temper much?

I find that I am losing my temper a lot. I shout and get frustrated easily and quickly. I have been doing better but are there any suggestions on how to keep calm and relaxed throughout my day? What do you guys do to keep your cool? Anyone else have this problem too?

    I find my temper is part of my anxiety issues - I try to walk away from the situation if I can. I find a few minutes by myself to compose myself and calm down helps a lot.

    I had problems with this too, until I finally got on Celexa for pp depression when DD was 7 months.  The medicine seemed to really help calm me down.  Also, I have found that any time I am hungry AND tired, I get extremely irritable and lose my cool.  So I try to eat small amounts all day long to stay calm....an apple, a bowl of cereal, some crackers...ya know, I try to keep it healthy. It really does help.  GL!

    I feel the same way. There are days (like today) where I feel like I can't handle it anymore. I have a 5 year old daughter who doesn't respect me at all and I'm pregnant with my second child, also a girl, and I'm due in 3 weeks. I always feel sooo overwhelmed and like I'm alone even though my husband is around and helps sometimes. He just doesn't understand how being pregnant takes so much out of me. I would love any advice that anyone has. Thanks.
