my husband is struggling with this same problem dragon. his quick temper is absolutely his biggest weakness and he is also trying very hard to get it under control. He rededicated his life to Christ a few months ago and is working very hard to improve and this above anything has helped him.
he has acceptance issues, depression, anxiety, and because of the abuse growning up - he is very quick tongued and defensive. and like you, later feels guilty for things he's said or done. i have seen you post in spiritual so i feel comfortable giving you this advice. don't try to be a people pleaser when it is causing you grief. when you feel the anger or anxiety, just stop right then and pray about it. God is listening and can give you strength. also, atleast for me, that pause, that moment between you and God, is very calming. before you know it, the moment has passed.
wishing you all the best in your efforts to better yourself. it is to be admired.
