Tired of getting angry!

[cmb_yea_13]

It seems like everyday someone makes me angry. I never react to these ppl in the moment and end up taking it out on my poor daughter, by being impatient and snappy with her. Should I confront the ppl that **** me off initially or learn to control my emotions and bite my tongue. How can I tell if I'm over-reacting?

hmmm, even though it sounds more logical to start adressing with the person that ignited the anger, the best thing to do would be to eliminate those things that make us feel anger. It is ourselves what gives someone else's act or words bad or good. When we are happy for whatever reason, people can insult to us, and we just dont care, we even laugh or smile, that is at least what happens to me, but when we are irritated, it just *****, i answer in rude ways to my close relatives, who many times all they want to do is to help. Anger even being legitime is not healthy, better than worry about where to focus the effects it would be better to worry about the causes. We should try to find some way to remove that bitter part of ourselves that makes us feel anger. Sounds dfficult, but, it's just my idea.

I absolutely agree that I should try to control my impatience and anger with my daughter. But, I also think I should start addressing the original issue with the person that ignited the anger. My problem is I don't always know when my anger is legitimate or just an over-reaction on my part. I may have anger control issues or possibly paranoia. I wonder if these are symptoms of my PTSD?

hi there, and thanks for your comment. Just like you i have become very irritated lately, because of thise depression, the people and actions that make me angry are all in my mind as a memory, but the ones that receive all the anger are my coworkers and relatives that have nothing to do with the reason of the problem. When i become aware of these i feel a lot of fear, because i realize i can turn into a no-reason monster, or a beast, just like i said my father was when i was a kid. I think we have to control this states, i know is it easy to say, but being rude to people especielly kids could develop some consequences.
