Anger management

Ever felt that feeling, that too much rage that you can imagine and wish to kill that someone who made you mad. There were times when I can feel too much anger that I can't think too much and felt the pain and anger and that eagerness to hurt that someone who hurt or shouted and say bad things to me. I try to control my anger and just walk away, but that grudge that forms inside me creates a pain and anger and just like a ghost it hunts me. I wish I can manage my emotions that easily. They said that forgetting the past is a gift, I guess I didn't received that gift... I want to create this discussion not only to help myself but also to help other people to control their anger or to wishes to control their emotions and maybe somehow we can form a small group that wishes to make a difference for themselves.

Yes, there were times that I should slow down whenever I am angry... Being angry makes our system produce chemicals not good for our body... so we must slow down... We should have that gift...

I've heard that anger, stress and other negative emotions produce chemicals that is bad for our body. But the problem is, we are humans and emotions are natural to us, maybe the good thing to do is to focus on our goals so that we won't have to think to those people and events that gave us those negative feelings

I feel the same way, especially when you are expecting things to run smoothly as you wanted it and how you have planned it, it definitely ruins your entire day. Often times, at the long run, even those people around you are being affected, your spouse, children, people at your work place, at school if you're a student, all the relationships. Moreover you will not be able to do all your tasks because you will lose your focus, which is very important. It doesn't only create pain towards you but also to others. especially when you tend to do or say things, that are not usually acceptable.

Exactly, and also the feeling that you want to run away and just leave everything behind. It sucks to feel that kind of emotion. The feeling that you wanted to hit that person who makes you mad. One time I punched the wall with my right hand because of my anger and got a fracture. It's kind a stupid but after I did that, I feel a bit relaxed. So how do you deal when you're in a "hot" situation?

I also often hit the wall and scream out loud at times, sure it felt good,but it's definitely painful, especially i'm a girl. But other times, I find myself diverting my anger to eating foods, or playing video games. But when the situation gets a little more tough than what my emotions can handle,I would just drove out from home and find a place far from the tension. A nice and quiet place where I can relax, and just think about nothing. It feels like a heavy burden, when you are faced with situations like that, but it just comes along with life, and you just got to have a way to overcome it.

You want to control your emotions about anger.It is very difficult to analyze how you could manage to avoid too much anger.When you are angry your blood pressure also increases that makes you more angry to the person your are angry with.When you are angry you must eat some fruit like bananas so that you anger would be minimized as an reaction of our body due to its content a banana is very essential in controlling our emotions of anger,then drink some water to really makes you calm and you are no longer angry.

That's a new one, I didn't know that banana can control our emotions of being angry. But I know that banana is a good source of potassium that helps to reduce high blood pressure and it can affect our emotions to be happy. well, back to the topic maybe it is also a good way to help people control their anger.

That is correct my friend that you must be very patient to be more lenient when you become angry to anyone you encounter.

I guess we all have been to this situation getting angry, our instantaneous reaction to anything that annoys or irritates us. Getting angry affects our judgement and sometimes a feeling of exhaustion. Controlling one's anger is really hard but it can be minimized using presence of mind. In this way it could help us control our emotion, the anger is still there but you can confront it in a mild manner.

I agree with you, but how can you have a presence of mind when the situation get so intense? hm~ but I agree with everything you said, but like they said, it is easier to say than done so~ hehe maybe a wide mind will do

A good way to manage our anger is to leave the scene of the misunderstanding and then walk to another quiet corner.

Yes I also do that sometimes, but you can not easily forget the thing that happened, i think it is effective if the situation is not so intense and the fault is with you.

Yes,I know the feeling. In fact my friends say that I have quite a temper. There are times when I am so angry that it's either walk aways or hurt someone. I experienced punching bathroom walls (yeah, hurts really bad after), throwing dishes (wince) and just walk away (temporarily) from the things that makes me angry. The punching and throwing objects rarely happens. What usually happens when I'm angry is cry (tears of frustration, which I really can't help), listen to music and try to divert my emotions from anger like reading books or going to a happy place in my mind (usually a peaceful scene like the beach or the mountain). Prayer, running and sometimes just being still really helps. I give myself time to cool my head before thinking about the subject which made me angry. Usually if given space, I see it in the different perspective afterwards.

I also do all of that, and I also did that "punching the wall" thing and I got a fracture because of that. Everything you said is the same with me. Now i try to focus in my goals so I won't have to deal so much about the past and just to forget everything. I notice you're from Philippines too, maybe we're both short tempered because of the climate xD

LOL... i don't know about that, maybe you're right about the climate since i noticed that my temper is really shortened in hot weather and when I can't do things in the way i wanted to do them. :P

There I days when something or someone fills me up with such a rage... then usually I listen to angsty songs shouting the lyrics or write in my blog, these usually do the trick for me. I try not to show those people who hurt me how angry I am, but that, yes, creates this big inner pain...

Its part of us to be angry. But sometimes we need to balance our emotions. Its more of how you respond to certain situation.

How you respond to a certain situation is the key of controlling your emotions, but the problem is, as a human being, there are certain events in our lives when we forget to think and start exploding and controlled by our emotions..
