Thanks girls... so its not just me then. I think it is why we shy away from crowds and gatherings, as Camry said, it is us that can't tolerate them. I can walk through a shopping centre, get what I need and get out, but if I'm stuck at a counter or something waiting to pay, well... anything goes from that point on. I could lose it there, or just get worse a little later on. Having to tolerate someone asking stupid questions, or complaining about something that just shouldn't be complained about... that does me for sure. Definately the mood around me...

Yer... funny that PMT thing... I do say that to the wife sometimes. My bad! I try to reframe from it though. She is learning how to cope with me, but more importantly, knowing things like this really plays an impact on my mood. I think my wife has read this, as she has started to relax around me the last couple of days, and funny enough, I have been good myself. As soon as someone around me is stressing for something so silly or irrelevant to me, that does me in. I look at things now as, is it life threatening, or not? If not, don't stress, if so, deal with quickly.

I am very much still black and white, though really trying hard to introduce some grey into decisions and my thought patterns. I still get a bit grumbly when driving, but nowhere near what I used to be like. I really just try and think to myself now, maybe they have PTSD and they are upset, in a bad mood, grumpy, need to get somewhere quick, etc etc.... It keeps me a little more calmer anyway.
