Anger at Grandma

My grandmother lives with me. I love my grandma, don't get me wrong, but constantly living with... isn't really an ideal situation for me. Many times, I find that she is the cause of many of my anger outbursts. She nags and won't stop talking sometimes. "Eat this." "You're too fat." "Why do you have to sit in that chair?" These are constant things that she says and it goes on forever. You tell her you want silence and she still keeps going. I know she's lonely, because she's home for almost the entire day, but doesn't she realize that at times, especially after school, I want peace. I want to think to myself. I don't want to deal with anybody else talking, because I just spent the entire day surrounded by people?
Well, today, she was butting into conversation as she always does. She went on talking about things she didn't even understand, but she thought she did. So, I just snapped and I was yelling. "Who was talking to you?" "Why do you always have to give your opinions? Haven't you realized that no one really cares what you say at times?" I couldn't help it. All these thoughts came through my head and I had to yell. It was almost like an impulse.
I tried to take deep breaths. That didn't seem to help me. My mom intervened and gave me some great advice. JUST WALK AWAY!!!!!!! That's what I need to do more often. If I see myself in a situation where I feel like I will burst, I should just remove myself and just WALK AWAY. Thanks mom. That was GREATTTTTT advice!!!!
Oh, and even after I left, my grandma was still yapping about some other random stuff.
