Today thought about how useful is it to even get upset. It doesn't really do much good, if anything it makes your problem worse because energy spent bitching about it could be spent doing something. Yet people still do it. It's an impossible double bind, sort of like forcing somebody to relax. The harder you try to do it, the more impossible it becomes. I learned this from job interviews. You look more credible if not nervous, so I try to force myself to calm down. Doesn't work. Doing nothing just lets the nervousness go.
I've been doing better about not getting upset at daily things. I just get scared when people drive like they are texting at the same time and not paying attention. If I put a camera on my dashboard I would capture something ridiculous probably 3 days out of five.
Not thinking about suicide as much, more just thinking about death without causing it to myself. Not trying to quit drinking again yet. I'll do that "tomorrow." Maybe alcohol is my slow suicide. It used to be smoking, but I quit, now drinking seems to have taken its place.
