News of Anger Management

this is probably not much a light bulb moment to others who have discovered this already, but for me it was a big sobering realization. I often thought that others actions, quirks, comments, character traits, etc were what was causing my anger. That it was OTHER's fault that was triggering me.

BUT- I've come to realize that ultimately I'm furious with life in general because I"M just not happy. I think I'm in a deep ...

I wrote some words on another forum that had to be edited by a moderator, rightfully so. I was discussing bad choices I might make because of my anger. That is, actions I might take in not dealing with my anger proactively, but rather letting it bubble to the surface unintentionally. :evil:

Anger is energy. It must be harnessed for good & channeled positively. ...

Has anyone else stopped driving due to their own anxiety and road rage? Lately I have not been driving as much as I used to unless it’s a doctor or therapy appointment. It’s because I have horrible road rage and I’m scared I’m going to get myself into an accident. I don’t feel I can control myself when on the road. It’s obviously not possible to say I’ll never drive again but I wish I ...

My father is suffering from some form of mental illness. It has never officially been diagnosed, but from his behaviour there is no doubt in my mind that he is not well.

He is a very angry person, and hardly a day passes by when he doesn't lash out over something. And the way he is and speaks is very self-centered. He constantly gets upset over people disrespecting him. The most important thing in his ...

My therapist has recommended Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and suggested I read The Happiness Trap. The book advises that rather than constrict emotions, you should expand them. To do this it talks about focusing on one emotion that you are feeling, "breathing" into that emotion, giving it as much space in you as it wants, and accepting it as just the sensation that it is. It says you shouldn't judge the emotion at all, ...

I don't feel loved and this makes me angry.

All borns an evening when I was talking with a woman about when I' drunk, get mad and have bad behaviors; and I was so sorry with who received this version of me.
She said the solution was less drinking, obviously; but now I'm thinking about it.
Except that i can't even talk with confidence if I don't drink "much", but I was thinking that probably ...

Background

I live in an overcrowded developing country where the legal system is full of corruption and is a joke. Also, people's basic level of decency is very low. Sometimes I feel that it is a jungle with mindless animals trying to kill each other. Anyone with money can use it to manipulate the legal system, bribe authorities, buy services of goons and basically do whatever they want, regardless of what common sense and the ...

I'll be telling a short story about myself and my past because I have had repeating anger symptoms in certain games/sports.

When I was 14 I was on my Highschool baseball team. I played outfield and hit 4th in the lineup, I had a great start to the season, but then I had a small slump for a few games. I continued to have this slump and I got angrier every time I struck out ...

I feel like I'm in a state right now where I'm almost afraid to talk about anything, sometimes more than others. Because... well, if I am irritated or angry about something, then I do sometimes want to talk about it to get it "off my chest" or blow off steam.

But.... I've found that I want to do that less and less now, because I have noticed that my family and friends have only had ...
