Welcome RemembertoBreathe. I can have a short fuse as well. How I've dealt with it is to exercise regularly because it lifts my mood. I can also normally recognize when I'm getting snappy and if possible will try to avoid people and situations that can be triggers. If I'm off work I'll go to a movie, go to the stables etc.

Journaling and speaking with a therapist has also helped.
