Yes I definitely can understand profound irritability and blind anger. That was actually what caused me to seek help years ago. I knew that wanting to slap the lips off everyone who spoke to me was an "over-reaction" <cough>. All I have been able to manage is to achieve an emotional buffer zone... kind of a lag time so I can try to respond appropriately to whatever is tickling my trigger (stop touching that!). If that doesn't work I just have to walk away until I can be reasonable, and it is within our rights to request said space. I think my fuse will always be kinda short, but I can choose how many casualties there are. I prefer none, including ME
