how can i control my anger?

Answer 1

Dealing with anger issues can be very hard depending on how much anger you have and where it's coming from. Honestly a counselor could probably help you more than anyone else, possibly even yourself.
If you just not wanting to do that you could try finding a self help workbook on dealing with anger, my therapist used one with me and I think that is what really helped me.

Answer 2

Temporary- get away from what is bothering you. Believe it or not, this may sound crazy, but drink a lot of water. I do this and it helps. It is like putting out an internal fire.

Answer 4

I had a problem with anger most of my life and took anger management and counselling. Nothing seemed to work. As I got older I have mellowed out. Much anger can be situational, like with your partner. The best advice I can give you is to "think of the consequences before doing something stupid ".

Answer 5

There are books you can check out from the library on this subject, as well as anger support groups to help, plus counseling.

You need to see what sets you off then avoid those situations. Plus, you need to list the advantages of losing your temper and the advantages of being calm, and you'll see the clear advantage is to not lose your temper.

Also, and you're not going to want to hear this, anger is a self-centered emotion. Instead of being kind and doing things for others angry people are always thinking of themselves and how others should treat them a certain way. Angry people tend to have thinking along the lines of, "That person had no right to say ____ to me so that gives me the right to be ten times worse."

Another thing to consider is that angry people tend to take little things too seriously. They look at little things people do unintentionally and get offended and deliberately try to punish the person. This is wrong. This is emotional immaturity and self-centeredness.

Answer 6

I would like to hear more detail about your anger, do you blow up and break things, hit people, say cruel things? If you have a bad temper there are classes called anger management. I know someone that went to these classes and they really helped. Get help before you burn alot of bridges. Your first step is that you have recognized this as a problem. Good luck and don't stop there.

Answer 7

The goal of anger management is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the phycological arouses that anger causes.You can't get rid of,or avoid the things/people that annoy you,nor can you change them but you can change the control of your actions.Anger can be supressed,then converted or redirected, though unexpressed anger can create other problems...
