Help I Think I Need Anger Management?

4

Yer its true. I get angry so easily (some times at the littlest things) then i can completely blow things out of proportion. I have recently turned into a complete ***** this year (i.e. upsetting people and not wanting to apologise ) I don’t mean the things i say and end up regretting them. Could this bee because i have had to bottle my anger up inside me all these years?

Hi Gemma.
Anger is a completely normal, usually healthy, human emotion. But when it gets out of control and turns destructive, it can lead to problems—problems at work, in your personal relationships, and in the overall quality of your life. And it can make you feel as though you’re at the mercy of an unpredictable and powerful emotion.
(Strategies To Keep Anger At Bay)
Some simple steps you can try:
Breathe deeply, from your diaphragm; breathing from your chest won’t relax you. Picture your breath coming up from your “gut.”
Slowly repeat a calm word or phrase such as “relax,” “take it easy.” Repeat it to yourself while breathing deeply.
Use imagery; visualize a relaxing experience, from either your memory or your imagination.
Nonstrenuous, slow yoga-like exercises can relax your muscles and make you feel much calmer. … Practice these techniques daily.
Remind yourself that getting angry is not going to fix anything, that it won’t make you feel better (and may actually make you feel worse).
The world is “not out to get you,” you’re just experiencing some of the rough spots of daily life. Do this each time you feel anger getting the best of you, and it’ll help you get a more balanced perspective.
Remember, you can’t eliminate anger—and it wouldn’t be a good idea if you could. In spite of all your efforts, things will happen that will cause you anger; and sometimes it will be justifiable anger. Life will be filled with frustration, pain, loss, and the unpredictable actions of others. You can’t change that; but you can change the way you let such events affect you. Controlling your angry responses can keep them from making you even more unhappy in the long run.
If you feel that your anger is really out of control, if it is having an impact on your relationships and on important parts of your life, you might consider counseling to learn how to handle it better
goodnight to you princess xoxo
Peace is a journey of a thousand miles and it must be taken one step at a time.
I wish for you all the success and happiness the Universe has to offer

Yes, it could be because you are letting out bottle up anger, or it could be some kind of medical issue, like a hormone imbalance. I would start with a physical exam and rule out something medical that could be causing this, and then get some therapy for the issues you have been holding inside and not dealing with. Sometimes when we don’t deal with an issue, or deny that it is still an issue, it comes out in other areas of our lives. For example if a child was sexually abused, they may think they dealt with it by denying it, and it actually comes out in ways like weight gain and stomach pains and nightmares. I hope you find the help for what is upsetting you.

I think that you need to see your g.p. if this is affecting your life. They can refer you to someone who will go through your issues with you and help you find the solution.

Anger management: Explore your anger to gain control
Anger is natural, but it can be destructive when expressed inappropriately. Gauge your anger level and identify your unhealthy expressions of anger.
Do you slam down the phone when faced with endless computerized voice prompts? Have you gotten into a shouting match with a stranger over a parking space at the mall? Ever put your fist through the wall after an argument with your spouse?
This is not anger management at its finest. Although anger is a natural emotion, it may be getting the best of you. Instead of expressing your anger in a healthy and assertive way, you may be expressing it in a hostile, aggressive manner — a manner that could lead to violence and a slew of personal and professional consequences.
Here are some points to consider when assessing whether you express your anger in a healthy or unhealthy manner, and how to get a better grasp of anger management.
Understand your anger
Anger itself isn’t bad. Expressed appropriately, anger can be healthy. It can help protect you from dangerous situations, energize you to resolve problems or lead to sociocultural reforms, for instance.
Sure, everyday frustrations, impatience and resentment can all cause your temper to flare. For many people, these are fleeting moments. They’re able to take these situations in stride and quickly return to a sense of calm without exploding.
But if your blood boils after minor irritations — such as losing that coveted parking space — or if you’re constantly seething, you may need to improve how you’re managing anger. Anger that’s out of control can be destructive, leading to problems in your relationships, at work, in your enjoyment of life and with your health. You could even be arrested or face other legal problems.
Determine your anger level
So, just how angry are you? This chart is a barometer of sorts. Although it doesn’t score your anger, you can use it as a tool to raise your self-awareness about your level of anger.
To use the chart, see if the words on the left describe your behavior or thoughts over the past week. Check the ones that apply to your anger.
Gauge your anger
Words Check if it applies
Angry
Bitter
Rebellious
Spiteful
Deceived
Annoyed
Furious
Resentful
Bad-tempered
Ready to fight
Yelling
Frustrated
Disappointed
If you have several check marks, your anger level is on the high side. Try using anger management tips for several weeks to see if you can more effectively control your anger. You may also want to consult an anger management professional to help you learn to handle anger in a healthier way and to better understand what’s behind your anger. Talk to your health care provider about resources, such as counseling or anger management classes.
You can repeat this exercise over time to see if your ability to manage your anger improves.
