Question Tips on controlling anger?

Well I have an extremely short fuse, and my temper has a tendency to get way out of hand.
I don't really do any bodily harm to anyone. Mainly it consists of me in a full fledged rage by taking my anger out on objects.
I'm not sure why I'm so full of rage at times. When I was younger you couldn't get me to lose my temper(well it was extremely rare).
I find it really hard to calm myself down, I'm just furious at the world and can't let that anger go, especially not in the heat of the moment.
Does anyone have any tips on easing the temper? I think I need to just take life so much less seriously. I just get so worked up.

I don't know if I have any good tips or not. I was thinking about anger today and I thought I'd pop over here and see what there was to read.
I handled some anger I had last week by firing one of my Doctors and calling up all the other doctors and getting some thoughts and referals to take my medical condition else where.
After about the second nurse I cried to, I felt better.
Actually, sometimes I get stinkey mad too.
But amazingly, I found that my temper was curiously tied to organic issues.
Not to say that I'm Ms. Mellow head at all times,
but a lot of my bizarre anger >where did that come from!< issues really did get better with medical treatment.
Like my blood sugar.
Oh goodness, don't even make me argue or wait when the ol' blood sugar is rapidly falling.
I am worse than a bad alligator with mood and disposition.
I was a beast.
Then I found out that my blood sugar was falling almost into the coma zone.
Yeh, that'll make ya crankey.
I got my blood sugar under control and I'm much better with out even trying.
I just don't fly off the handle now.
I still can't take much stress.
Not even fun stress. Like runnin around doing
sports stuff and all. But that's just the organic reality that we are trying to fix.
So sometimes maybe it's a mood thing and then other times, maybe we need to get our organic systems checked out.
Just my 2 cents.

danaj, hi i just read your post, and boy did it hit home. here lately, i too, have flown off the deep end over nothing. i can't control it.... the anger and hate just takes over. i want to throw and destroy things. it can be the most simple thing that will get my blood boiling, or the most complicated thing. anymore, it doesn't seem like it matters.... i just lose it. i used to be so mellow, but now i am so angry. i don't know where it came from, why it hit me, how to control it, or hoe to get rid of it. i hate who i've become, i hate how i feel. i act like an insane person who just escaped a looney bin..... i feel totally pathetic at times. it all started a few months ago, i felt the anger building inside me, but i just kept it bottled. i thought it would go away, and one day i just snapped, and have no control over my emotions anymore. i have recently started therapy... my councelor is putting me into anger management. at first i did get ****ed, but deep down i realized she was right, and i do need the classes. my actual therapy starts on the 16th... i am hoping we will find the root of my problem and fix it. i want to be my old self again, i truely hate who and what i've become. i wish you the best and i hope you too find the help you need. its horrible being someone else and not understanding why you are like you are when you never used to be. good luck, and i will keep you in my prayers. God bless!

IamSoAngry- thank you for taking the time to respond and offer help and advice. I appreciate it tremendously I'll reply more when I get the chance, but I just wanted to let you know I just saw your reply and am glad to hear you're doing better. Maybe someday I can get to a point where I can be happy about myself and lack of problem.

Igr36- I know what you mean. Anger is usually used to cover up sadness, or other emotions. Dr Phil taught me that one. Way back, when I was able to watch him on Oprah once a week. Thank you also for your wonderful reply, your points were duly noted.
Thanks everyone for the help!
