Anger issues

How do I stop getting angry so quickly. I hate the way I react to things but it’s like I can’t control it at all in the moment. I want to stop feeling ashamed of myself and be able to express my emotions and commit properly. Not being able to has made me feel really bad about myself

@hhhhhh04 I haven’t had many anger issues myself, but I did work with my brother when he struggled with that. You’ve already acknowledged that you do react that way, which is an important step. Different things work for different people- for my brother, he would step away from a situation to cool down when he started getting mad. I know some people also work on it in a low stress environment, where they can practice how they would handle a situation without saying something fueled by anger. However, as I said, everyone is different- so don’t feel bad if you don’t find a solution right away. It’s okay to get mad sometimes, too, but it’s good that you want to work on how you react. I hope you’re able to find something that works for you… and if you need to talk about this further, there are plenty of people here willing to listen!

@hhhhhh04 Hi I understand how uou feel I also had bad anger issues and felt regret for the issues my anger caused. Doing breath work being in nature or listening to river flowing and ocean sounds from spotify really helps if you unable to be a park at a beach hiking trail or in your own garden.

I understand how you feel cos I used to get angry very easily before now, but one thing that helped me overcome anger issues is being calm in every situation. I don't rush to take decisions anymore, once I am calm for some minutes and subdue the urge to react if I finally open my mouth to speak I noticed that my words becomes seasoned with salt. Try it, it may work for you too.

Dude im so mad….. im actually shaking. This girl lost her phone and some girl named blakelei asked if it was mine and I said no and she said that someone said it was on of the Izzy’s bc there’s another girl name izzy. And I said I’ll take it and give it to the office WHICH I DID!!!! And tairra the girl that lost it saw me in the hallway and said to get the f*** over here and so I did and she’s like “where’s my phone?!” And I said I turned it into the office bc I thought it was the other Izzys and I couldn’t find her, so turned it in. And she was like “well who was on the background "and I said I didn’t know bc I didn’t check, BECAUSE I DIDNT!!!! And she’s like whatever gtfo my face and as I was walking away she said dumb b**** lying to my face… it took everything in me not to turn around and start yanking that gaudy purple hair out her head. Im literally shaking bc of how mad im.
