Short temper
My emotions were all over the place for the first six months or so. Especially rage. I still have some anger issues but they're getting better.
For a long time I deadened my emotions with alcohol. I also stunted my emotional maturity so didn't learn to cope with difficult situations or minor annoyances without alcohol. Learning how to do that takes time and practice. So until we learn that stuff we are uncomfortable and explode. Give it time. I find the serenity prayer helped a lot. A gratitude list helped too. Hate, hate being stuck in traffic for work but I'm grateful I have a job. That kind of stuff.
Hang in there. It's normal. Take ten and breathe before responding when you get angry
