Okay, here's my problem: I can't control my anger.. AT all! I'm not easily angered, but when I am, it's insane.
I'm usualy a very calm person, nothing really bothers me. But there's a certain few things that can, and when I come in contact with them, it's dangerous for anyone around me. Luckily I usually only get angry when I'm alone.
I have not tried many "Anger Control" excersises. But I don't exactly want to control it, I just don't want to feel the anger at all! Is this impossible?
For example, today I was on the phone with my girlfriend. I was in a cranky mood already, so I got mad at her for something really stupid. I don't burst out screaming or anything, when I am argueing with someone, I stay calm.. That's if the other person stays calm. But after we got off the phone, I just get a rush of anger. Like the Hulk. I start punching my first into the concrete part of my wall (I have enough fist holes), and then I go to the door and punch 4 holes into the door. I can only seem to calm my anger down once I feel pain to replace it.
However, I can't do that anymore. It scares peoples, and it scares myself. It is getting worse, before I could punch anything, without worrying about damage. Now my fist will go through walls, and I'm getting huge cuts on my knuckles. I'm afraid if it gets worse I'll be breaking my hands everytime I get mad. (Luckily I have strong bones)
But what I'm even more worried about is when me and my girlfriend move in together one day. I can never imagine hitting her. I've gotten mad around her once or twice, but I would just walk away and hit the wall. It scares her, she already doesn't feel safe, and I don't feel safe. Like I said, I can never imagine hitting her, but who knows... I want to control this anger while I'm still young, so it isn't a problem when I'm older.
What I can do to get rid of the anger? I don't want to feel it at all.
Ps. I've been diagnosed with ADHD since I was 5 (Don't know if that has anything to do with Anger, but perhaps the reason why I can't concentrate and control it) and I used to live in two households that were in constant fighting, smashing, and yelling until I was about 12.
