Rapid negative mood from misinterpretation of conversations

NAS64242

Any tips on what to do if you suddenly get angry because of what (you think) someone has said?

I find it very difficult to notice / stop when I am in this spiral, until after the event, when I have said something that escalates the situation.

I have noticed that the key symptom / precursor is that my teeth clench (involuntarily), but by then I have pretty much gone down the rabbit hole.

This is an endlessly recurring process that has a highly negative effect on relationships.

Thanks

    Write out the problem.

    Talk to an objective associate.

    Read a very old diary entry where a similar response happened to see how the emotional storms will be just left in their time unmarked if left alone.
