Don’t Sweat The Small Stuff

I have noticed that I have a little problem with my temper. I yell, sometimes when somethings in range I might throw it.

People make me angry over the littlest of things. I had gotten so mad at at this one person over tapping his fingers too loud, I began to shake and my heart started beating really fast—This has not happened before. Not only was I irritated but I was scared as well because at that moment I realized that if I keep having these tantrums, I could end up in the hospital or something worse.

Lately I have been trying to be more patient while talking to people— I guess in my efforts I put this look on my face and they automatically end the conversation and walk away. Just like they should of done before they irritated me in the first place. But I still try. I’m nicer now too. I try to smile more and not yell at you from the top of my lungs—I've noticed that I have replaced yelling by discretely telling you what I don’t like about you. I need to stop doing this because I’m thinking after a while I’m gonna get into a few arguments. At least I’m being discrete, right? I also try to be more considering of others—When I’m angry I’ll let you know that I’m angry and I will not care how your day has been , or if your going through anything at the moment.

Basically I’ve been trying not to stress myself out—Just to make sure I don’t give myself a heart attack, or high blood pressure. I spend more time with my family, maybe play a few games on my computer, or draw to calm my nerves. I just need to learn not to sweat the small stuff—Before they mark me down as Bipolar or something crazy like that.
