Stress Center Peer Support

I have a really bad temper that I can't seem to control. It goes from 0 to 60 instantly where I see red. I direct a lot of my anger at my partner and my mother while at home and on the phone. One thing upsets me and I start going into all kinds of things that upset me, like a snow ball effect. Both my mother and boyfriend try to talk sense to me when I'm upset like this and I just can't snap out of it. I end up saying really awful and hurtful insults, etc. It's like I'm a wild animal. It takes awhile for me to chill out. This doesn't happen to me in public or with those who I work with. Just at home or when I'm on the phone with my mother. I've noticed that my father has a similiar issue where he gets crazy mad. I didn't grow up with him, so I didn't learn this from him.

Wow! You used the term 0 to 60 for your anger. I thought I was the only one that was used on. I didn't know that was a way of describing other people's anger. I know what you're going through.

What do you do to curbed your anger? Is it getting better? Worse?
