Answer 1

OK, Pamela,

There is no overnight solution but with Daily effort using some tecniques, you choose, They will slowly disappear.
Forgiving yourself is probably your largest problem, that you don't even realise you have to do. This one is a priority & being kind to yourself also a sweet thing you should have to do because your worth it. If it's hard to do.... Slowly ...Slowley wins the race.
I think you may need to see a person who deals with this type of thing your experiencing. Anglicare have a free service, with physcologists that I would highly recomend.
Also you may want to see a preacher from a churh you may have beliefs in because there must be alot of unforgiveness there, & you really have to start forgiving those people whom have hurt you, done you wrong & made you feel small.
& never be afraid to cry. It' medicine- just like laughter!

Be kind to yourself write now & if you can, have a bubble bath, with your favourite music playing & a couple of glasses of wine!
May you start your journey to freedom now, relaxing in a boat on a beautiful river, with a tail breeze behind you & only good things ahead!
Kind Regards,

Wow, what you are going through is mind boggling. I went through that until I was 55. I finally found a doctor who was highly educated with medications. This man was sent from God, THERE IS NO DOUBT!
You are more fortunate today because there are more doctors available in the field of medications. My doctor had problems as a psychiatrist and works in a mental health Felicity. There are shrinks who have been disbarred unjustly. Some are wonderful and some deserves all the pain they go through. Just search and search and search some more to find the doctor who can find the meds that fit your chemical imbalance. Get help now. I am so much happier. I have so many friends and my family has been coming around more since the meds started. For the first time, I feel free and do not get upset and throw things. Try mental institutions. You are not crazy but do have a chemical imbalance that can be treated and you feel so great a few months after the treatment begins.

Answer 3

Anger held inside is definitely not healthy. Neither is having a nasty temper. People need to strive for a happy medium. I'm the opposite of you. I get mad, spout off my mouth, 5 seconds later I'm over it. Usually having to apologize to someone where I have said something I regret the second I said it. You need to find an outlet for your anger. Take up racketball, something very physical so that every time you smash your racket into the ball, think, "I wish that was so and so's head" or something similar. Not only is being physical a very good way to let off steam, just think what great shape you could be in getting rid of all those years of pent-up anger! Holding anger in is not the only thing that is not good for your health. People that hold their problems inside instead of talking them out are putting their health at risk. Anger or any kind of stress is hard on your heart and is also not good for your BP.

Answer 4

There are lots of therapies you could try but I do agree with Porky's ideas. I remember seeing a cranial oesteopath for the first time some years ago and the result was a massive release of built up tension from years and years (all held in).

Answer 5

i am a very calm and placid person for the most part, and have a bad mood once or twice a year (an unprovoked on that is )

i think that anger does not get 'bottled up' unless you make concious efforts to control it when it arises, but if you aren't an angry person then its fine- but everyone needs some for of release, be it vigourous sex or a punchbag (my two favourites).

its your own mind and you control it, not the other way round people!

Answer 6

Exercise and forgiveness. It is hard to forgive, but you must--not for them, but for you. This is my prescription: Go out and exercise until you are worn out. Whatever you like to do--biking, hiking, horses, running--you know which suits you. When you are just plain done, come home and soak in a hot bubble bath. Hot as you can stand. Stay until the water is kinda cold. Once you have done this, go sit in a place that is quiet, where you will not be disturbed. Think about the reasons for your anger. Just identify persons or things one by one, and say to the Universe, "I am willing to forgive XXXXX for not being what I thought he/she/it would be." Try it. I know, it sounds silly, but if you are willing, the Universe will give you the energy. Love yourself. Heal. I did, and it's swell.

Answer 7

Much anger is rooted in fear. Think about that idea for a minute, then like the first answer says take a martial arts course. Clean up your finances.

Answer 8

You are right to be concerned. I would suggest for immediate elimination of the anger that you visit a qualified hypnotherapist. If you want to talk about it for years, go see a shrink or a psychologist

Answer 9

Now now, calm down.

Go to a Breakers Yard and ask if there is anything you can destroy, preferably a car or such like.

Then let yourself go!!

Failing that, I'm available for hate mail at my email address.

Go for it, I've had some right old siht wrote to me but it's all water of a ducks back.

Knock yourself out girl!!

Answer 10

Try meditation or yoga, or take up kick boxing to release any pent-up anger/frustration, that way you can get rid of it without hurting anyone.
