Test of Patience

Patience...Not one of my strengths it turns out and I must say I am annoyed by my lack of patience as it is making my life difficult! I have noticed today that God is testing me with patience but not patience on waiting for something but instead patience with people and unfortunately someone that is part of my new family (Big B). I don't know exactly how I am going to overcome my annoyance and frustration but I have to come up with a plan. Since I have moved to Canada to be with my husband I can't work yet but some alternatives would be volunteering at the Masjid and the animal shelter since I don't have my precious cat with me (She wouldn't like the cold weather). I find myself upset, frustrated, annoyed, and plain out angry. I can't stay this way or else it will effect me tremendously so I need to do something! I have been reflecting on how I have become as a person and how much I have changed which is probably why I am getting frustrated. I no longer tolerate people that are not kind or patience with others and I hate it when people accuse others instead of doing what a Muslim should do and excuse them as much as possible. I am exhausted now and still can't sleep from my anger plus the extra cup of coffee that I had too late, Oopsie. I am hoping that Allah will forgive me for my shortcomings during my time of struggle and guide me to find the strength to be more patience and become a better person as a result. Ya Allah, I need your love and mercy at this time of difficulty. Insha'allah I will come out of this a more patient and understanding person.
P.S. My main problem is also that I OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). Well, self diagnosed at least and I am obsessed hence the word in having everything in place and once someone ruins my system I loose it and become angry. Can anyone advise me on what could help me control myself or not get so upset? It would make my life so much easier so please do!
