Current Events > Tips for dealing with explosive anger?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Recently I've been having these bursts of anger and usually I just suppress my anger but it seems I'm not able to currently so seems to work against me because I don't notice my anger building up until the breaking point.

---

If I would have this problem, I think I would seek for anti-anger pills. I bet these exist.

Yesterday I flipped out cause I dropped a bottle cap and couldn't reach it cause it went under some furniture and I couldn't find something to poke in there to reach and then when I did, a spider crawled out.

Find a buhurt gym near you and participate.

Buhurt is where you dress up in a full suit of armor, grab some weapons and beat the shit out of eachother.

Scream loud into a pillow, you'd be surprised how muffled it makes it

Get a punching bag, or some weights, and direct the anger into vigorous physical exercise

Aquarium keeping is very therapeutic, get a basic tank, learn the chemistry, and create a little eco system.

I have cats, no small and consumable animals allowed.

I have anger problems too..

Mine stem from my need to control every aspect of my life and inability to handle anything that attempts to work against my plans both big and small. Which is a ton of things. Being aware of it helps, but it's something I have to practice every day.

I also have to make sure it doesn't just make me completely not care about anything, because I found the easiest thing to do is just minimize things I care about. Which just leads to me doing absolutely nothing with my life.

Happy mediums are hard. I AM A MAN OF EXTREMES.

Don't you watch cartoons? Suppressing anger for too long is never a good thing, and you will either summon a monster or turn into one, or set yourself on fire, or explode.

Take up mma

That sounds sweaty and gross.

Yes but it'll help you

Or just grab something to punch like a pillow or my face

Recently I've been feeling pity and disgust. Within the last minute specifically.

If it helps, my personality is crafted with care to make you feel like that

So you should take my advice about the pillow

I don't have a wife
I don't even own a pillow
I'm that poor

What is the point of wasting all that energy being angry when ultimately lashing out will result in nothing productive? Learn to accept things and move on. Anger is your response, the thing that happened happened. It did not happen to make you angry, it just happened and anger was your response.

Also when it comes to people, the biggest life lesson is to never take anything personal. Once you learn that, it's fucking zen.

Don't mistake this as suggesting you supress your anger, that's bad. Talk about your feelings. What I'm saying is change your outlook.

Was it the spider or the entire process of trying to get the thing?

I know itll all build up to be anger, but I guess moving the couch so you dont have to deal with all of that would make your life easier

what other stuff was making you mad? I can get like that sometimes, but nowadays being pent up makes my heart have palpitations and shit so I try not to be >_>

I figured out it starts a lot with my sleep, I know itll stress my mind out in the back not having slept right, I used to sleep nothing and kept going.. but it does get you to start your day with the odds of things trying to bug you multiplied

when Im actually there and stressed already I really just try to find something to make me laugh honestly, I know thatll help balance out shit

Make yourself so angry you shit your pants. Going forward It'll help keep you under control once you've crossed the Rubicon and lost that level of control and shat your pants.

---

I just get upset at the sequence of events. I feel like I don't ask for much. I just want to go through each day without incident but it feels like one setback leads into another, even when it's insignificant in the greater picture. It just feels like my life, you want to try moving foward but you don't know how to deal with setbacks. Everyone else seems to have it together, they're not going to let things stop them but I'm back here feeling like I tripped at the starting line and then I pissed my pants for good measure. My life is that bottlecap. It didn't have to happen that way but it did. I just want to be in the race again.

The first step is shitting your pants. Change your life, honest to God.

Stop comparing yourself to other people. Everyone takes different paths. Comparing yourself to others is a really good way to prevent yourself from going forward. Learning to adapt is just part of life. You cannot control everything, you need to learn to adapt and accept when things happen. There's no starting line.

My goal in life is to marry a wife mom who'll make me tendies

My original goal was to be successful and rich but then I realized its too much effort
find out what you actually want and go from there

Meditate. Seriously. Get some clarity on why the anger is there. If that doesn't work, it could possibly be something medical.

I used to have some serious anger issues, meditation and exercise got me to a place where... hell, now I hardly ever get angry, and if I do I can usually just chill out right away.

exercise

Antidepressants and mood stabilizers.

I have decided being angry is pretty rad you guys. The issue is resolved, let us discuss chill and non strenuous activities.

Sit down with one of your cats, start petting it, close your eyes and breathe deeply, inhaling slowly through the nose, exhaling slowly through the mouth. Do this for 10 minutes.

If a person ever asks you why youre moving a couch just say its cause I know that all of that is not even worth my damn time

inefficient fools smh

i can already feel the non space available under a couch that low to the floor and my hand bones stressing against shit the bottom of the couch just to have my shoulder and my nose bone pressed against the couch

thats a no from me dawg

ey, not even you had a stick thing.. I guess if you were bumping into shit that would be annoying though

Tried antidepressants but they seem to do more harm to me than anything. I've been to therapy too. Though this was when I was younger.

I don't think I do but one never suspects the true culprit!

This is also entirely possibly.

Had a friend who was having serious mood swings and would get so angry he'd punch walls randomly when he was at home. He legitimately thought he was losing his mind.

It was black mold.

Well then I dunno, I haven't had black mold.

Shoot it with fire?
