Everything seems to make me angry. I never use to be like this. I don't know what is wrong with me.

You didn't really state your age or sex and these may be related to your anger. Someone once told me that impatience is a form of abuse. I've thought a lot about that statement and have made a genuine effort to re-channel my anger or impatience. It means walking away, counting, thinking about things, talking it over with someone you trust, self-reflection. Your situation can be very much tied to hormones and that makes something that is chemically based hard to overcome with just thinking, but it is possible. Consider any anger management groups in your area. Is there any reason you feel you patience has changed in the last two years - do you have a new job, partner, baby, home, town, have you suffered any losses? Are finances tight? All of these demands contribute towards anger and it is really about thinking it through, giving yourself space to gain perspective and thus, conquer anger. Do things that will help you get perspective - engage in activities you enjoy, even if its just for a few minutes a day, force yourself to take the other person's point of view (the one you just lost patience with). In your mind do a little role play and force yourself to be the person you're mad at. Look at yourself and what do you see? Change it. Apologize and when you realize you made a mistake do the best you can to change it, make it better and take responsibility for your behavior. Exercise - natural endorphins really help to buffer the hormones and stress that add up to anger. You can actually burn of the cortisol that builds up in your body during stressful times - get rid of it! Do things or read things that make you laugh. Laughter is the best medicine. Just make sure the laughs don't come at another's expense - no people or animals should get hurt- even their feelings- so that you can laugh. I recommend old Buster Keaton movies as well as Harold Lloyd and any other slapstick. They are so human and yet so ridiculous you can't help but laugh at them and then at yourself. Good Luck.

This is not a helpful response, I just wanted to let your know that I really loved your question. I have been the same way for a while. Some of the answers even made me cry. This is really silly, but I have put up sticky notes all over my house, like on the fridge, bathroom mirror etc... saying things like "relax, smile, be grateful, go out and have fun with your family, patience" etc.... When I am feeling like screaming or am very irritated this helps remind me and bring me back to where I need to be as a wife and mother

nothing is wrong with you. everyone goes through that period in their lives. it could be a number of things. but you have to let it out somehow, because it will drive you away from everyone.i had the same situation last year.it didn't go well for me, separated from my spouse, just to find out in the end that i needed a break, not a break up. thank God we are back together now.
just try to find out what's bothering you the most: what is deep down the cause of this impatience and anger. only you alone have the answer to that.
God Bless

Do you get any exercise? Vigorous exercise to the point of physical tiredness can help as an outlet for anger and frustration. If you think you need to get to the root cause of your problem, contact a psychologist, counselor or therapist to resolve any conflicts you might be having.

I guess stress and pressure is all build up in you. Maybe you should take things easy. Plan for a holiday or something to get your mind off.

Go out and do something for someone else. Thatt will get your mind off of yourself. You really need to relax.
Good luck
