Now, the edge doesn't go away!
Hi Tertor, I've had success dealing with irritability and anxiety by using Mindful meditation. Unfortunately, I fell away from doing daily meditation, but I did notice a distinct difference in my mood when I was meditating a few minutes each day, every day.

I'm restarting again now. Perhaps it's something that would help you? I started with this article by Thich Nhat Hanh Five Steps to Mindfulness , and with only 2 minutes 2x a day. I don't know if it would help you, but the only thing you have to lose is a few minutes of time for a few days
