I think it's likely you initially stuff some anger and may later explode?
Maybe I'm projecting my own willingness to stuff, even to initially deny, anger.

If we can catch it early on, it might not brew into something bigger?

This is where anger management might be helpful?

No matter our diagnoses, we cope better recognizing and managing our emotions, including anger/frustration -- the earlier the better.

I remember when you were feeling overwhelmed by the noise and generalized commotion in the house. You were immediately very remorseful, once you'd vented within the household. I recall you'd gone as far as staying with your brother one night.

I also think its possible for you and your bf to have a viable plan when you are feeling overwhelmed by noise, etc.

Having room to learn some emotional regulation skills does not make anyone a bad person.

Self-compassion is usually the most difficult. Yet, what would you say to your best friend if he/she told you how s/he were suffering when feeling overwhelmed and had tipped over the stool?
