Watch Out, I'm Having a Bad Day

[Mirage]

I don't actually have bad days. Usually, I just have bad hours. I tend to not stay in a bad mood for a long time. I do get really grumpy and negative to everything and everyone while it's going on, though.

I become far more cynical, and my sarcasm seeps from everything i say. I dont tend to stay mad though, and even something small can cheer me up, usually a bit of meditation and quiet fixes me up good.
Whenever im mad its usually because im hungry tired or anxious, so i always know what i need to do to cheer up

I will also have the conversation with myself and pretend to be both sides of the party. Someone else mentioned it. So maybe I sound crazy too, but it helps me:

A)Think of all the things I want to say, and helps me form them into an understandable message.

B)Helps me play out the scenario in my head so that I can approach it more anger free, because I've already vented.

C)Helps me see things from the other side by pretending to be the other person. I think that's really important.

I'm usually very calm and a good listener, but there's a few people who can make me angry. Then when I'm having a bad day, I'm a terrible listener, I anger to easily and they don't deserve it. Fortunately there aren't many people that have to see that side, but it's still something that I am trying to fix.

It depends how angry I am. If I'm just angry I'll be slightly impatient and less engaging in conversation. It'll be a lot of "Uh huh, yeah, okay, right, I see." If I'm really angry I can be snappy, although I'm trying to work on that and I have seen an improvement. When I get really angry if I can vent and talk about it, I can usually acknowledge what's going on and put my feelings aside until the anger dies down, but when I feel like I can't talk to the person without making the situation worse, I get very emotional and resentful and I hold on to it for longer than I should. It turns into my thinking "I should be able to say what you did to upset me so we can move past it, but I can't because you'll just bitch or deny it or whatever, so now I have to hold it in." When that happens I get very rude and say things I shouldn't, I can no longer approach something calmly, and I might start yelling. If it gets bad enough I'll also start crying. Basically I'm just a big ball of emotion, but I'm trying to work on keeping myself calmer in these situations.

I rarely have bad days, generally speaking I'm someone who firmly believes in seeing the bright side of life. Even when everyone else around me is sad I'm the one generally trying to keep the mood light with jokes and brevity. In the rare instances when I'm genuinely down/upset/having a bad day? I get snarky and sarcastic, more so than usual, in fact I can be outright mean to everyone and about anything, not proud but I once got so pissed off at work in my old job I made a temp under my command cry, when they went to a manager it was like "well Steve, why was you so hard on them?" and my reply made my boss laugh "Because I've smurfing repeated myself to the point where even I a man of infinite patience and limitless good will think the person needs a smurfing slap!"
