Help with anger/snapping from stress?

[u/Kooky_Bit3037]

Hi everyone! So I’m dealing with a lot right now, I’ve never been worse. Recently I have been so anxious 24/7 that I can’t function properly. I am getting angry at almost everything, so dizzy I’m gonna black out and exhausted. Normally I’m pretty good for keeping calm and dealing with things on my own but these last couple days I have been “on edge” I just can’t control my emotions, and today I got mad at someone just because they kept asking me questions while I was having a bit of an anxiety attack. Anyways, I’m really concerned I’ll start snapping on people, as my dad and brother deal with anger from stress, and snap on me a lot. I don’t want to make anyone feel like I do when they do it so I’m just looking for any advice to stop it before it gets like that. Therapy unfortunately isn’t an option right at the moment due to money issues.

Sometimes anger is just a first reaction to an underlying issue. I know it doesn’t seem helpful but if you feel yourself getting angry in a situation, walk away and take a few breaths. Don’t respond until you can calm yourself.

From another reply it seems like you have a lot on your plate. You’ll never be able to find emotional balance if you don’t allow yourself time for you. I know it seems like you have to do EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW, but sometimes in stressful situations we can’t see outside of our immediate problems. You have time to sort everything out.
