Anger management tips, tips to hold more patience, things of the sort. I don't necessarily mean the typical count to 10 backwards stuff either. I really am interested what a person could do if he didn't have access to actually go talk to someone. Thanks!

Take a deep breath and count to ten before you give your reaction.
Realize that there's always the other side to the coin.
Impulsive reaction more than often results in deep feelings of regret for both sides.
Also exercising or creating any kind of art work will give a positive outlet to your pent up energy, hence you'll be calmer when interacting with seemingly annoying people.
Hope this helps and wish you luck.

Hi Tnisha It sounds like a chronic habit you developed somewhere in your life. If you've always had this problem, it's very likely one of your parents deals with their frustration in the same way. You have to re-parent yourself in this area. First - there are several anger management books in bookstores or available online. Second - almost every city or town has an anger management support group where you can learn how to control your anger before it gets full-blown. Third - This also falls under Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy. Try a local mental health clinic, if you don't have the money to see a therapist, or find a psychologist who deals with Anger Management issues. Sorry to tell you this, but as we get older, our bad habits get even worse unless we intervene and change. Good luck.

It is difficult to calm ones self when the heat of anger is swelling within. The time to combat anger and rage is before it starts. While one is calm, and in control of their emotions, when clarity of thought is possible.
Be aware of your areas of weakness, avoiding situations which cause undue stress. Count your blessings, make a commitment to yourself that you WILL treat others as you would want to be treated. Pray for insight, wisdom and a peaceful spirit. Build a compassionate soul within. Recognize that every human living is dealing with pain of one sort or another. Give the world a break. People are not out to get you. They are trying to survive, and they too are struggling.
When you start to feel the heat rising, let that feeling be the trigger that tells you, that as an act of your will, you will physically take a step back and say out loud "Let's make a new start in this conversation, maybe I was wrong." That defuses most volatile situations, and a new beginning is then possible.

Recognize your emotion -- don't keep your anger bottled in and pretend that you're okay. Afterwards lock yourself inside your car and make sure that all the windows are closed and then shout or cry your heart out. Stay inside the car for as long as you need to. Sometime it only takes a minute; other times, an hour. It works for me!! After doing this, I get out of the car with a clearer head and I can already approach certain issues with a steady mind. In addition, I have gained control of my emotions. In case I'm mad at someone, I'm now sure that what I'm going to say to that person is what I really mean... not just because I want to hurt that person. (Caution: just make sure that the engine is not running when you get inside the car..lol)

Self analysis to work out what the anger is really about! Usually when we get angry, the obvious cause is really just a trigger and the anger is usually connected to deeper and more hidden issues.
By looking at all the different triggers for anger and seeing the connection between them, it is possible to identify what greater unresolved pain is causing the anger to flare when it does.
This means rationalising and intellectually analysing an emotional issue. The only way to deal effectively with disturbing emotions is to introduce the intellect and analyse dispassionately.

It is situational with most people.
Always remind your self that control is the revenge of the intellect. Not relinquishing it to anger will piss off the ignorant and the arrogant and leave you satisfied

This guy that I used to work with gave me a piece of advice that is priceless:
"Everyone is going through their own form of suffering. If you can be sensitive to that, then life will be a lot easier to get through peaceably."
I just remember that when people frustrate me and try my best to have sympathy for them. You just never know what that person could be going through, you know?

in anger you should go to peaceful place and think the reason for your anger, i.e. think from both the sides (your side and one on whom you are angry).
once you are calm then go out and enjoy by eating fast food and play play station.
