At night, I could not sleep cuz I was sooo badly itching & scratching, I have Psoriasis, the warm weather makes me itchy. I was itchy & scratching for two nights, the first night, I scratched my back, I made it bleed, I found blood on my pillow. I have a ceiling fan in my bedroom, I have not put on my fan, I’m worrying too much about money, my fans in my bedroom & living room are engery saving. I’m upset at more things. This morning, my cat was meowing, I took my angry out on her. I was really upset at myself, wanting to die, I wanted to throw things, I wanted to pull out my hair, I wanted to screamed.

I'm so sorry you're going through this.

Have you found anything that can soothe you? Maybe watching a TV show or movie you enjoy, listening to music, going out for a walk, meditating, doing breathing exercises, doing any kind of exercise, maybe yoga or tai chi?

Sounds like a lot of stressors stacking at once. When that sort of thing happens I try to push myself into self-care rather than self-criticism mode.
