I honestly have almost no temper...unless I’m extremely manic and then I rage. That kind of rage doesn’t even always happen when I’m manic though. In fact, it hasn’t happened in years. When it does happen, it does scare me. The last time it happened, my oldest was about 3 and the kids drove me into a rage and so I went to the basement and banged my head against the wall repeatedly. While I didn’t take it out on them, it was so dangerous and I fear I could one day take it out on them.

Other people being mad at me...makes me very sad. I hate it and it usually makes me cry, even if it’s irrational. The exception to that (probably obviously) is my kids getting mad at me.
