I seem to be having a problem with my temper lately. I have yelled at a couple of people recently. I don't even like myself when I act like this. I would appreciate your prayers as I work to get control of my temper and respect others even when I am upset. I feel like I have blown it lately

Will keep you in prayer.

Serious question - are you getting enough sleep? I find when I'm over tired I'm more likely to vent at people. I'm better at keeping it under control than I used to be but still find I'm less tolerant if I'm tired.

Another thing I've found is that if my electrolytes get out of balance I get grumpy. By chance I noticed that a particular drink I enjoyed improved things, so I figured out what it was and tried taking on more of it when I felt grumpy and it seemed to work. I also use electrolyte tablets if I've been out in the sun, to replace salts as well as fluids - if I lose electrolytes I find I'm more likely to get one or both of headaches and grumpiness. Talk to your doctor before messing with specific electrolytes because you can harm yourself if you get the numbers wrong (for example potassium is important to have in appropriate quantities, but potassium chloride is one of the drugs used in lethal injections, as an overdose of potassium can cause a myocardial infarction)

My sleep is pretty good lately. I have sleep apnea and use a cpap machine, but my numbers have been good with that. I cannot sleep without my machine as I feel like I am choking.
When my blood sugar is high I feel very irritable. Sometimes it has been lately, but other times it has not been. When I lost it the other day and raised my voice my blood sugar was fine, so I can't blame it on that.
