I definitely agree with likewater.

The mind is attached with the body. Every time I've gone into the hospital (for emotional health) I've gotten very physically ill & and vice-versa. And I've been to hospitals many times! There's definitely a correlation.

Not everyone is down low enough to pick up on the correlation. But, when you have a lot going on in your life, the littlest thing is the trigger. That's a scientific fact. The hope is to catch your stressors and emotions before it gets too deep to deal with. Simplify things as much as possible and go from there.

At first, you may just notice that you're feeling overwhelmed and BOOM! Keep practicing. Apologize to your kids when you do blow. Children are amazingly understanding and kind when the emotions are explained. (Personally, I had always feared that my kids would hate me, and go down my roads, etc. leading me into an even bigger panic! What helped was making apologies & taking responsibility for my blow-outs habit. That helped enormously!!)
