Anger Issues

So, is it just me, or is everyone else having anger issues lately too?

I’ve realised that when I get angry or upset, I tend to freak out and become really overwhelmed by my emotions. I’m pretty sure this might have something to do with autism, even though I haven’t been officially diagnosed. I know that some autistic people struggle with emotional regulation, but I’m not 100% sure if that’s what’s happening with me.

I get upset really quickly, especially when someone attacks me personally or says something that hurts me. It’s even harder when it happens with my family, because I seem to get even more emotional, and afterwards, I end up feeling really guilty about how I reacted.

I don’t know if anyone else experiences this, but sometimes it feels like my emotions go from 0 to 100 in seconds, and it’s so hard to calm myself down once I’m upset.

Does anyone else feel this way or struggle with something similar? I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences and knowing I’m not alone in this. Heart️ Thanks!

  • I work in retail, so I get asked a lot of dumb questions on a daily basis. It’s not the best place for me to work because of my own struggles, but at the end of the day, it’s a job. But yeah, I totally get what you’re saying. Most of the time, when I’m in the car with someone and something happens, like someone not indicating or overtaking at high speeds, I’ll immediately think, “What an idiot,” even though I’m not even the one driving. Joy
