Exploding at my loved ones?

Question

I honestly do not know what my problem is, but little things tend to make me blow up. Like for example, my boyfriend is always going to sleep late and waking up late, which isn't that big of a deal, but i really tend to explode and i stay frustrated and say things i don't mean. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to contain yourself? I'd really appreciate it.

Answer 1

Stop and take a breath before you speak! Your are not only hurting there feelings but causing yourself great damage!!! Your blood pressure goes up every time you do that, It takes some time for it to come back down. You could damage your nerves and cause all sorts of health problems later!!!!! You must work on that for your own good. Just pick your battles, you don't have to get mad at everything. If you stop and think about it, apparently you have now, but 99% of the things you ever got mad at didn't really matter the next day did they? Can you even remember what you were mad about? That's what I'm talking about. It has become a natural reaction and just another bad habit. You can stop it, you just have to take 5 seconds every time you think you are getting upset and remember what I said. It won't matter tomorrow!!!! Concentrate on the positive and ignore the negatives!

Answer 2

This is what has helped me when I was upset but didn't know what was causing it. I would write down everything that I'd done over the last few days every single thing that I could remember. I was usually able to remember what it was that got me upset and to realize that what is was wasn't really that important in the first place.

Answer 3

It may sound silly, but it really does help:
eliminate caffiene,
drink lots of water,
eliminate excessive sugar,
eat your veggies and fruit (like your mom told you too)
get your sleep
get lots of fresh air
