that does sound difficult. i hear you about the thinking you're going to explode thing. do you think that sense of pressure building is linked to particular emotions? (i'm just thinking that sometimes when i can look at what's going on a little more specifically, like realizing that by feeling "bad" i mean feeling anger or guilt or fear, it helps me cope with it better.)

i hope you're doing okay.
