Don't let hatred control you, no matter what others do that causes you to get angry. You would only become guilty of the same sin that afflicts them, and nothing would be solved. Instead, I would encourage you to have a relationship with and open your life to Jesus Christ and let him give you a new love for others. Let Him show you ways you can help bridge the gap between people, and let him help you in every area of your life to live for Him! What are you accomplishing by losing your control and hurting yourself? I say give your anger to Jesus Christ! Because He already died for your anger and sin! Let me fill you in to a secret about releasing anger! I know how you feel but the second you feel anger coming on, Ask yourself is this really a battle in your mind that you have to win? Is it really worth it? How can you make the situation your in better? I tell you NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING WILL RELEASE MORE ANGER than>>>FORGIVENESS!!!!!!!! That is why Jesus said: But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you! (Matt 5:44) The Bible says: Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Jesus Christ God forgave you. (Eph. 4:31-32) If you do not know the story of Jesus I encourage you to pick up a bible sometime and start with the gospel of John there you will read of a man named John the Baptist that paved the way for another man named Jesus. Know that Jesus and God loves you! God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) You see Jesus was flogged or beaten over 40 times, as Jesus stood silent, he was humiliated, degraded, mocked, striped naked, had jammed a crown of thorns on this head and was then nailed to a cross only after he had to walked nearly a mile with a heavy crossbeam to his back! Why? You ask: The Bible answers that? For you have been called for this purpose, since Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example for you to follow in his steps, Jesus who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in his mouth; and while being reviled, he did not revile in return; while suffering, He uttered no threats, but kept entrusting himself to him who judges righteously. (1 Peter 2:21-23) Christ hung on the cross for six hours before he died, He was there from nine in the morning until three in the afternoon. In spite of such enormous discomfort and indescribable pain, Jesus ONLY spoke words of genuine forgiveness to those who affiliated so much pain and anger to him! From the cross Jesus Spoke: "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." What? I know if that where me I would be very angry and not be forgiving men for doing all that to me! But, the fact is the Jesus was God in Human form so Jesus is perfect, he died for are imperfectness, sin and are anger! So, I would encourage you brother to develop a relationship with Jesus because he knows how you feel! Give it to him and offer forgiveness to all that make you angry! You will find that it makes a big difference!

Anger sucks, doesn't it? Once that "fight" response switches on it's amlost impossible to control as you're not thinking clearly! If you are removed from the immediate source of frustration it takes at least 20 minutes for the anger to subside enough to think a little more clearly.
I know this sounds strange but cleaning up your diet can really help reduce extreme reactions, it also can give you something possitive to focus on instead of what is irritating you all the time. Stick it out, the results in your whole body and mental outlook are worth it.

Why not learn to be assertive and directly express your anger through words? Or better yet, become aware of how your "stinking thinking" makes you angry. You probably tell yourself stuff like:
1. "People ought to always treat me the way I think I should be treated and I have every right to protest and be mad as long as that's not happening". OR
2. "It's best to vent my anger and just let it all out".
The problem is, we don't always get treated fairly. If we hold on to that unrealistic expectation, then we are letting others control us and guaranteeing that we will be miserable much of the time. Their are some good books on anger you could find in a library - or you could find a good therapist. Your knuckles and walls might thank you. And later on you'll find co-workers and loved ones like the new you. Hope it goes well.

The best way to release anger is through physical exercise. Energy always accompanies anger, so expel the energy and the anger goes with it.

Check out kickboxing classes or some other kind of martial arts. Also try running or high aerobic exercises. It's great to have an outlet, and the wall is not the answer!
