Anger management help

Tweet

I've been finding it hard nowadays to control my temper. Just the other day I really got angry at someone because she was taunting me. Okay its a bit childish anyway. I was standing behind a counter and she suddenly knocked her knee on the inside of my knee. I don't know what to call that, but I really lost my balance. You know the panicky feeling when you know you're about to fall flat on your face? I got that feeling. Anyway the first few times she did that I ignored it. The other day, I really lost it. I thought "Come on, what are we second grade? Practical jokes are after all for kids or some body with a really lame sense of humor." Any way I went on and ranted. That afternoon she did it again. I was really seething, obviously angry but all I got was a half meant sorry, more of a mumble. So how do you control your anger in situations like this? I feel like I'm at the end of my rope. She's a dear friend and at other times she's been great. But I don't like practical jokes and I don't want to end up shouting and ranting again and again.
