Stress Center Peer Support

I listened to session 6 for the first time today and I think this week is going to be a challenge for me...I have a bad temper and get angry very easily. I know stopping this bad habit is really going to take a conscience effort on my part. I am the type that I will hold things in and not say anything until one day I just explode. I have a hard time with letting people know I am angry without screaming and yelling and loosing my cool. Does anyone else have this problem and if so any advice? This is something I really would like to change about myself.

Wow...I totally impressed myself today...My mom has been sick over the last few weeks and my sister tried to start a huge fight with me over this...I let her scream and yell as she always does and usually I would scream and yell back but I stayed perfectly calm and said what I had to say and didnt let her get to me...usually I could feel my blood boiling after I would fight with her but this time I was completely calm and did not give her the satisfaction...what a great feeling! I never thought I would be able to do it but I did...this program is really amazing!

Congratulations, BB! It does feel good to have control of our emotions, somewhat, or what we do with them. Yippee! Paislee
