I’ve posted before about how I’m a yeller, but I’ve gotten a lot better about it more recently, and all I did was this:
Why Am I Yelling? How Do I Stop?
I have a confession. I am extremely easy to irritate. People have asked me why I am such an angry person, and the reality of it is that I am not, however, to get an outward look at myself, I can understand why other people might see me that way sometimes. The truth is that because of my ADHD/ anxiety combination, I am constantly on edge, ready to be set off at the next thing that comes along. Which is, more often than not, something not worth being upset about. I want to talk about that a little bit because I’ve really had to look at the way my anger, and in particular, my inclination to yell when I am angry, has affected my family. It has caused me to take a look at what I might be able to do differently so that I can have the exterior of a calm, in control person, even though I often don’t feel that way on the inside.
