anger.

I'm sorry to make a thread I haven't been posting lately but I could really use some help.

The last 8 months are the longest that I have ever been out of hospital and for the most part things are going well. But lately I have been finding myself stressed out and usually I handle it pretty well but it is getting out of control. My moods are all over the place and I am snapping at everyone over really small things and can't seem to stop myself. I will be fine one minute and then I see red and it's getting to the point where I am so desperate to stop it I'm thinking about self harming. I haven't self harmed in 10 months and I don't want to go back, I guess the problem is that in the past it was one of my coping strategies. I thought about getting blades today and it really scared me.

I went and saw my psychiatrist today and talked to him about it, but he didn't really have any suggestions which only made it worse. I am trying to make myself stop and breathe or count and when it is possible removing myself from other people. I want to sort this out myself I'm sick of asking other people what to do but I'm out of ideas and feeling helpless.

I don't want to go backwards, I would really appreciate it if anyone has any ideas.

maybe rather than focusing on the moments when you snap, you could try to focus on not letting yourself get so stressed out? it sounds like you're already trying to do this though...

Thankyou for the reply I really appreciate it. But yes I am trying to focus on that, unfortunately there are a few things going on right now that I can't change which I guess is the problem. I just feel weak not being able to just suck it up and get over it, I want to be in control and not be like this. I want to take responsibility and sort this out myself I've spent so long replying on others for support, I want to show them that I can do it myself but it doesn't seem to be working for this issue.
