Hey Sarah thats a lot of stuff you got going on there. Stick with the confidence subliminal. I know its hard, I've been there and a lot of other guys on this forum have too. I have thought of quitting, but I've been a quitter all my life and this is the one thing I want bad. You picked up the subliminal because you want confidence, so don't let a little emotional trouble sabotage your efforts of improving yourself.
I, like you, worry all the time. I'm still learning to manage my mind and its a constant learning process. So I'll give you a little advice that has helped me. It is very simple, but don't overestimate the effectiveness of it. Relax your whole body and breathe from your belly. Just be aware of your breathing, let everything be and don't resist. Look up Vipassana breathing meditation. When you are relaxed and focused on your breathing your thoughts stop and you lose your attachment to them. You may still have anger in you, but anger will not control you. The next time you feel an emotional outburst coming along remember to just relax and breathe.
It was OK that those emotions happened. Don't condemn yourself for having those outbursts. You are human, and nobody is perfect. Just understand that it is repressed feelings coming up and they will pass. It is not the end of the world, even though it does feel like it. Relax and breathe, focus on your studies, tomorrow is another day. Don't put so much pressure on yourself.
