Corafree,
I can relate on perhaps a smaller scale. I've been feeling highly irritable, angry for no reason, and mean recently. It's upsetting when there's no identifiable object for the anger. And I'm sure it's upsetting when you feel you're getting steadily worse and others aren't helpful.Can you do something physical, yet safe, to get out some of that energy? I know these can sound silly, but beat a pillow? Throw something safe at the wall (stuffed animal or something)? Throw ice in the shower? Pound chicken breasts into cutlets (or into "lacy chicken" if you get into it too much, lol). A walk? Exercise? Clean? Even if it's not particularly enjoyable as a task, if you can work out some of that anger energy, maybe it can help?
And then self-soothing. Sit quietly and focus inward on your breath. Take a bath. Make some tea or cocoa or soup. Massage some lotion into your hands and feet. Watch a funny movie or tv show.
Wish I could do more. Sending you peace and love...
Namasté
