Any of you struggle with anger mangement?

Post Reply New Topic

I seem to get furious with random people sometimes, weather it's family, friends, professorial people I know who try to help me, acquaintances, even complete strangers in public. I sometimes scream swear insult and abuse at a person so bad that I don't even feel sorry right away. Anyone else have this problem? I certainley know I do.

What do you get so mad AT?

I often find myself tutting and rolling my eyes when I'm out in public, depending on what mood I'm in. Usually loud noises like car horns or people coughing loudly annoys me. Kids approximately aged 10 months to 10 years make me the most pissed off because of their noise and unpredictability.

Living in the UK don't help because it's just a small but very overpopulated island with too many cars and not enough space, and that can make you angry too.

As a child I as diagnosed with ODD, so yes. I've gotten a lot better at controlling it as time has gone on however.

Yes.

I can get frustrated by things quickly, yes.

An example would be trying to take a kitchen utensil out of a drawer crammed full of random utensils. If the one I want is intertwined and held by other utensils and won't come out of the drawer, I'll calmly try to extricate the utensil. If that fails and it's getting ridiculous, I'll get mad. I will then resort to force without caring what happens.

Driving can irritate me if other drivers aren't obeying the rules, but that just means I'm yelling loudly in my car by myself. I would never take it to another level of actually giving in to "road rage".

Yes, I can be irritable by other things as well.

I sometimes get angry if someone says the wrongs thing to me and I screamed at them after. People say different things to me and if it annoys me, I get furious.

I do struggle with anger management, which is frustrating, because I feel losing my temper is a waste of my already meager energy. It’s fine to feel anger though—it can clue me into actions I want to take or boundaries I need to set. It’s also motivation to practice better self-care, as I can be more calm & centered if I feel well.

@neptunekh:
Were you always like that? Or did this change with time?

Yes, and always have. I get very easily frustrated especially with sensory stuff or if things don't go how i planned them in my brain.

To some extent, yes. Especially at late childhood.

My mood could play with that right now.
Odds of interacting me around 8 out of 20, I'm practically a hothead -- but don't usually flied off the handle, may stomped off and swear no more than twice at worst.
Around 2 out of that 8, likely with some sort of anger management issue whenever there's another party involved. If there are no other parties involved, chances I don't get frustrated THAT easily.
More frequent if hormones and involuntary reactions are involved, easily irritable and frustrated...

This is why I'm figuring out how to regulate emotions well, and how not to become my own biggest problem because of this.

I struggle more with frustration management. Like just the other day it felt like everything just went wrong all day...not the entire day I did fine at my work adjustment/assesment job I started this month. I am working with voc rehab and have got some work through another state organization that helps disabled people get into the work-force. So anyways I did fine at my job but everything else went wrong like I had to rush to the bus, I got what I thought was a check and even went to the credit union after work to deposit it only to realize I didn't see the big 'this is not a check' written across it. Then went back there to get my routing number and stuff just to see if they maybe deposited it but not in the correct account. Turns out due to having done some work from that place in august they must have still had me on for direct deposit...so it got deposited in my account while I was waiting for a physical check. So it did go into my account I just didn't realize it so I felt embarrassed about having gone to the credit union for them to tell me I had already gotten that money. But when stuff like that happens I get so frustrated and my boyfriend then feels like I take it out on him, which that is the last thing I want to do, but its like I just get caught up in the frustration and its hard for me to stop huffing about it I suppose.

Yes. I used to be a very angry person. I would tolerate bs for a long time and then blow my stack. Sometimes I felt completely out of control with rage.

However, I gave it all up and rarely get angry anymore. It was sort of like quitting a bad habit. I realized it was harming me seriously and so I quit. Once I quit expressing the anger, the feelings also slipped away from disuse.

I don't get so angry anymore now that i am medicated out of my mind. I used get furious. I shout, rant, and kick random objects sometimes for almost an hour. I don't like the meds I am on, but I have a baby now, and I can't risk hurting him so I bite the pill and plod on.

Yes, I get angry really easily.
