Gidday everyone, I have made good progress in the last 12 months or more. I was very pleased. However, a couple of weeks ago I absolutely blew my stack. Before I knew it I was furious and shouting at some guy over a minor issue. I had felt the pressure growing inside me. What changed? I’m visiting my elderly parents in the UK. My concerns? Have I blown up years of painful progress and how to avoid another out-of-control emotional outburst?

Hey @greglloyd28, thanks for sharing your experiences with the community!
Sounds like you are going through a tough time at the moment and have concerns about how you might react. It's really brave of you to be open and vulnerable with the community as it's not easy to share our challenges.
I can really relate as something similar happened to me with a family member which was totally out of character for me. It really knock me for about 4 months until I found some normality in how I was feeling and thought about myself. I did get a bit extra support at the time and really focused on my work and connecting with my close friends.
I encourage you to continue to reach out to the community and share your thoughts with your peers. I'm sure they will have some insights to share with you too!
Take care
