Help.. How can I control my temper

I am seriously over feeling the way I do.. I know my kids are good kids but the little things they do really upsets me so quickly.. Does anyone else feel the same? What did you do to fix it ?

I just decided I wasn't going to do it anymore. I took a deep breath. It took some practice but I got there.
If you have some underlying anxiety/depression get that treated as that will help.

I go to sleep saying to myself I won't let anything get to me no more.. But I wake up and doesn't matter how hard I try it just seems to over take my thoughts.. Yes I do believe I have some underlining issue with my mental health but I also need tips n tactics to not let it get to me. I don't want to be medicated.. I have seen too many people turn into zombies n I don't want that for myself.. Or my kids..

There are plenty of treatments that aren't taking tablets. Like seeing a psychologist who can help train you in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness etc there are plenty of techniques but a professional can help you find the ones that work best for you.
They can help you identify your triggers and work through a plan to suit you and those.

PS I have taken meds and I'm not a zombie, I was a zombie when I was so deeply depressed It was like walking through an extremely thick fog. But there are other options than meds as I said above.

I could have written this a month ago, i had a toxic relationship with my daughters father we werent together just spending too much time together but when i put and end to him coming to my house most of my anxiety had gone. Maybe there is something in your life that isnt good for you and causing your anger?
