When it comes to hot tempers & irritability , it comes down to either stress or just your personality. Since it’s coming as such a surprise to you, I think the lashing out is just circumstantial to perhaps other difficulties you’ve been experiencing? For instance, I was going through a truly rocky time when I lost some loved ones. At first, I was literally enraged. Though I never got to the point of physical violence, I would lash out at anyone and everyone for no particular reason; I labeled almost everything as stupid, and I wouldn't tolerate it. Seriously, even huge, bulky guys felt intimidated by me. Later, my petulance came to the point where I don’t even need to express anger physically, all I need to do is calmly say very terrible things to a victim during a bad mood of mine. The anger had become a part of my personality so I didn’t even feel like a jerk afterwards. I don’t really believe in counseling or therapy, but I how got through it is through major self-control, careful consideration of others, & communication. I can’t say that I’m necessarily the mildest person now, but I'm nothing like the monster I used to be, that's for sure.
As for you, I don’t think it’s severe since everyone reacts that way to nagging mothers at one point or another. I think it’s a good thing that you feel guilty afterwards, though; it shows that you’re still aware of what you’re doing. The first step you should take is really force yourself to think back about all the things you said but didn’t really mean. Next, just pinch yourself and make yourself think before you talk. Also, I think venting your problems to a friend or a diary always helps. I’ve experienced this myself, so you can always send me message if you’d like. This was a really long ramble, but I hope it’s at least minimal help. 
wow. maybe you're right. i must stop this....arghs! lol thanks for the headsup!

LIZ! i'm suprised! u seem like a nice complacent person!
anyways, i had a lot of anger issues in highschool (fights and such), and in iraq, just because i was so depressed. the most important thing to do is to identify the source of ur stress and anger. once u can realize the source, u wont be so short fused with ur mom. what i did was just sit down and write in a little book when, why, and who i got really upset with. when i got back, i wanted to seek help because i wanted to avoid PTSD (Post traumatic stress disorder), and they said that because i kept a little diary, i avoided PTSD. they reccomended that when a person gets mad and channels it at another person, the best thing to do is to find a new outlet, sports, video games, hobbies, etc... until u can positively identify and control the anger.l
i hope this helps, and know that i'm praying for u! ur relationship with ur mother is very important. my mother and lil sis took care of trini for me while i was in iraq and i couldnt have done it with out them! think about all the good things and sacrifices that ur mother made for u, and that will help u to not be mad with her.
GOOD LUCK!
ps. ur mother has probably noticed that u've been upset with her, and might think its her fault... this mother's day, try to do something to really make her day. or just look at her and say, "mom, i'm sorry i've been so mean to you, just know that its not ur fault. i love u and ur the best mom in the world. thanks for everything u've done for me, i'll never forget all the sacrifices. i love u mom!" >then give her a big hug, it helps if ur crying too... lol<
James! haha yeah...you didn't expect me to be such a mean person but i dunnoo...lately, i've been gettting worse and worse. thank you for your advice...maybe i should write in a book or something. i just have to find my 'source' now lol ~~ i guess my life is so overwhelming right now....but of course my life cannot beat the hardships and pain you went through. i'll pray for you and you pray for me!

haha & yeah, i went out to the city today and actually bought my mom a mothers day card on my way backkk. that's a good start i guess ~~~
thanks for the heads up james! say hi to trini for me

she's tooooo cute ah!!!
