Just noticed today how frequently I sound angry or annoyed, and how much of the time I actually feel that way. It's alot of the time. The feedback loop between myself and myself is very negative -I keep telling myself to moderate my tone, not to take things so seriously, relax, etc. but can't seem to do it, so I get into a spiral where I don't like myself and don't see how anyone else could either. I don't want to be a pain to myself and everyone else, but this is all I've got right now.
I'm nice to the little kids I teach and people at work, but kinda kick my husband's ass quite a bit. Some things he does are genuinely annoying, but he's just a person trying to do his best and doesn't deserve to be dealt with harshly all the time. I'm hard to live with right now; trying to get into therapy, but neither of the two programs I've contacted are calling me back.
Today was actually a more neutral day than I've had since I hung out with my ex. I still go through periods of hating everything, but don't have such a profound sense of futility. I'm still feeling poundy and smashy, but I've already messed up the mouse by smashing it on the computer desk, and I like posting here - if the mouse gets more messed up I won't be able to do that, so I'll hold off on the smashing for now. If I keep feeling this way, I'll life some weights. Coping for now.
