Illhaze,
It sounds like you are going through the "normal" up and down mood swings of getting sober.
I am just over 4 months sober myself and the moods are beginning to settle down.
What I really hate now is when I do get angry and have an outburst I feel awful afterwards but even these feelings are beginning to subside as I am learning from them and not just purely reacting to what is going on around me. It is hard to just stop feeling irritated just because you know you shouldn't , so try and distract or step away from the irritation, deep breathing, chanting the serenity prayer, whatever works for you. Later you will be so glad you didn't overeact. and have to apologise, feel guilty and so on.

Keep hanging in there you can do it.

All the best
