Anger Issues...?

Question

I have serious anger issues.Like anything can set me off,but when im not angry im like the nicest person you'll ever meet. And when I get angry I don't want to take it out on punching bag or anything.I want to beat the hell out of the person or thing that made me mad.But I usually don't.Usually I just grab a hold of my arm and squeeze until im purple, and a lot of times I just punch everything I see and through things.But one way or another I feel as if something has to hurt.Weather it be me or the thing or person who made me angry.I need some advice.I don't want to wind up doing major harm to myself or another person?

And Im not going to a doctor.All they want to do is give out meds.

Advice please?

What I mean is I'll go to the therapy but it doesn't help one bit.I've been to many doctors. The meds don't work.

Answer 1

Manage your anger. Seek out help. Not all doctors etc are going to prescribe drugs . However theres help available for those like yourself. Be strong bite the bullet and get help

Answer 2

Anger is a good emotion because it tells us something is very wrong. In your case, it may go back to childhood, perhaps you lived in a home where anger was the norm and you never learned how to control it or vent it properly. Or maybe you've been abused and that brings up a lot of repressed anger.

Whatever the reason, you need to find out what's going on and the best way to do that is through talk therapy (no meds) with a good counselor (this is not a psychiatrist, they dole out meds to people with severe disorders). The can also give you tools to control and monitor your anger so you don't hurt your poor arm or someone else someday. But most importantly, they can help you to find the root of the anger and deal with it effectively.

Good for you that you've recognized this problem and want to do something about it, that shows great maturity and a will to change for the better! : )

Answer 3

i think you need to find out what the basis of your anger is,
we aren't born angry, something usually happens to make
us angry, medicine and tablets wont help, the right therapy
will, it takes time to find the right person to talk to, keep
looking until you find them, anger is stress and stress can
cause all sorts of harm, heart attack and stroke are just two
things, there are heaps of other things, hurting yourself is not
the answer either, try an aggresive sport, run as fast as you
can for as long as you can, there are lots of other things you can do until you find the therapist that can help you

Answer 4

I also have issue like you & don't like to take medicine.
Many times I search anger management on web & read it. It kind of helps me couple of weeks. You can do same there are lot of books also.

Answer 5

nope..if you don't want to see your doctor then your not all that concerned about your behaviours. You have to start somewhere.
