I relate to being afraid of my anger being abusive. Not to kids; I don't have any, but to my roommate and everyone that has to be around me. My roommate thinks I get abusive to his cat just by yelling in the house (not at either of them; just yelling like on the telephone or just plain at *things*.

There are also certain noises I can't stand and they really make me so upset. (Relating to the whining) So upset that I fear it makes me abusive. Yesterday that was one of the things Bruce (roommate) and I were fighting about. I explained to him again about how certain sounds just *bother* me.
