Managing Intense Anger

[LivingOxymoron]

I feel like each day my patience is becoming more thin and I have a low tolerance for problematic situations that could have been avoided. My current job, constantly put me situations when problems could have been avoided if task were effectively distributed. I think I reached the point in my life where I can't tolerate working for negligent leaders, unfortunately I'm not able to produce enough income through self employment yet, due to my financial circumstances and living conditions. Waiting in line for food or check out has become unbearable. I feel so angry as if I'm going to lose control like the marvel character Hulk. I'm scared I'll do something I'll regret.

I feel the same way at times. Like the world can get dumber by the minute. I have to stop myself and remember this quote:

"Give me the strength to accept the things I can not change, The courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

Sometimes it is just not worth giving up your inner peace for the mistakes of others. Put yourself first, don't let your anger get the best of you, you are worth more than that!

Be strong and Be well.

I have experienced such at times and still do but there are things that i have tried and have seen them work like the breathing exercises. U can download from the app store, there is one called Prana breath. It controls ur breathing which inturn control your Emotions. The other apps i have used are sleeping sounds nature apps which creates diff ambience. They help in controlling Emotions bcz our thoughts changes frequently which affects our Emotions therefore need to control the breath.

Thank you for app suggestion, will try. I find it hard to breathe when angered, so hopefully this will help

That true, there is nothing as stressing as breathing deep in and out but I have realized that doing it while angry calms anger down. Now I have decided to alarm it and I do it twice a day even when I don't need it which helps when that strong emotion comes back. What I luv abt it thou is that there is anti-stress, anti-smoke, anti-appetite and many more which I have tried and to be honest really did work. Gud luck.

Try counting to 10, or 20, or 30. Then make some excuse to get away from whatever or whoever is triggering you. At least you are holding down a job, I haven't worked in years, other people bring me down too.

[LivingOxymoron in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for suggestion, my mind is so clouded with anger from the triggers I'm unable to count, but I'll try. It is very difficult to maintain this job, I understand why you haven't worked in years. I think working remotely, minimal interaction, and independent job work is more suited for me.

Maybe sometimes it's not so much about anger, but maybe you're feeling a lot of anxiety and the way you express it is you feel irritated???? Because I can be very irritable when honestly I'm feeling really nervous and anxious, but I don't want anyone else thinking I'm weak so then I come across like I'm mean. Grrrrr...... .
