I feel so much mental stress about things that not really happened. Like if some one talked a little harsh, I will think a whole story of disputes with this person which end up on some disaster. I am loose tempered, become angry on little things and fight with my family and friends on minor subjects.
I like to overcome all this situation and take things in more polite way and behave in a good manner.Hope that somebody will help me to get out of this situation. Thanks

I will add that I took rest, vacations and am physically all right. Moreover there is no direct or prominent cause of this situation, to whom I can link thses feelings.

Without having any link with ill health and other reasons people used to behave like you. My father (63 years old) and father-in-law(73 years old) are such type of persons. Their stories are similar to you. Both of them are suffering from High blood pressure and heart related problems. Doctors assumed that their behavior might have played a great role to this state of health. So, they are trying their best to change themselves as well as diet and going to counselor.

Some of the tips are: when you are angry don't listen to your heart, do some other things like watching TV, browsing the net, or anything. Think about the event later on. Judge it from that person's point of view, learn to forgive and forget, you may write down whatever you want to speak to that person and then throw it away. At the time of rage drink glasses of cool water, wash your face, hand and feet, you may take a bath too.

I talk to myself every night, judge my behavior and promise to change the negative ones. We are not perfect but we have a great power and that is "the WILL POWER". If you wish you can do anything. This power of our ancestors helped them to build civilizations after civilizations, that's why, we are here. Why will you leave behind? Look, you already have started to change yourself.....

Actually - I wonder if you are having signs of BiPolar syndrome or panic attacks.

I know when I am in the middle of a panic attack (which is part of my Bipolar condition) I often feel very paraniod about what people around me are saying. I often make up little scenarios in my head about what they are talking about - and depending on which cycle I am on in the Bipolar (up= anger, down= depression) I can get very belligerent and defensive sometimes. It is often my family (poor hubby in particular) that I take this out on.

It might be worth it for you to see a therapist or counselor. They can at least help you work through these feelings of paranoia and anger. And if there is anything more serious going on (like Bipolar or Depression) then they can help diagnose it and send you on to the appropriate doctor.

It doesn't sound like a panic attack Michelle, the most fear a human body can take. I've had my share and this sounds more like anger instead of fear don't you think, perhaps Librianfriend should visit a GP and tell him/her how you're feeling.

Everyone face lot of demands in their life that cause stress. When I have faced lot of problems because of stress my friend advised me to go for Hypnotheraphy. They provided a good and effective solution or stress management to reduce my stress through Hypnosis and NLP techniques. Now I got a good ability to control my stress with confidence.

Its really an tough situation. I too faced these problems but after trying hypnosis and hypnotheraphy They helped me to be relax and reduced my stress. and Now I am able control my angry on others.

Good discussion.Thanks for sharing various experience and solutions to reduce stress. Most of the people of the are suffering because stress caused in different situation. When I have suffered because of stress and depression I have tried hypnosis. I got such a good relief from stress and depression through various hypnosis and hypnotherapy techniques. After trying hypnosis I found a good improvement in my self confidence and self control...

I imagine there are a lot of reasons a person can have a "short trigger". I know for example that when I am having my period that I can become very snappy and it almost feels like it is out of my control. I can feel this great snappiness welling up inside me and I have no idea where it is coming from. It is the hormones creating that groundswell, which I have to actively calm and quiet.

It is definitely possible to do. One of the keys is to learn your triggers. Could it be hormones? Could it be other chemical imbalances?
