I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to deal with emotional outbursts? I go from 0 to 100 in a blink of an eye every time I am challenged by someone or things don't go my way. I am very quick to anger and I end up crying a lot of the time. I feel like I am constantly fighting with people and overreacting. It has affected my life in so many ways. I wasn't allowed to go to my sister's wedding because they were afraid of me having an outburst and most recently I have been summoned to court as my neighbour is trying to get a peace bond issued to me for an argument we had. I often feel like people are picking on me.
The other side of me is that I am an elementary school teacher and basketball coach. I am really good at my job and have won many teaching awards and have coached our basketball teams to several regional finals. I put my heart and soul into my teaching and I believe that I make a real difference.
I am great with kids but can't seem to hold it together around adults.
Any suggestions to help with this?
I have ADHD and depression and I have been taking Dexedrine and Prozac daily for several years.
Thank you.
