I can relate SO much to this.
I am on edge almost all of the time, and EVERYTHING bugs me. I'll see something on the news that'll set me off, or someone will beep a horn too loud and startle me, or someone will be driving too fast on the driveway....just about anything will tick me off. And I hate it. I hate always being defensive, on edge, and *angry*. I really hate how I can sometimes direct this anger at my T (well, I guess I should say *ex* T)...she seems to take it fairly personally too, which makes it worse. And of course, later I always regret anything I might direct at her (calling her, sobbing), or if it's just me being angry at myself, I'll eventually get over it...until the next thing comes along.
I have no idea why. I thought maybe it was due to some unresolved issues, but, it doesn't look like they'll be resolved anytime soon (if at all), so either way I'm probably stuck this way for a while. I've been on Lexapro on and off but it didn't seem to help much in this aspect.
Please let me know if you find anything that helps!
