Anyone struggle with anger? How did you overcome it

[Couth]

I'm struggling with this myself. I want to eliminate my anger so I can focus on goals. When I'm angry my thought process goes backwards fast.

I'm usually smart and forward thinking. Try not to involve myself in bullshyt. But when I'm mad my thinking goes backwards. I get real negative. Start looking for problems. Start roasting people just for being around me. Be ready to smack dudes for breathing in my direction.

At least a couple times a month ill spazz out and do/say something I regret. I'm realizing that most of my problems in life stem directly from my anger. Burned bridges and caught charges over this.

I've already done anger management. It sounds good in theory. But when I'm mad I don't give a fukk about thinking positive. Thought doesn't even cross my mind. Like I said I just go looking for trouble.

Right now I just smoke a lot of weed to tone down my aggression. It works. But not well enough.

I train when I'm mad too. But I swear that makes me even more angry. Runners high be making you want to smack nikkas too. I think cuz it increases test levels


How do you deal with your anger?

Vipassana meditation. It was the hardest thing i ever done but through it I see the true nature of reality and am able to control most strong emotions

 

[The Blackout]

Although difficult in the heat of true anger one must always think rationally and logically about consequences from acting out in a emotionally unstable mindstate

It can take years to control a temper

I just channel my fury into things that can help me out. When back to school an absolute loose canon but I learned to just distance myself from things that were making me mad. Every year less and less altercations. Slowly losing that rage every day.

Finally making money which helps. Cut all the poisonous people from my life. I'd say I'm too preoccupied day to day to have time to be mad. Other than sleep I'm barely home and when I'm having a bad week it's easy to tack on a shift or two keep my mind off things.

So...keeping busy and slowly losing the habit of getting angry. Cause anger if not the cause of a chemical imbalance is mostly habitual, learned behaviour.

It's almost never worth it. Yeah, you get angry? Then what? You spazz out and do something that makes you look like a child or something you will regret afterwards. Just think to yourself that it's not worth it, calm down (take a couple of deep breaths) and move on or channel that energy to motivate yourself.

Smoke a lot of weed as early in the day as possible

Channel negative energy into positive actions, making music or art.

I struggled with anger as a kid but I've definitely grown from it. Everyone gets angry. The key is to not make decisions or do anything out of anger. When you get angry leave the situation, go off by yourself and calm down. Once your blood is no longer boiling, re-evaluate the situation and try to understand the big picture. Analyze the role that you played and the role that other individuals played in the process. If it is a close friend or family member, talk to them about the issue at hand. Explain the problems that you had with their actions and come to an understanding. If the problem was with a random person, try to realize that you shouldn't let other people control your emotions. Also, create and go through life with very low expectations for people who are not your friends or family. Once you stop yourself from doing things out of anger, you'll see that the problem isn't anger but letting anger take over your decision making process.

[ThatTruth777]

control your breathing

could also be a thing about pride and you know what they say about that

 

[MoeDollaZ$]

I act bitter,jealous and down right stupid alot of the times. I said alot of hurtful things to people and acted like a complete ass. I feel so bad about my actions that I allow myself to be taken advantage of and put on display. Public embarrassement is a very humbling experience.

 

[Sly Cooper]

meditation, boxing, writing, and yoga help me keep it under control

 

[Hoodoo Child]

Writing and recording. I'm a work in progress

I had to goto anger management when I was 19, and the dude basically taught me that once you recognize what makes you angry, sometimes it's best to just not be around that shyt. So basically, don't play yourself by doing or going around things or people that you know will just end up triggering you.

It could be as simple as cutting off a certain group of friends that are toxic... Or not playing Ranked mode of your favorite game, and just do Casual...

Most of my anger comes from being around people too much, and I start wigging out on them. So I make sure I have time to myself and turn my phone silent to let my stress levels go down.
