also.
i'm developing my own process for getting over my temper issues. the first step, i've found, is to do away with any euphemistic treatment of the matter. calling it "temper issues" or "short fuse" puts a cartoon face on it, that can be chuckled at and moved away from. and it is a much deeper and far less transient issue.
i'm incorporating elements from existing programs (/pogroms?) to try and relax the hell down. breathing exercises, meditation, introspection, frequent apologies. i would like people to point out when i'm being unreasonable, excitable, or exaggerating. my old policy of burn bridges now, swim later, is no longer appropriate. it's time to man up, calm down, react slowly with tact and grace, and rely more on my intelligence and less on my wit.
i'm sorry if i offended anyone, i promise i'm trying harder.
