Stress overcomes everyone occasionally. Resist climbing on someone else's back when it happens, more especially when that person is a lover, a friend, or a relative who had little or nothing to do with the stressor. It's tempting to transfer anxiety or bad feelings and may relieve some immediate pressure -- while having seriously hurtful impact on that other person. It is absolutely NOT worth it.
Just be alone with your urge to vent for a moment or two - take some time and consider the options you have -- take a walk, a quiet bath or quick shower; play some music you like, eat something delicious, make a cup of tea. None of those activities will necessitate trying to repair damaged feelings later.
Most volatile situations are subject to resolution . . . sit down and list one or two possible solutions. No problem improves in the midst of an angry tirade. Credibility is a key issue when we want to be taken seriously; projecting unreasoning anger will do away with this attribute quickly.
