Controlling impulsive violent behavior/anger management

Hello,

I'm sure there have been lots of similar threads, but anyway. What are your tips on how to stop yourself from acting on your rage and being violent towards somebody?

There's this person that I cannot currently get away from completely, and I hate him so ######6 much I'd run a knife on his face until it was unrecognisable, which is rather problematic. It's not very likely that I would actually do it, but I'm scared that on some occassion a combination of a #######5 day and a bad move on his side will make me snap. I'm a very emotional and impulsive person.

Is there anything not involving drugs or alcohol you would recommend? Right now I'm trying to cope by distracting myself, but it only works as long as I am distracted.

I thought about putting a similar thread in the BPD sections because I feel this is really where it belongs, but I feel that people over there are less likely to accept violent urges, and I don't want to see another "you monster!" rant directed at me.

I was taught a while ago to instead get carried away with destructive emotions simply take control of the situation that's causing them. It really did help to lesson the frequency of my outbursts. Take care of the problem at any cost before you end up turning it into a shitstorm.
Find a way to remove this bloke or find a way to remove your feelings towards him.

slightly irrelevant but excuse me it is only triggering when is to someone innocent or animal or weaker. if someone deserves it or is not weaker i want to do it too. lol. i accept violent urges.lol
animals are love, but people suck.
i am not helping sorry. keep thinking of the bad consequences to you maybe.

You're going to think I'm being bitchy but I'm serious. Drop the social justice lingo. CIS. Triggered. Why do you use those words? When did you buy into that? It is designed to make people feel infuriated easily. It's not a good match ideaology for someone with a pd

??? i am not sure who are you talking to and what you are saying? to me?
triggered = having an big emotional reaction over something small( shortened).why is it social justice lingo. am i missing something. and i am going to talk however the ###$ i want.
(like i know this is a psycho forum and i love people being honest so i shouldn't be angry but that doesn't stop me hating you when you hurt animals etc or blame shift all the time, are in denial and have no concsience. i really want to hate you and have a online fight = triggered)
but if someone deserves it i really want to hurt him too

What is the situation? What did he do to cause you so much hate?

Exactly, triggered, CIS whatever is social justice warrior crap. That mentality ruins lives. You want to be less "triggered" stop using that term like it's acceptable to be triggered in the first place.

I didn't realize you were so concerned and caring about other people's lives. Well, aside from when their asking you for money at gas stations...
