Hi Dinah,
It sounds like a really uncomfortable place to be in right now. Given all your stressors over the last year, I'd say you were entitled to be enraged if you wanted to. But I know that doesn't help the feeling.I get really really angry/touchy/hair trigger from time to time. I don't want to minimize your experience, but do you think there might be a hormonal component to it? Just before my period, all of my emotions get more intense, but particularly anger and sensitivity to triggers.
Just a thought...I'm glad you know it will pass, and I hope it passes quickly.
In the meantime, take care. If you can find a healthy outlet, go for it! I like to go to a batting cage and hit baseballs. Whack-A-Mole games are fun, too. And I can't tell you how therapeutic it was to throw bundles of old carpet down the basement stairs. My sister and I named each bundle for someone who annoyed us. :-D
Down they go!
Pulling up ground cover I wanted to get rid of in order to make a new flower bed was also very good at reducing my physical experience of anger about something, and helping me clear my mind. If you can find anything like these ideas...Be creative!
Take care,
gg
