I have one tip to share which helps with that “angry snapping” point – usually when I feel that outburst of anger, my body is tense, I am frowning and feel like screaming. So body does give out signal that “okay I am about to blast” I wonder if that happens to you too when the outburst is about to happen.

When this does come about, what I do is retreat from the situation into a calmner surrounding before I say something, or do something that I will regret later.

When retreating is not an option, I clench my mouth shut, take a breath in and force myself to count to 20 backward mentally.

Then of course, the main question comes which always helps “will being this angry help?” And more importantly “what am I really pissed about?”

Some days when the hormonal mood swings happen, I usually keep some distance and take on less stress in order to avoid snapping at people unnecessarily.
