Anger management was suggested to me as well. Honestly, it probably would be helpful to me. I do become emotionally "overloaded" and that's when my temper is real short. In the very short-term, I blow up. That is immediately followed by self-hate and all of the temptations that come with that intense emotion.

With kids, I think that regulating my schedule around them is absolutely necessary. For some reason, I have extremely high expectations of myself. I am very forgiving of other people, in their limits and such. Me...I'm not forgiving of myself at all. The reality is that I can only do so much. Finding the right balance in my life feels so tricky! Some days are completely out of whack and I'm convinced that I suck & ought to die. Other days go pretty well, for the most part, and I'm not stuck in self-hate thoughts.

Just wanted you to know that I can relate to how you're feeling. Best wishes to you!
