I Am Emotionally Unstable

I've always had strange or extreme reactions to things, mainly adversity. When I feel trapped or as if my back is against a wall I either lash out or threaten suicide. The feelings can be quite strong and I have caught myself wild eyed having intense inner battles as to whether or not to go drink drano.

If I feel attacked in anyway 9/10 times I will freak out and fight back. I seem to be naturally highly defensive by nature. I do not care if I say unkind things at that point. I tend to dig and dig and dig until I strike an artery. Yes, I tend to low blow. I have always been this way it's nothing new.

I can burst out laughing at nothing. Out of nowhere laughter. All alone, laughter. There are times where I feel a strong presence of sorrow and hopelessness. It doesn't take much to irritate me.

So help the world if I ever get lost or turned around someplace. The worst is when I drive. I lose my mind. I lost my mind driving to work about a year ago. I was not all familiar with the roads surrounding my place of work as I was newer to the area then. My usual route was blocked off by flares and police officers. I couldn't figure out how to get around. I kept going in a loop only to arrive at the closed off road again and again. I was going to be late and I cannot stand being late as I am a very punctual person. If one thing goes wrong in my routine I get huffy. I ended up getting so worked up I drove erratically. Yes, I sometimes drive erratically when I am lost and upset. Mumblings of self hatred, feelings of intense hopelessness and suicide creeping up on me I had parked in a nearby Denny's parking lot to try to calm down. I thought about walking the rest of the way and leaving my car there. I got out of my car, slammed the door viciously and began to walk. I didn't get far as I realized I did not trust my car there for hours unattended. I head back still freaking out except what I felt internally was now projecting outwards. Unfortunately there were a couple of people in the parking lot when I had arrived and they got to witness myself screaming and yelling about being angry the road is blocked off. F this and F that. More growling, pacing and I got back into my car and tried to figure things out again via GPS. I had finally moved past the blinders that come on me when I get into this mental state and began to think rationally. I was late and my day was ruined for the first half of my shift.

This is not the first time I had lost my mind for being lost in a parking lot and it will not be my last.

If I am out somewhere and I even hear the faintest of giggles or see the faintest of smiles in my direction I assume I am being made fun of and get angry. I have been known to glare at people. If I am dead certain I am being made fun of I automatically feel hate for that person and can visualize myself beating them up. Strangulation, kicking, punching, anything and everything to make them stop I can envision it.

I just am a creature of habit and routine. If someone sits in my usual spot I feel uneasy and upset. If I don't leave the house at the same time every morning for work I get upset and automatically assume I will be late and will try to overcompensate for it. Just very creature of habit. I've always been that way.
I'm emotional stable, I don't take things personally. and yes we are creatures of habit's " You are your habits", are you in a good physical shape? when you do monologues ( brain exercise ) do you note them down? # A thought can lead to a feeling, and a feeling can trigger a thought. you need to examine your feelings as to why you feeling this way at this time/subject/matter/situation and learn how to control that by not letting one controls the other.
You have paranoid schizophrenia?

@SStarfish I could for all I know. I have a thing about peepholes in doors. I know I have been told that you can't really see into a place through them but I cannot trust that. I have to black it out, as well as computer webcams, I have to put my phone facedown when not in use. There are just somethings I cannot trust.
@TheSacredOne well.. Phones can be hacked and all that.. Idk about the door peepholes tho.. That's too daring irl imo i doubt many people try that or even the phone thing unless it was super important. I doubt anyone would bother.. Eh?

I get a bit parinoid too but yours sounds higher level extremely paranoid.. No offense
