I have found that my temper has mellowed some with age (I'm 43 now). When I was younger, I used to break everything in sight, and rage for hours till I calmed down. Now that I'm on treatment, it takes me a little longer to get that angry. And when I do, I have found the practice of picturing my children's faces keeps me from doing anything really crazy that will wind me up in jail, or anything else I might regret. Then I try to remove myself from the situation until I calm down.
