In general, I tend to look on the brighter side of things, as it is some thing that is always kept me going through my hardest of times. But there are times, when I am under a lot of stress where slightest thing becomes such an over whelming roadblock for me. When these things happen, I become so irritated with those closest to me. I cannot seem to get a range on my emotions and tend to lash out at them for anything and everything. I do not want to continue this cycle as I feel I am hurting the people I love most because I am hurting. I have done therapy and I have spoken about it, but when I get in that moment, the rage is so ever consuming I lose myself. I’m noticing this as a pattern throughout my life, and believe it may be one of the reasons why I haven’t been able to maintain many long-term friendships and relationships. as I said previously I am a very easy-going get along with most people type of person but when I get these bits of madness, I am not myself. I guess this post is a bit of venting and a bit of asking for help. What are some things that you all due to control your anger and bring yourself back to reality in those moments. Does anyone know why this might happen and if I will ever be able to control it?
