Shay, I understand that feeling oh so well, and I've come to understand exactly what sqrlb8 was saying. When I do act out in anger, I usually hurt someone and feel worse for my actions. Then comes the fight to hold backl the tears. When I do as sqrl advises (which isn't often as I get so lost in the moment), the breathing for a few seconds calms my head and clears my vision. Then I am able to say what's on my mind in a constructive manner. Sure, it may sting a little for someone else to know that I am upset with them, but that's the way of life. It's better than me snapping, being a Billy Bad ***, and trying to laugh off the way I feel after. Just my experiences.
