We all get upset and lose our tempers. Something I've noticed about myself, though, is that I won't get visibly irritated for days or even weeks on end. I stay pretty calm and collected and I fix whatever's doing the irritating (obnoxious small child, pinched nerve in my neck...). Life goes on.
And then some small irrelevent thing that shouldn't cause a problem rears its ugly head and does. Like usually I can handle my mom being obssessive or controlling or whatnot, or my sister tackling me to the ground, or whatever. But something happens and makes this little thing tip the scales.
(usually I'm very good about "anger management". i do martial arts, which is better than therapy anyway... and if i'm feeling like bitching i'll go write in a stor or something)
I guess my question is, do you guys tend to cram feelings (especially negative ones, but positive ones too) into a little box in a corner of your mind, and then they pop out?
