I really do not know what is wrong with me. I get mad at such small things and automatically think people are against me. Whenever I see what at the time I think is someone being unfair to my daugher I step in with such vengence it actually scares me. I have had to apoligize many times to people I attacked verbally. My anger issue has even caused my daughter to have to switch schools. Overall I am a nice person but not easy to get along with. I know this intense anger stems from childhood and the compulsion to protect my daugher as to do with the fact that no one ever protected me. It's not rocket science but help...how can I calm myself down before I react to someone who in all reality isn't doing anything wrong. I am tired of looking like a psycho who can't control herself. I do not want my daughter to be ashamed to be around me wondering what I will do next. Any suggestions? :eek:

Please can anyone give any suggestions or has anyone been in a similar position? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I know exaclty about getting mad over the tiniest trivial stuff I overreact all the time over stupid lil things mostly to "protect" myself though, im 18 and recently I posted on here abotu my problem and how mean and pissy I am to my boyfreind and I was yelling at him everyday about something, but Ive started to realize more how much this is hurtign him and me I wasnt aware what I was doing to us, I know this isnt much help but what I have been doing for the past few days is mostly biting my tongue (not literally) It is hard because he will say somethign that I wanna be like I was before and be like *** MORON IDIOT blablablaaa but Ive been controllignmyself well these past few days Im really realizing my anger is only hurting not helping me any and it needs to stop So I have just been concentrating on making mine and my boyfreinds life better and much easier without my constantly harrassing him lol You first have to realize what affects your attitude is having and you just have to get real about it ya know I know i overreact about things and now Im just calming myself down and I havent really felt the urge to B*tch at him lately, I know if i dont stop i will probably lose him and just worsen myself because I will just be more angry about things if i lose him due to my anger, im not saying to hold back if someone is beign seriously wrong or rude im sure if i feel he really deserves it i wil llet him have it because im nto going to be a pushover but im not going to continue being a b*tch either
