Or fast forward through....

My therapist says something similar. :)

> I find that if there are things I must do before I do something self destructive, that the urges have time to go away or lessen. Or as you said, your mood can turn.

It does seem like I'm most immobilized when I'm most er...dangerous.

> You seem to have a good understanding that you won't always feel this way. While I know that doesn't make it feel any better, at least hold on to that understanding to help you keep perspective.

Well, the logical side can repeat the mantra "A bad day today doesn't guarantee a bad day tomorrow." It's really me trying to reason with myself. Good cognitive practice, right? Except it doesn't always make it back to the emotional side. So...what if I lose control in one of these nightmarish moods?

But you are right, not having things neatly wrapped up and organized is one strategy.

> I hope your day improves.

Thanks. At least it didn't get worse...
