Hi Geri.
I bet you are one of those people who love to help others.
Part of independence for me is my ability to do for othersas well as myself.
After Hurricane Katrina, I had to learn to become a good receiver.
I didn't ask for Katrina and I didn't ask for Lyme and company.
While these two events had me down and out, I learned from each.
One thing I learned is that the good feeling I
Always got from doing nice things for others,
Was something I was cheating someone else out of if I refused their help.
Does that make sense?
Try to give it up and try to be a good receiver.
Just so that you don't stop someone else from that wonderful feeling.
I had to learn to laugh at my mistakes.
I didn't always succeed, but I tried really hard.
When I needed help, I learned to accept it.
I was so grateful it was offered.
Hope for better days for you.
When you get to the the independent person again.
It will come.
Hang in there.
Hugs,
Geneal

Are you getting enough good sleep and rest during the day, too. ?
Maybe you need some way to move the anger. I actually think temper tantrums are (sometimes) just a nervous system that is overloaded and trying to shake it off.
I stumbled upon this article the other day and he talks about this sort of thing. It's hard to read the way it's all squished together so I hope you can at least enlarge the type.
