I can relate on some levels with your situation. When I feel stressed my mind can often fog over and words become difficult to put forth and my memory goes south. I'm a music teacher and this morning as I was teaching I was really having a hard time talking and was thinking this job is not for me and I'm not enjoying this at all. Then later in the day I could communicate much more easily and what I was feeling earlier in the day, which felt very real, seemed completely false. Later in the day the world visually seemed a bit brighter too. I'm not sure I can comment on the emotional aspects of this nor do I think I have any personality problems. It's mostly a cognitive and life perspective problem that doesn't really involve outwardly project anger, although when a student is having a hard time with a concept I either think I'm not a good teacher or I get angry at the student for being, um, stupid. Both are false but seem very real during the 'acute' phase of it as you say.
