When I Feel Mad

I think more and more about being mad, and think it comes from being scared I will lose something, like my life or my freedom. But getting back at people doesn't work, so from now on when I get mad, I plan to breathe deep breaths if possible, walk away to let the feeling settle. If I wait long enough, I'll get a good idea with my brain about what to do about my feeling, instead of taking an action that makes the problem worse.
