Hope you are happy about the child you are bringing into the world. I can see there are some stressors in your life. It is not easy dealing with them especially at work.

I have tried cursing and getting mad but I usually feel worse, so I have tried to make other adjustments in my life.

One thing I found is I was not getting enough sleep so I started having naps or going to bed earlier.

Another thing I found was that when I try to go too long in between meals, I get more angry as my blood sugar drops and my body goes into fight mode to avert the threat that low blood sugar represents.

For me the changes involved having protein with every meal or snack and not going more than 3 hours without a small protein snack or meal. I found reducing carbs and eliminating sugar helped stabilize my moods.

Another thing I had to do is give up trying to fulfill the expectations of perfection that my parents set for me. Without those unrealistic expectations my disappointments were at a more manageable level.
