anger problems?

Question

im always mad and when im not the littlest things can set me off. whenever someone makes me mad i flip out and become very verbally abusive and sometimes physically abusive to whoever is closet to me at the time. i flip out on my family and friends all the time and i end up threatening to kill them. im sick and tired of being angry all the time and not being able to enjoy things without wanting to stab someone in the throat. i dont have mental issues though its just i cant control my anger. is there any kind of help i can get?

Answer 1

I would suggest that you go speak to a professional so you can get to the root of your anger. They will probably have you go through therapy and anger management classes. I would suggest that you do this ASAP, as you're walking down a dangerous path. I'm not saying that to be disrespectful to you. I'm talking from experience. The sooner you know how to control your anger, the better you will feel about yourself.

Answer 2

You have anger problems, anger is an emotion, emotions are a part of your mental function, ergo you have mental issues. No big deal. You should seek some counseling. Check with your social services, private councilors in the phone book or some employers have employee benefit plans that will connect you to counseling help.
There is GOOD help available.
Yes, it is sort of embarrassing.
Yes, there is a stigma attached by our society to getting help for mental issues.
You can learn to get past these two issues.
If you do nothing, and end up REALLY losing it some day and hurting someone think of how embarrassing THAT would be, not to mention being hauled away in handcuffs and maybe sent to prison. Then you would get the help you needed in the first place, except it would be too late.
Get help. Learn what it's like to live a "normal" life. It's worth it.

Answer 3

The inability to control your anger, and the intensity of your desire to do bodily harm IS A MENTAL ISSUE.

You need to get to a psychiatrist before you are thrown in jail. There really is help out there for you. Your anger is the SYMPTOM of your illness - and a dangerous one at that.

Some of the health places these days are called Behavioral Health........you exemplify the reason.

Something within you is causing you to not have self-control. Whatever it is, your negative urges are way outside of normal. Most people do not threaten or think of violence on a daily basis. There is likely a chemical problem going on with your body/brain. As an MD, the psychiatrist (Dr. specializing in brain function) can assist you in the form of medication to help normalize your body. A therapist can work with you more often, usually weekly, and can help you learn, and assist you in learning new coping skills. They will work with you and help you to learn to see yourself and others in a different light. There are safer ways to think and to live and to react. They are goals you CAN REACH.

If you are willing and you have the guts to follow through with treatment, you will find there is goodness and kindness out there for you. And, do seek God. Faith can help your anger and fear to change into caring and inner peace. Really.

Okay first thing you need is get a weekend away then when you come back get therapy, anger management, and maybe go to karate or some kickboxing, or just like run off some of that steam.

Answer 5

there are some anger groups out there I'm sure, but I would suggest talking about it with your doc, and perhaps getting a small dose of medication that subdues aggression, like maybe celexa or something, these meds really help, they have helped me calm down, and my teenage son with severe suicidal depression..good luck, try to think of not wasting your energy on the small stuff....

Answer 6

Once you put your anger suit on, it's hard to take off.
Your anger poisons your environment, and hurt those around you.
Your suit protects you.

Your only option? You must leave the environment. Reflect. Know the need to change.
Then commit to your change, by apologizing to those you hurt.
