Oh, sweetie, it happens. (But, just for the record, I don’t think you’re b*tchy in the least.)
How to cope with pent-up anger?
—Give yourself the right to be angry.
—Exercise. Not a walk around the block, but the kind of vigorous activity that breaks a sweat, boosts your heartbeat, and leaves you winded.
—An organizing project. Pull everything out of your messy underwear drawer, discard the worn and frayed items, and put everything back nicely. Tackle your refrigerator by discarding all the old, crusted stuff and scrubbing each surface with a disinfecting wipe. Put some order to your gift-wrapping supplies. Reconcile your #$#%-ing checkbook.
—Write tell-all, accusatory letters that you’ll never mail.
—Love nature. Go outdoors on a gorgeous, sunny morning, before the day’s craziness has started, and devour all that wonderful, fresh-smelling air. Stand by your window during a heavy rainstorm and love how the water sounds as it forcefully hits every surface.
—The next time you shower or take a bath, shave your legs all the way to the top, care for the rough spots on your elbows and feet, and use your favorite hair conditioner. After you’re dried-off, smear some marvelous body lotion all over yourself.
