Keeping it down - Anger Management Message Board

unknowntoall · 08-12-2005, 06:28 AM

Sometimes I get angry for no reason. I have never "lost my cool" in situations, I have kept myself under control thus far. But I am afraid someday someone is going to press the wrong button and I will explode. It has been becoming worst in the past few months. I have always kept my anger hidden, and I know that is not a good thing, but now it is at the point where I can't just let a little out if I let any out at all. I will explode. Everyone in my family sees a little flare in me they say I keep hidden...I don't want the flare to become a fire. I want to know if anyone has any suggestions as to what I should do about keeping control.

I really don't know how to help with " suddenly being angry over absolutely nothing "... but I just suggest that you try to calm down, think good thoughts, and just simply think things over... believe me, if you let go, and think happier thoughts, you'll have a better life. You won't be depressed, or angry anymore, which will feel great... That probably didn't help, so uh, good luck...

I had a big anger problem in high school and college, i was the school nut. I'm pretty sure you are angry at something and just cna't express it. I've had anger towards alot of things and people and until i found out the root of my true anger it never got better. You need to discuss this things with a professional or close friend becuase trust me before you know it you will regret yuor actions based on your anger

Good luck

I believe anger shows no matter how hard you think you hide it. Have you ever disagreed with anyone in a rational debatable way. There's nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone but anger is only the fear of the unknown. People get angry when they fear something. You mentioned your family. Do they let you disagree or does it have to be their way? Are you afraid if you say something against the norm of your upbringing they will get angry, so you don't say anyhting to keep the peace? Next time you get angry,go into a quiet place where you can think and ask yourself why? What, in that situation, triggered you get get angry. Until you realize and deal with the source of anger, you can't control it. Best of life...

Some form of intense exercise might at least release some of the steam. Buy a punching bag, or take up raquetball or something.

A lot of people learn to let go of stress with things like yoga or meditation.

This stuff won't prevent you from getting angry, but it would provide you with a harmless way of dealing with it.
