You didn't somehow state what was it that got you mad..Anyway,If your fight is with your husband, excuse yourself saying it in a mildly manner and go somewhere where you're not both in one room. If you're mad at Something- try counting 1 up to 20 while breathing in and out. This way, you're somehow releasing some of the pressure that's building up in your chest and brain.If that doesn't work, tell yourself many times that it will only cause you wrinkles and unsightly lines in the forehead..lol..When I'm getting mad, whether with a person or things, I sit down, stop whatever I'm doing and just breathe deeply. I don't care how many numbers I'm counting, just so long I feel that my nerves are settling down. Then, I can face my anger..And when I'm up for it, I slowly start talking so as not to trigger anything my anger left behind..

You should really be patient..as a saying goes "Patience is a virtue". It's not good to be always mad all the time, you may not know you're hurting other people around you or people close to you with that attitude..think first before you "blow" something, u know, what u were mad of,or whom u were mad of,.Ask yourself Y I'm Mad? then just be patient..
