Strange anger issues.

Postby Lostone99 » Fri Jul 24, 2009 5:03 am

First off, i would like to state that im 16, and i would prefer to not to hear about all that " oh your just a kid you dont know anything bs". I have a rather strange and weird anger problem. I dont have the WHOLE details since ive gained and very good control of my anger. So far ive only gotten this angry one time in my life, i got mad and i blacked out. i was 13 years old so this was three years ago. It may seem far fetched and I myself dont believe it but what happened was i was at a family reunion and i dont know how or why i got this mad but, i broke someones nose and drop kicked someone else out a window. Thats what i was told i did. I have no memory of it and i dont quite believe it, But i figure 12 people telling me the same story they cant all be wrong. My brother also has this same problem but ive never seen him mad. hes 37 years of age. But after that i changed my life dramitically and now very very very few things upset me or bother me. ive just learned to take everything in stride and just walk away, but im afraid that some time i might not be able to stop myself in time. Im afraid i might hurt someone. Ive gotten most anger techs very well mastered. Deep breathing, relaxing thought , etc. Im just curious is there anything else i can do?

You might want to be checked for Intermittent Explosive Disorder:

Since it hasn't happened in 3 years and you have put some anger management strategies into place - I'd say there's some real growth. But, if you want to grow more - write out some of the typical triggers for your anger - what you are thinking and challenge any hot self-talk with: "he/she is having a bad day"; "I don't need to lose my cool so I look like a fool"; "I can think about this later"; "Its not worth getting angry over", etc. What you are thinking at the time of the incident will either escalate or defuse anger. Anger rears it's head within 1-3 seconds - so taking a time-out to cool down and think through the issues is critical. You've been doing that. Take it to a higher level now. Learn new self-talk and new ways to communicate your feelings through assertiveness and empathy. God bless!
