How do i Calm Down?Any Anger Management Tips?

Answer 1

I get mad. You get mad. Your Mom gets mad. Your Dad gets mad. Hey, even God gets mad. Let’s face it, at one time or another EVERYBODY gets mad! Anger is a normal human emotion and it is the way that your subconscious mind releases mental and emotional pressure but sometimes this normal psychological function can run amok and lead you astray. Getting angry is normal, letting anger get the best of you is not. So how do you know if your anger is getting out of control and what can you do about it if you’re raging? Surprisingly enough recognizing and managing anger is relatively easy, here’s how!

Your anger is out of control if…

you find yourself getting angry at everything that inconveniences you, annoys you or otherwise gets in the way of what you want to be doing,
it leads you to act out aggressively or violently as in yelling, ranting, hitting, shoving or plotting revenge,
it consumes you long after the event has passed, if you dwell on the things that make you angry then you’re in trouble because normal anger is only a temporary emotional response to unsettling eternal stimuli,
things that didn’t used to make you angry are suddenly major issues worthy of a rant, this does not apply to times when you have suppressed normal anger only to times that anger really isn’t merited, for example when somebody gets a higher grade than you or when a person is taking too long in the bathroom,
you find yourself doing self destructive things to cope with your angry feelings, such as reckless driving, hazardous recreational activities, physical fighting, drugs and alcohol or, unsafe or random sexual activity.

First off, figure out what is even making you so angry and try to avoid it. If you are just an angry person, I really respect the fact that you are sincerely trying to figure out how to stay calm. I think you should make it a habbit, every day, to do something that will make you feel good by relieving stress. Take a 20 minute brisk walk. Sit down for 10 minutes and think happy thoughts. Every morning, wake up and say "Today I am going to control my anger. I am in control!" I don't think punching things is controling anger, I think it is unleashing it. Tell yourself, and your family and friends, you are really going to do this. That way they know your trying and when others know you are trying they try and help. Just like when smokers are quiting or dieters are dieting...it's best to expose yourself so your friends and family can help. Good luck.

Answer 3

I would go to a psychiatrist. They not only listen to you and help you come up with solutions, but they can prescribe medication. I was put on lexapro about 10 months ago and it has changed my life! I used to fly off the handle, yell, say things I did not mean...it was almost like I stepped out of my own body temporarily. It has helped!
Good luck!

Answer 4

Take three long heavy breathes and take all your anger out in clench fists. Focus on things that make you feel calm.

Don't worry, just don't get physical.

Answer 5

See a physician...I found myself recently being less patient, more agitated, unusually aggressive and angered more frequently than normal. My Doc put me on Lexapro and what a world of difference.

Get a script. There are some good meds, w/out the drugged out feeling. Add counseling, too.
