Ugh [someone who requested I not mention her]! I'm livid. I could slap the shit out her right now. A nice smell of good yumminess wafted into the computer room, so I asked, "What are you cooking in there ( Read more... )

This just sounds like an overreaction to me.

Littlest things are setting you off...

Yeah, one can only take so much before they explode at everything. I think I need a break.

Hm. Maybe she's having a bad day too? Who knows. Sorry things have to get violent... It's very admirable of you to keep sticking with your straight edge, keeping things working out for you right now. Whatever you decide to do, moving out or otherwise, I hope it's the best for you on your new paths.

Well yeah. She must be having a bad something. No violence. Yes sXe. Thanks for your support sweeti!

Anyway, i'm getting really really tired of this kind of thing going on, and I'm not sure what I'm going to do next.

Wait until you both are in a good head space and sit down and talk about it. You may be more edgy since you are being straight edge and not used to certain triggers. She may just be having a bad day, bad nights sleep, sick?? Granted just saying the food being prepared is considerate, perhaps she is edgy and snappy as well and that is her way of dealing with it knowing or not that it is a trigger for you.

Me, I am still figuring out this kind of stuff and identifying it in myself. Perhaps a nice walk in the sun to clear you head may be in order?? (I know I said sun but... hey... )

How about another theory?

How about the cumulative effect of dealing with another person's anger and depression, which starts at roughly the very moment she wakes up? A person can only take so much before they become very irritable about every little thing. Its a mechanism of self protection via creation of distance.

And the flip side is that [cough cough] is taking steps to become less angry and less depressed, so I keep getting this renewed hope that it will stop....
