Anger alert:Can anyone help me by giving me some advice on how not to get cross?

Question

and how to curb your anger?(It's me)Is there any medicine that can help?They say laughter's the best medicine.I am a walking rage.Not funny it hurts.

Answer 1

exercise is a good vent.. if that doesn't work try meditation... if that doesn't work check your blood pressure.. if that doesn't work... then there is medication for anger.

Answer 2

You don't say what it is that is making you angry? Are you angry all the time at everything? Or are there specific things that set you off? Identifying the differences should make it easier to find the appropriate help.

If you are angry all the time, then there could be a variety of different causes. Hormones, chemical imbalances in your system, etc which will likely have to be treated medically. Are you taking any medications like steriods which can cause rage?

If your anger is induced by events external to yourself, then some other answerers have given some good suggestions. Counting to 10, exercise, getting a good night's sleep, finding things that make you happy in life, anger management courses, etc. If your anger is self perpetuating, the good news is that it is controllable. You just need to get to the root of the issue and then find some approriate help.

All the best!

(Hope this doesn't make you mad!)

Answer 3

As typical as it is, try counting to ten when something makes you angry. This gives you time to process what is making you upset, and also helps you to understand the right response.

Try giving yourself some quiet time each day to think about things that make you happy, and to think about the personality you are striving for. Getting a clear mental picture in your head of the type of person you want to be might help you to become it.

If all else fails, get a punching bag. Spend a while each night just letting it out the punching bag.

Medication is often not the best answer.

Answer 4

Some say people are more prone to anger because their brain has not been challenged enough, best medicine is learning! Believe it or not! I was in your shoes 2 months ago, got brain age 2 for the ds, been challenging my brain everyday! And I've never had a more fulfilling life. Also try to balance these three parts of your life: work, family, off-time; if you lose one, your quality of life will suffer.

Answer 5

Get into some counseling. It's not normal to feel rage all the time. There are medications, but you probably need to really examine your expectations of yourself and other people, too. Do you tend to take things really personally? Are you a demanding or controlling person? You need to examine what it is about your personality that sets you up for getting so PO'd, then work on changing it.

Answer 6

Try taking an anger management class. They can give you ideas specific to your rage. If there is a certain person that bothers you, try getting a punching bag, tape their picture to it and go after it. Honestly, it helps. Also, talk to your doctor, a lot of depression / anti anxiety medications like Lexapro or Celexa could help too.

Answer 7

Ask someone you are around a lot who you trust (sum1 level-headed) to help you. They could even giv u a little hit evrytime hey see u getting angry. But the only discipline tht really lasts is selfdiscipline. You need to work on i urself and b patient, it wont go away ovrnight!
Hope this helps, and if it does, i wudnt mind 10 points for a best answer! hehe, no pressure! :)

Answer 8

im the same, but at 50 ive learned some survival tricks...

ignore th etwat behind the counter, he knows jack, if he did hed be at macdonalds...

peoples opinions only matter if yo value their opinion.. strangers dont know you, and consequently dont enter the equation.

I am alway right... if i dont know, i stay quiet. if i open my mouth, youd better listen, and pay attention.

DO NOT pi ss me off... for i will make your life miserable... i can, and i will not hesitate... neither do i aquiesce or compromise...

you make a contentious comment, youd better be able to back it up, or ill rip you to shreds and spit out the bones... because you can bet if i make the comment, i will be able to articulate my arguments... and prove my point.

people are idiots, people are by and large a waste of good brains... and they are beneath me. like it or not, i am superior, and a chronic over achiever... get used to it.

its isnt ever funny. and dont ever ever question my methodology, or my thought process, i will never accept a job if i can't deliver... because all i have is my word, and my handshake... and in 35years, ive never missed a deadline, and never been accused of not knowing what im doing...

you ask, because you dont know, so why the hell are you questioning my answer? esp when you dont know sh it...

and thats how i deal with it, with them... i dont rage, i never get personal... and rarely raise my voice... my vocabulary leaves no doubt as to how i feel... and my body language says..any moment, im going to take up my neandertal club, and beat you to death if you dont shut up...

Answer 9

I agree with susan T counselling will ehlp but maybe try some chamomile tea (you can but the tea bags in supermarkets these days) it has calming / realzing properties as does lavender oil - good lcuk with whatever you decide to do

Answer 10

not sure how old you are but here goes...

have you thought about taking up the drum kit, it's worked wonders for my son, practice when you stressed, let it out if you're not.

it'll calm you help you to concentrate and help with every day, won't be immediate though give it a couple of weeks.

good luck
