Acknowledgement is the first step to curing that nasty temper.
I used to be that way. It was mostly hormones; only sixteen back then. Screaming, remorse, shutting to self, repeat. Familiar? That's untreated depression. Could be clinical. My bestfriend was a d-bag for a whole year throughout the time he relied on anti-depressants (ironic enough).
Try this:
1. Take a piece of paper and write down the names of your loved ones that you hurt. Then state a brief sentence why you were last mad at them. It could be something as simple as, "He ate the last fruit bar."
2. After that, turn the page and jot down what you want that person to do next time.
3. Talk to the respective person about your second page and see if they want to compromise.
3. If yes, you've to return the favor by being more patient with them. If no, then find an alternative solution to see things the optimistic way. "I can always get another fruit bar from the store."
Good luck on resolving your depression and fixing hurt relationships.
Is it normal that I take my aggression out on those closest to me?
