Whenever I get angry, I do a good job of controlling myself. I hold it for about 2-5 minutes, feel like I am over it , then just when I think I am okay, somebody says something or somebody comes up to me and then I burst.
I've tried walking away, I've tried staying in my room, but usually its my Mom that walks up to me or convinces me to spend time with the very person I need time away from. Or sometimes it is my Mom that belittles or patronizes me in front of people that I like. And she just does it out of nowhere, giving me no time to prepare for it. I can't stand it. I control myself, control myself, hold my breath, then just when its like almost over, and I think I've made it through the situation, I burst in the last 20 seconds or so.
Can somebody please give me some anger management strategies? Well actually I do a good job when I am dealing with people other than my family. Its only when I am with my family members, ( at least one of them ) that I can't deal with it.

You have to accept yourself for who you are, I don't think it is possible to be someone different. Just apologize sincerely afterwards, once you cool down, and that is enough. Everybody gets mad sometimes, we aren't walking, unfeeling zombies.

I just breathe as deep as I can for as long as it takes to cool down. Then I go do something to take my mind off of it (like play a game or watch some TV or something). Or listen to relaxing music. Just breathe.

well in my opinion, i dont agree with holding in your temper, seemed to have made it worse for me, you need to find an outlet like running, or walking. You need your space to regroup your feelings (or even writing it all down), remember that getting mad isnt a crime,,,,,,BUT acting on these feelings can hurt others peoples feelings. Its hard to be senstive when other people arent....so find some other kind of safe outlet.

positive patterning helps me to have the awareness when needed . Anger is sometimes an irascible trait carried by lack of proper cognizance when most needed.
