Anger and anxiety?

I may be way off base here, but has anyone experienced irrational anger after an anxiety period?

Part of my work is to give lectures. Iīm just getting over dealing with major anxiety in my life - buying real estate, death in the family and a stressful journey. Iīve noticed I get incredibly angry when itīs not appropriate - and I do practice anger management and positive affirmations. It is normally so calming.

Just now my idea of a lecture was rejected in favour of someone elseīs, but I was asked to do a ten minute bit. My instinct was to refuse and point out how unfair this was, which I didnīt do, thank God. I accepted calmly. Then I did some anger management and was astounded by the negative thoughts I have. I couldnīt finish, and now my anxiety has returned.

Part of me - a big part - wants to do an incredibly silly thing which would ruin my career and leave me friendless: Make trouble. I hope I can let go and do the thing like a responsible person.

Any input would be great.

Love and light,
