Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- My anger feels like it comes out of nowhere and blindsides me every time, but afterward I half-suspect the same handful of things keep setting me off
- I’m already wound tight and on edge before anything even happens, so the smallest thing tips me straight into rage
- The instant someone cuts me off or drops the ball, I’m sure they did it to me on purpose, and that one assumption is what sends me through the roof
- I blew up at someone again and the anger came out instant and loud, but if I’m honest it was covering something rawer
- My head is loud and overstimulated and plain breathing isn’t cutting through it
