How Do You Deal With Your Own Anger?

[Aleyna]

I have a problem. I get angry, annoyed, and irritated easily. So I need some help with knowing how to deal with my own anger. I don't hold grudges anymore, but it's like I'll get super angry and explode, and then I'll be fine a few minutes later. I'm happy that I get over my anger quickly, but I still get mad a lot, just for not that long, and when I do get mad, I get really mad like I said. I don't want to blow up and explode anymore. Even if it's only for like a few minutes, it's still not good and not healthy since it happens a lot. It's not like a explode like I bratty kid, it's like I explode as a catty smart alic. I am curious, what do you guys do to deal with or get rid of your own anger? Has anyone ever been in an anger management class before? I get stressed out and angry easily, so I have to do a lot of things. I write everyday, I try to talk to someone everyday, I exercise by dancing and jogging everyday, yet I still end up having a problem with something. I even take medications to help out with stress. I know not everyday is suppose to be a good day in a person's life, but when you notice that you get angry more then a regular person from your perspective, and it sometimes keeps you from being happy, then it can really suck.

Umm...I can get really angry but for some reason I can't stay angry. I just don't talk to anyone for a while and a few minutes later it will pass...alothough occasionally I will get really angry and actually snap at someone. What I do when I'm really angry or just annoyed with someone are: I just walk away (I know that sounds rude but I don't want to ssnap at them and regret it later), I listen to music (It always helps to listen to the artists that make me laugh) or I go read a book (give my mind something to do and I kinda forget what I am angry about.)

I don't know if those would work for you but I hope it did help a bit. Also no, I have never taken anger management classes.

Hope that helps :3

I don't easily get angry but when I do get angry, I end up getting sleepy and then falling asleep. This always happens but because of it I don't get angry also a nice nap can make you feel better.

You know, I get angry, but what I've learned over the years is that you should pick and choose your battles. Anger is a delicate emotion. You should treat it like such. You should only get angry at the things which deserve your anger. Don't fret on the little things, young Skywalker.

I'm never actually angry. And if I do get really mad I'm usually crying. Once I was so mad at my brother I broke out into a dramatic cry in a corner for a few hours. My mom had to come and pick me up and lay me on my bed.. Mind you this is my 19 year old self she attempted to pick up. So I never get red hot angry but just.. break into tears though I'm not sad.

Will you be my sister? Pretty please? =O

But I know how you feel. I'm practically in the same boat as you but because of my family, they don't ever make sense in their decisions or their arguements against me. What I do is do the things I love most, for me that would be gaming. I play it and forget my issue (until it happens again). My only advice is well...do the things you love and that is my 2 cents there.

[Vanilla Tsundere]

I actually have quite the mellow temper, but I get irritated kind of easily. So my anger is pretty easy to deal with. I just do stuff I like and it passes.

[aether]

I bottle it up and then vent it all out during a physical excercise

[Anime-Prince]

I try my best to turn anger into humor.

I don't try and make light of whatever has gotten me angry, I just make fun of how angry I actually am. You can have the most angry frown on your face, but if you stare in the mirror and try and make a stupid face, I can't help but lose the frown a bit.

Might not work with others.. but a sense of humor is one of the most powerful things to have, concerning emotions and perspective.

[Meenah]

I hardly get angry, and it actually takes a lot for me to get angry. ^^'
Now when I'm angry, I stay quiet for a long time until I cry. As much as possible, I avoid people when I'm angry.

[Eris]

I really don't get angry.

[Skylar1]

I'm hardly ever angry. Though I do tend to become frustrated when situations become continuously unsatisfactory, but that's about it.

Best thing to to do when you're angry, is to just put it out of your mind until you can cool down and think more rationally. If that doesn't work, you can always channel the energy into something productive/creative like working or art.

long term irritability could be a sign of poor diet, physical condition, or lack of sleep though.

[Meteorkeeper]

It is very hard to make me angry but it has been known to happen from time to time and when it dose I spar or just go to the gym and use the punching bags.

[AnimeBboy]

I don't get anger often but a punching bag really does help me get rid of my anger.

[Datenshi]

In my observations, people who get angry easily tend to expect too much out of other people. I have pretty relaxed expectations of people on the whole, so anything that gets me angry has to be below even my standards, which would be pretty depraved (like, genocide or egregious miscarriages of justice).

Also, it may not seem like it at the time, but 90% of your daily problems tend to go away after a night's sleep.

[Xeyuzio]

I listen to music or I think of my cat. <3

[Digital Dragon]

I am on medication, but I also like to sit in the park when it is quiet or draw pictures or sew things to relax myself.

[Ωmega]

Personally, I get angry, take a DEEP breath, and separate myself from whats making me angry. If its a person, I just avoid them for a while. If its something at work, I put on my mp3 player and forget about it.


I suppose music calms me the most. Just put on something soothing and let it calm me down. Whatever it is, its not worth my blood pressure shooting up and possibly ruining my mood all day for.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Put all my anger on @blueangel06661 She actually takes it. <3333333333

Aside from that, I put on my boxing gloves and start beating the living crap out of my boxing bag. Because it will replace my anger with exhaustion, works pretty well. If I am not that angry then I just go to bed and listen to music or just talk to friends, usually calms me down really fast if I am not that angry.

[Velvet_Nightmare]

I have an anger issue, although I'm the type that holds the anger in, which isn't healthy, but it's my way of avoiding conflict.

I do get irritated every now and then, mostly at silly things like video games. I just have to remind myself that whatever pissed me off will be gone after a while.

[animeyay]

It's very hard to actually annoy or anger me. Very rarely, when I do feel rage inside me, though, I either play some video games or listen to some music ALONE. I can't stay mad at anyone for more than 20 minutes.

[~*Red*~]

I deal with my anger by talking to a friend I trust or listen to music and write stories.

[CryBabyWearingDiaper]

For me i Rage when i dye on FPS's like CoD, So what i do is:
Go for a drive.
Go for a walk.
Go on youtube a search 'Funny *Insert Anime here* Moments
Watch a anime that i really like.
Put on some head phone's and blast my favorite music.

Personally even if you dont want to do it, Do your favorite thing to do, and if you can do that, the do your second favorite thing to do

[Anoleis]

I find a hypersensitive person on Deviant Art, and then precede to fulfill my sadistic needs~

[Trippy Hippie]

I punch babies. 8D
