This exactly. I don't know how to cope with this...I feel like I'm going to explode out of my skin. I usually find myself somewhere behind and to the right of my body when this happens. Not inside, but tethered to myself (don't know if that makes sense or not). and hurting myself is usually the only thing that brings me back. My leg is ok. There was more blood than wound; a deep puncture, but luckily no gash.

Thank you all for your replies. I really do try, but I seem to come up short so often. If I could just take some time away from all of my responsibilities and try to relax and center myself maybe I could straighten out.
