does anyone else fly into a rage very easily?

Today has just already been a day that everything in the world is driving me mad literally mad! I get so cranky over everything like being nagged at by my boyfriends four year old daughter that she wants and needs a pizza pocket even though she just ate so I make her the pizza pocket and she doesn't even eat it. I've had a cold for a week and been wanting to go see my Dr my bf assures that I'm fine since the baby's moving I feel like I'm the only one that really wants this baby and cares and worries. I ran out of laundry soap and took a complete mental breakdown and had to "ugly cry" myself back to reality, I don't even want to look at my bf when he gets home because lately just his prescense can make me completely aggravated at him, he seems to only rub my belly and "talk to the baby" when he wants something. Does anyone else have days they feel like this ? If so what do u do to bring yourself back down to the mellow world lol thanks in advance!

"Fly into a rage" is a bit of an extreme way to describe how I've been feeling... but I have definitely noticed that I am more easily annoyed than I usually am, and I'm pretty easily annoyed to begin with. Last night's irritations were my husband waiting to tell me that I needed to make a dish for a potluck until 2 hours before it started (thank God I had brownie mix on hand!) and learning that he's been using my Bath and Body Works shower gel, which is why it's been disappearing at a much faster rate than it usually does... I was MUCH more annoyed about the shower gel thing than I usually would be. I would have been ticked at him over the potluck thing regardless haha - he is a very forgetful man and I knew that going in, but his absentmindedness really grates on my nerves! 

I usually give myself some time to fume - it helps if I'm by myself for this; if DH or whoever it was who set me off is present it just makes me more angry. Then after 10-20 minutes I ask myself if it's something I would usually be upset about. If the answer is yes, then I continue to be mad lol, but if the answer is no (as was the case with the shower gel last night), then I apologize for overreacting and try to distract myself. 

ETA not sure if you're a religious/spiritual person, but I am, and I've also found that saying a quick prayer does wonders for bringing me "back down to the mellow world," as you've put it mine is usually either the serenity prayer (God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference) or as simple as "God, I'm going crazy, help!"

Thanks for the response even just knowing someone else feels the same way helps ! I am also very protective of my bath and body works shower gel lol I just hate not being able to tell what's hormones and what is an appropriate thing to be mad over its frustrating
