hi trish, i know that feeling of being a ticking time bomb. i spent yesterday and my only communication with anyone was snapping at my dad, i was annoyed and ticked off by everything around me. you are right though, if we let it go too far we will do something stupid and get in trouble, thats the last thing we need. my only suggestion is what kinda works for me: mindfulness, gratefulness, i know that you are good at doing both.
im glad your kitten is ok.
