This is going to be hard.... 2 weeks ago

I’ve tried this before, its a lot harder than most people would think it is. I’ve been told stuff like “Oh, all you have to do is think before you say something..”, and stuff like that. That. Is. Not. Easy. hmmm, I wonder how long this will take me, hopefully I can do it and i’ll finally stop arguing with my mom and dad.

hello all.
i become interesting at this topic “control my temper” because i think i have some anger issues and i think i inherited it (anger) from my father , because he has always been shoouting at our home….even if when he just speaks he speaks with loud voice…..i care about him but i hate this part of him , cause im just like him at this point , i dont know how to deal with it , ijust want to change it , cause i dont want to be like him when i become a parent….i just want to stop it , but i dont know how…...and i become very fast angry with my dad …sometimes he gets my nerves very fast, i dont want to become like him even in the future

I'm mellowing out with age. 2 months ago

Suddenly, things don’t seem so important anymore. I’m not freaking about stuff. I still get ill. But it isn’t that high-level, nasty, rage anymore. Now I simmer and then…POOF! Nothing. God is cool. I know that He’s doing this for me.

I guess He knew that eventually I would have went to jail, if I stayed as angry as I was. lol



anger management 3 months ago

Both my Husband and I have very short fuses. Luckily this does not end in any physical harm. It does however end in emotional stress. He has never been violent towards me, nor I towards him. However, we both allow ourselves to let things build up until we lose our temper and turn it inwards. It is unhealthy to let things build up and we have enough stress in our lives without letting petulance get the better of us. Besides, it is not very profitable when we have to replace the household items we throw against the wall! So far the mobil fones have survived, but a few house phones have met an early grave…

So i think i did very well on this goal considering i could have made a man ineligible to have babies because of the anger he made me feel. i think he tried to be all sweet about it but in the end all i heard was “you don’t know how to do your job and you have no control over any of it… you need to change your ways- i could do it 10 times better than you could”
i wanted to just tell him he had no f’in clue what he was talking about and to get out of my face and go fuck off and that i was not going to take his “advice” because then i wouldn’t be who i am and wouldn’t have the wonderful job i have, or have the wonderful customers i have that say they wouldn’t go anywhere else.
i simply smiled and said “ok” and walked off… no “you are certainly right, mister” no “i will take your advice”

then this jack ass has the nerve to tell me i did a wonderful job at work today and that if i keep up the good work, i’ll be amazing in no time. WHEN I DID NOTHING DIFFERENT!!!!!!!

people just disgust me how they think they know everything about everyone and that they are just so damn perfect for the world that they think they can do everything.

fuck off….

Ugh, I really need to do this and could use any help/advice from anyone. My temper is really getting the best of me and I want to learn to control it. Everyone knows me as “the bitch” and it hurts my feeling.. not just for being called that, but by yelling at peopl and hurting their feelings, it does really hurt me.

I will need to update daily on how I do.. or at least weekly. :-)

Mood swings, sigh. I know my impatience and impulsiveness have hurt my parents’ feelings in the past, I always regretted saying things afterwards, but by then the harm’d be done. My father has a problem with his temper too, it’s really not good for ones health, but we make a bad cocktail. I know he loves me though and I love him too, but I find it so hard to stop being so impulsive and stubborn. I don’t want to hurt anyone.
