How do I control my anger issues?

Advice/Help

I feel like I’ve become way too sensitive and short-tempered lately. I get irritated over the smallest things and snap at my mom and even my friends.

I’m stressed about not having a job, and I end up taking that frustration out on my mom. I feel horrible afterwards because she doesn’t deserve it. At the same time, some of her comments about my looks really trigger me.

My mom thinks I should see a psychologist. Has therapy actually helped anyone with anger issues? Or is there something else that worked for you?

I genuinely want to change before I push away the people I love.
