My therapist says something similar. :)

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

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...
