I am like this and angry sometimes. My meds for the mental state have helped a lot but still of course there are my times where I am a mix of emotions like I stated on the other thread. I have little patience espeically when my pain is bad. When I get like this to not take it out on anothers I try to take a deep breath and if at all possible not be near people I may explode on. I also think what people forget is yes the physical pain is so horrible but also mentally this takes a toll. Everyday waking up to the unknow of what will come pain wise or other health situations is very draining.
