I used to be such an easy going perosn. It used to take a lot for me to get angry, but I have noticed that in the last year I am angry a lot! I'm angry more then I am happy! I find myself yelling at my kids over little things that in the past would have never bothered me. Its a daily thing that I seem to get mad at my husband for nothing. He can look at me the wrong way and I get defensive and mad. What is going on? I don't like being this way. I don't like my family feeling like they are walking on eggshells around me!! I feel like me being angry all the time over stupid stuff is tearing my family appart!! I want to be that happy easy going person again!! But I don't know how to get her back!!!

You got a lot more stress and responsibility in your life now. It's probably just wearing you down and your temperment. Your best bet is to talk to your husband about it and go seek counseling. A therapist may help you find your old self again and teach you ways to deal with the stress.

Has something traumatic happened recently? It sounds like post-traumatic stress disorder. I know that after I was robbed, I was kind of angry all the time, and then when I was assaulted, I was ready to go postal after a a period of time. Now I don't know if it is still about that or I am starting menopause early. I know it sounds like I am trivializing, but I swear I am not. I ponder about my own anger and try to let it go, only to have it come right back and I have no idea anymore exactly why I am angry, just that I am, and feel justified in being so.

Therein lies the secret. You have to learn to control your emotions. Think positive thoughts all the time. When you start to feel a negative thought about anything, no matter how small, enter your mind, you have to think about something that makes you happy. A song. A flower... a place you love. Anything to flip the negative thought to a positive one.
Make lists of positive things you like about your life.
You're thinking, that I'm a fruit loop for even suggesting this, but it works.
In order to control your thoughts - which are negative thoughts or you wouldn't be angry all the time - you have to learn to control your emotions. When you feel sadness, anger, depression anything negative you have to do something immediately to flip that into a happy feeling. Think about something that makes you laugh or something that makes you smile.
The only way to control your thoughts is to control your emotions.

You obviously have something to say to your wife or friends that's bothering you but you avoid it all the time
