I dislike my anger spikes

I’ve been dealing with issues with my anger and I’m trying to understand it better because it’s starting to affect my relationship and how I act in the moment. When small things happen, like misunderstandings with my girlfriend or even something simple like getting the wrong order at Popeyes, I notice I get irritated very fast and my body feels like it goes into a heated state where I struggle to calm down right away. In a recent argument with my girlfriend, there was a misunderstanding about something I said, and it escalated quickly. I ended up using disrespectful language and withdrawing from the situation because I felt overwhelmed and angry, even though I didn’t want things to go that far. After situations like that, I don’t feel good about how I reacted and I don’t like that I lose control of my tone and emotions in the moment. I do not like being angry at all but I can’t keep it away from me and it’s irritating.
I want to be clear that I love my girlfriend more than I can properly show sometimes, but my anger gets in the way of how I express myself and it causes unnecessary conflict between us. I try very hard not to get mad and I don’t like feeling angry at all, but when it hits, I struggle to control it in the moment even though I don’t want to react that way. I’m looking for help and advice on how to better manage my emotions before they escalate because I don’t want to lose my relationship or hurt the people I care about due to my reactions.
