Going to explode

Well it was a great day until I got a phone call and was informed that I no longer have a job.  Now I don't know what I am going to do.  I am feeling like I could explode.  I have had my meds but with every minute it feels like my skin could just bust open.   I am wondering if I cut myself if it would relieve the pressure and make me feel better.  It is so tempting to try because this just sucks.  I was having a great day and then wham.  Something had to come along and screw it up.  I will NOT pick up a bottle.  I just won't do it.  I want to sit here in my room and never come out.
