All day today I have felt unstable. I can't explain why but one minute I'm ok the next minute I'm emotionally shaky. I made a mistake at work, nothing major but I instantly felt like an incompetent idiot. The world really wasn't ending but for about 3 hrs. I just kept beating myself up over it. I was really angry with myself. After work my mother asked me a question about my legal problem and I got real irritated with her. I was angry, frustrated and I was kinda mean when talking about it. At home I decide to check out Facebook and certain posts that shouldn't bother me got under my skin. I don't like being this unstable. I don't like being so sensitive.I don't know what happened to cause this. The one thing thats helping me feel better is knowing I have a visit with my therapist tomorrow. Venting on PC helps too.

I really hate when stuff like that happens. I have days like these as well. Try distracting yourself like starting a project. I make jewelry and I've found that the simple task of stringing beads and focusing on one thing helps a bit.

Yup, just been one of those days. Distracting myself is a good idea. Thats cool that you have a talent like that. I make stained glass but the problem when working with breaking glass and being in this kind of mood is I might start thinking of SI. I'll have to choose something safer for now.

You're welcome. I love Elizabeth Wurtzel. I totally get how she felt as a young adult. Prozac Nation was a phenomenal book.

I got mad at my son today...for asking for lunch. I think maybe I was just mad that he had come back from his dad's at 1pm without eating, even though his step-mom said she fed him. I still was irritated nonetheless.
