It is just that your threshold is too low... meditation is very effective at increasing it (the point at which you get pissed off)

haha 5 kids I think anyone's "threshold" would be low. If you blow up over every little thing, I wouldn't suggest stress management, but maybe anger management.

Josphine5213,
It is very common for diabetics to have elevated anger, as well as mood swings. My question would be, is your blood sugar under control? If your sugar fluctuates at high degrees, you may want to work on that. I know I may be stating the obvious to you but, sometimes we just have to start with the basics.
Five kids can cause stress and stress can cause anger. It sounds like you may have physical stress as well as external things that cause you stress.
Talk to your doctor and see if you can work with him, if needed, and a therapist/counselor or even a stress management/anger management class. Many hospitals provide these sort of resources.
Good luck! You can do it!

Hi josephine5213. Usually, our bad experiences causes us to be angry all the time. It's our way of venting out. You are the only one that knows what really disturbs you and of course, your children or others will not understand it because they don't know what you are angry about. As you can see, anger has its manifestation. People who surrounds you like your children, will oftentimes be the victim of your anger and of course, their initial reaction will also be anger when you are angry with them. To fully understand them, put yourself in their situation like, what if someone is angry with you, aren't you be angry too?

You need to make time for yourself. Some "ME" time.
I totally understand your concerns and why you feel like you do.
It's not surprising with children and running a house.
Takeing just 30 mins a day to sit quietly with a coffee and relax will be a great way for you to clam yourself and thus have more patience with your children.
Hope this helps and things work out sooner rather than later.

I agree with fuell that meditation would help. When you are angry, try to count from 1 to 100, don't burst your temper, try to cool it down.

Where to begin. First having five kids should increase your stress threshold, not lower it. A report on WebMD, about a Cornell University, 30-year study, showed that married women with kids, even lots of kids, were not more stressed. It had nothing to do with kids or money or education at all. The biggest factor in major illness and/or early deaths was generosity. It seems people who are generous towards others have higher oxytocin (bonding and trust hormone) and dopamine (pleasure hormone) levels. These are brain chemicals that help to reduce stress and relieve anxiety. You might want to get out there and start doing some volunteer work with seniors or children or animals (animals are great for stress reduction as well - check out www.therapet.com). Maybe take your son with you.
As for the diabetes, you are not alone. 16 million Americans have Diabetes, 24 million more have pre-clinical Diabetes and 80 million more have Metabolic Syndrome, the precurser to Diabetes (Dr. Strand). 1 out of every 3 children born after 2000 will get Diabetes in his or her lifetime. If you are black, Hispanic or First Nations, the numbers rise to one out of every two.
The single biggest factor in this Diabetes and obesity epidemic is the constant spiking of the blood sugar, which amounts to a daily assault on the body, often several times each day. The amount of oxidative stress (free radical damage) created in the body each time a high-glycemic meal is eaten would shock the average person.
I too, was on my way to being Diabetic and I also had Asthma. I decided to get educated and then I became Certified and now I am an educator but best of all, I no longer have Metabolic Syndrome, I have lost 40 pounds and still counting (bought size 11 clothes the other day) and I have been Asthma free and drug free for almost two years (no steroids).
As for the anger management (I got Bach Flower Remedies). Cherry Plum is great for anger. The emotional eating kit includes Cherry Plum for that feeling of losing control, Chesnut Bud to help learn from past mistakes and Crab Apple is a cleansing remedy for body, mind and spirit. There are 38 remedies in all.
The relationship issues can be helped by the Bach Flower Remedies as well and I just finished watching a video by Mark Gungor (the marriage comedian) and his program called the Tale of Two Brains. Sometimes just having a better understanding of what makes the opposite sex tick can go along way to relieving stress.
You might also want to get yourself some Liquid Trust (oxytocin in a bottle) or Neu BeCalm'd (dopamine and 5 HTP in a bottle). HTP is that feel good hormone in turkey that makes you feel so relaxed after a big turkey dinner. All of these things are naturally occurring hormones in the human body. They are not drugs.
All in all, it sounds like you need a total health and wellness makeover, like I did. There are many solutions available and most would surprise the average person. I am in the process of designing a training program called "Solving the Wellness Challenge" to help with just such a situation.
