losing it

Can't take this feeling anymore. I'm ready to put a hole in the wall or my husbands head. He's being insensitive so its making it worse. I've already took my Ativan, it just doesn't work like the klonopin did in these situations. I feel like I could really lose it tonight and hurt myself or someone else...I'm gonna try and fight it, but I can't sleep on top of all that. Help!

Breath.. take nice deep breaths... could you make yourself a cup of tea or take a nice warm bath to calm you.. I would try and stay away from any discussions when you feel like this...they'll probably just add insult to injury..this to shall pass..x

Agree with SunCloud take your self away from the situation. A long walk can clear the head.I usually head to water because it helps to center me but finding a place that makes you feel and think clearly is a must. It will get ride of that extra negative energy and give you time to comprehend just what has transpired.

I know how you feel. I actually hung up on my mother tonight she pissed me off so badly or rather I over reacted/misinterpreted something.
Actually just got out of the hospital after an involuntary committal for 2 weeks. They never broke into my house like last time, this time I came in for a meeting with my mental health worker and had just parked and was surrounded by 3 cop cars. Hauled my ass to the hospital where there were no beds so they sent me to another hospital an hour and a bit away. I saw a psychiatrist and nurse before the trip, she said I had to take clonazepam and ativan before the trip and I told her I wanted it by injection. I knew her from my stay before and like the bitch she is she said I always had to do it the hard way. Wasn't worth explaining to her that an injection would put me out quickly and I wouldn't have to endure the pain of having my bony wrists cuffed behind my back for the long trip. By the end of this stay the psychiatrist and I were only communicating by writing as we had so many screaming matches.
