anger issues?

ok guys i know i may seem like the happy go lucky person but let me tell you..today i have stressed out and very pizzed off. the smallest things are making me grit my teeth and fly off. and sadly i feel normal.
my husband and our neighbor grilled tonight..rib eyes..spent big money..made potaoes and shrimp..hub brings home mine n my daughters(she was at bible school)..i said ok let me go pick her up and then ill eat with her..got home and my dog had jumped up on my counter (yes and im like wtf) and ate every single piece of it. naturally i flew off..put her out and dared either of them to let her back in the house. ok but i cant seem to calm down and thats stressing me out. my hubby is sad because he did that for me and i never got to eat the first bite.
ok had to vent..but hey im open for a stress releif idea..
im here posting now to mellow out some but i cant seem to calm down grrr.
is this normal to be so edgy and short temptered?
i actually popped a few BB's off outside thinking i could channel my anger thru them( silly i know but hey, anything is worth a try)

OMG girl so sorry to hear this, But guess what it happens to the best of us, just like as if we were never on pills, remember what that was like? Remember having good days and bad days back then? I sure do. We are not perfect and we are gonna get angry and mad from time to time, (only human) it is natural. Hang in there, tomorrow will be a better day.
I got a little frustated tonight also, yelled at my son for no reason at all, Feel like sh** now. He left and went to a friends. Guilt setting in now.
I went to my parents house tonight also for the first time since i started this whole withdrawal thing, and please listen to what i am about to say.
My dad was diagnosed with prostate cannce.
r almost 3 yrs. ago, he was misdiagnosed for the first yr. they were treating him for arthitus. Well Since then found out he had prostate cancer and since he had not been correctly diaganosed it had spread, well anyway he now how bone cancer from head to toe, and he is only 51yrs. old. Anyway when i walked in tonight there he sat in his chair, the cancer is eating his hip bone now, it is getting into his organs, he does not have long left, this is breaking my heart. I sat there tonight wathching him suffer so damm bad, he is on Fetanol patches, Morophine lollipops and much more, but nothing is helping him anymore. He was never one to just sit and do nothing, very hard worker. But now he can't move. Anyway i sat there and while feeling bad for all i am going through, just sat there and watched him suffering so damm bad. Made me think of my life and my health and the things i still have in my life, and i am going to still be here tomorrow, as for he may not. Boy what an eye opener for me. My moms heart is breaking and i can't be there right now cause of my freakin problems and this is so unfair to her. Moral of my story to you is , it could be so much worse. Please hang in there, better days are ahead. We all have these stupid bad days and want to scream and hit something, but go outside sit down and Thank God for getting you this far. This is what i did. It really helped me..

My tears are flowing now...

Don't be so hard on yourself, you are better than that.

LOL, i knew you meant 90% of the people here..
Anyway, I have also been lacking energy BIGTIME... Yesterday i went and got some (Vitamin B Complex)  just started them yesterday, and today i was definately more energized than i have been in a long time. It did take me awhile to get up and movin', but after forcing myself to go outside and get some work done, it really made a world of difference. So I am not sure if it was the vitamins or what, but i am guessing it was. Can't hurt, so if ya can stop and get those at any drug store...Hope they help you, like they did me.

Good luck to you

i am so sorry about your dad i lost my dad when he was 50. i understand the pain that goes with watching someone die..i watched it for yrs then 20 long days in the hospital. there are no words to make it better just the fact that mentally i am hugging you with all i have. and your right..it can be alot worse i do have days ahead of me( cant say that for my dog j/k) well kinda not sure yet.  sometimes it take an eye opener like what you saw today to kinda snap ya back. reading your story took me to my own dads death and yes it helped me calm down and focus on what i need to be doing now..detoxing and looking frd to tomorrow because unlike some ppl..i have a tomorrow to look frd to. as do we all. thank you for this..it means alot
