Anger is certainly not the only feeling or emotion that we sometimes have difficulty managing--at least those of us that are perhaps a bit more human than Helda. Difficulty dealing with everyday emotions or the occasional time when emotions get out of hand, are usually indications that one is overstressed and would likely benefit from discovering better ways to self manage. At the EAP we often suggest to people that losing a measure of control once in a while is more normal than they may care to admit. In fact, if we are willing to be self-aware, we use those rare times to remind us that it's time to take a break or to re-evaluate our situation, commitments, or priorities.
If you find that those times have become more frequent than is comfortable for you, remember that talking to someone whom you trust (a friend, a family member, your EAP counselor) is one of the best ways to begin to put things back into perspective.
