Does anyone know what causes one to be short fused and short tempered. Like snap easily. I feel I might have anger problems. And I’m unsure where to start.

DBT is really good for emotional regulation. If you can’t get into doing DBT where you get your mental health treatment there are books on it.

I am very quick to anger and have little fits all the time.
It’s embarrassing.
It’s gotten better with age,
But I still have to be on guard all the time.

I feel I have also got better with age too. But it still seems to be a bit of a issue.

Fish oil supplements might help some people with that.
If you have enmity (a word I like meaning deep seated unfriendliness )or wrath I’d say maybe take a look at your life and resentments and if you blame others for your problems.
I’m not saying this is necessarily the case just cause you say you have anger issues, but it is the case that people with Asperger’s or autism can have anger issues or problems with self expression which might lead to something like that.
Idk if you’ve ever been assessed for asd but it’s one possibility. There’s online tests to get ya started if you want to see.

Recently I’ve found that off meds, I’m a fuucking nightmare.
Very irritable, hair-trigger anger, agitated, and all over the place emotionally.
It’s my 3rd day back on 5mg Abilify to titrate up, and I’m probably still an assh0le, but getting a bit better I hope.

I’ve been a moody butthole lately. I’m really working on it through therapy, because I’ve noticed before anyone said anything to me they’d add a disclaimer like “now this is just a suggestion, don’t get upset,” or “now don’t get mad…”

Glad you’re back on it and doing well! Don’t be so hard on yourself! Your not mean just in torment.
If you ask someone who’s sipping margaritas on the beach how they are theyll probably be quite friendly.
If you ask someone who’s on a torture rack they’ll probably scream get me the hell outa here!
It’s easy to be kind when things are all sunny. What shows a good person is someone who can be kind even in torment, and I think you’re doing a great job at that
