How can I stop yelling?

I try really hard to keep repeating but end up yelling and I feel so bad. I apologize and say I shouldn’t have gotten mad but it still happens. I found out I’m pregnant again which means I have to stop smoking and I’m afraid I will be even more unstable. Not less remorseful just bitchy and then guilty. I know I use it as a stress reducer, and it’s not good. I have headphones to minimize the noise not blocking it out. I want to try ashwaganda, I do repeat myself a lot before I get to the point of snapping but it happens 😢 please tips

I tell myself like a mantra that if my emotions can control me then anything and anyone can control me. And since I’m strong and a bad bi*ch I should not let that happen 😄So if I snap and yell, I’m weak and easy to control. And I don’t want to be that. That’s my tip of the day 😌

@Olga I love this tip Olga!

@Tiani so glad it was helpful 🤗

I go walking twice daily and I get my mood to stay more normal I also shut down on purpose when I'm upset and take a minute to ask myself if what I'm upset about will be solved by venting aggressively and if it will even matter in 5 years and if I would respect a stranger if I saw them yelling about something similar and after I've answered those questions in my mind to myself I've generally calmed down more I used to be a very very angry person but over time I recognized my anger was coming from deep emotional hurts and I was not healing and lashing out at others and the problem was me not the little things that went wrong here or there I'm responsible for my behavior nobody else is

Try to seek therapy. Most universities have students who volunteer as part of their degree completion. Even some CBT books can help.

We all go through seasons of reaching that point. The source is often a lack of something- sleep, self care, stillness/ alone time. You always wanna pour from the overflow so that you never run thin. 😘

I have gotten like that with now both of my pregnancies and this one I could feel that I was getting that way and getting bad and I talk to my OB and he put me on a medication and it’s pregnancy safe and it helps the nerves so much!! Zoloft it’s completely pregnancy safe and also a good help with after you have the baby and if your at risk for ppd! Idk if it helps but know that how you feel is valid and you are strong! It’s hard being a mom and some of us don’t have as much help as most so it’s easier for us to loose our sh**!
