Subreddit to help people who struggle with anger issues. Mods delete posts that are about struggling with anger issues. Huh?????? Whatever, just ban me already i really dont care

Im a 24M and I feel like im constantly angry even though I don’t have a reason to be. I’m just pissed off.

So I am a 20F and I live with my boyfriend 20M, but we live with 20M’s brother and brother’s girlfriend. I am extremely close to both of them and they are very understanding towards my feelings and the situation. They know exactly how he is and apparently he has been like this since a child, but emotions/mental health was never a topic in his family. His dad basically taught him “boys don’t cry”, so that mentality is already a lot to unpack. My question is if anyone has any advice on how to help a person who gets so mad at the game to the point of breaking/hitting things and yelling? My boyfriend is a very big rager when it comes to games, noted he does have anger issues/ADHD and I am very understanding towards that. It’s just now we’re at a point where multiple things are getting broken, things I’ve paid for with my own money. I personally struggle with c-ptsd and other illnesses that make it hard for me to stay in the same room as him when he rages and I get extremely anxious. So i’m just at a stand-still, we’ve had the same conversation over and over about how it’s an issue because of how it’s making me feel/the damage to our things. He promises and apologizes over and over again, with no change whatsoever. Last night it was about 1-2am and I went to go to sleep in the living room because he was starting to hit things and getting loud. I’ve tried telling him that I can help him find more ways to calm down or prevent himself from getting that angry. That if he comes to me then I will help, but he has continued not to come to me. I realize it could also just be him really not wanting to change but I genuinely feel like he could get help for this. I just need advice on how to deal with it or what ways that can help. I do not believe this warrants me leaving him at this point because he has also handled a lot of my mental health issues. Anger issues are very real and I would rather help him deal with his emotions than treat them like he just needs to get over it. Please try to be kind and respectful, very much appreciated.

Long story short I tend to get angry at myself when family or people close to me get angry and raise their voices at me. Most common example is when my partner is upset at me. Reason seems to be me feeling maligned/helpless/cornered.

I used to hit my head on the wall or scream out my frustration into a towel in the bedroom when this happened. I’m on meds (for a different condition not related to anger, for mood stabilization) and have had therapy. I still want to hurt myself or act out when I get furious or feel threatened/helpless but now I’ll cry into a pillow quietly or make small cuts on my ankles or feet in secret.

My reasoning is that it’s better than a very loud or destructive way of venting my anger like what I did before. I know it’s similar to controlled aggression but I wish I didn’t feel the need to vent this seemingly overwhelming anger in the first place!

I would like a better way to calm myself down in the immediate moment and I wish I didn’t feel this disproportionate anger. What are some ways to regulate or moderate anger, in the immediate 10 minutes of a trigger? ://

hey..so idk how to even start explaining this.. i'm in therapy atm but i feel like it made my rage worse. i had a few situations in the last week where i got so angry- mostly when i got accused of stuff i didnt do- and i just went off the rails.. screaming, cursing..i felt like i need to defend myself and afterwards i felt so ashamed :( for the longest time i burried my feelings (especially rage and sadness) and i just felt so empty. and stuff like that happening would just make me insecure and question myself but never THAT angry.

i got angry in intimate relationships but never outside of that and not that often.. and now i'm left feeling that i'm just this angry person that goes off at things and i hate it. i just feel like the worst person and so cruel and like i'm not kind and everyone would be better off without me

like i hate everything happening around me

anyone ever experience that or similar after being empty for the longest time? i started to open up in therapy in terms of showing my vulnerable feelings, i even cried.. before i was very much joking around most of the time

so this feels related in a way bc i finally felt the things that hurt me so much in the past

this shit scares me .. i'm so afraid that i'm a bad Person and just didnt let myself feel it before and now it all gets out.. idk if any of this makes sense

would appreciate some thoughts on this x

(english is not my first language so sorry for any mistakes or bad grammar)

When I was younger I despised everyone and everything, I was always angry. I accidentally made some decisions in life that changed this, and for the past 10 years, I have been a fountain of patience and positivity. It sounds dumb but I was genuinely very happy, never lost my temper, never felt the way I did. I thought I had solved it and understood. I was super wrong. I lost my job, and my field became relatively obsolete. I'm starting from scratch and it has all come back in the blink of an eye. Ive realized the thing that made me happy was having control over my day, feeling like my job was meaningful, that my hard work was appreciated, and above all else that my work moved me forward not just socializing. My job is more stable now, but is tedious and meaningless. I have tried to get moved but it has become clear my manager has no intentions of doing this. The thing I hate the most about being this angry, is how it compels you to make the wrong decisions. To snap and make things worse. I hate how hard it is to fight that feeling

I know, I absolutely know I shouldn’t do this and that it’s not good and also consequences depending on what happened.

my dumbarse is idk what it’s doing.… nothing great. just randomly going between meh and chill and pissed the f off for no good reason.

Im not sure how to chill back down

and I need to..workingnon breathing exercises though but I’m just pissed off at everything like my keyboard got angry? pissed off at that. not much else right now honestly. some guy kept being weird in a car behind me and I just blasted my music really loud. Shouldntve but it’s better than road rage or whatever

​

is it okay to feel the strong urge to hurt people, no not just hurt I wanna end someone l_ife. I can even imagine the exact scene, how to what time and how can I hide the body it self or even the evidence

At first it never like this, when I was youg Ihave this feeling of emptiness, but no i'm not lacking of emotions —although there are times where I can't help but ask my self why aim I so detach to people, I cry yes but not from sadness mostly from so much annoyance anger and embarrassment

I'm always been like this, even when I'm young the only way I can express my anger and frustration is by destroying things, or even hurting our pets ( sorry guys I was young at that time and she scratch me ) and when other people aligth me it's either I sabotaged them or hurt them back .

And now at the last stage of being a teen, there are times where I ten to imagine what it would feel, to finally try that . I don't really know why. At first it's due to some trauma ( yes I lived a good life ) but no it didn't affect me that much so I'm really curious why.

You can al give me some opinion since I'm curious

Small rant post, in the highway when I was driving I was next to a persons car that was blinking & it was already too late to move back for them. But then that person gave me the meanest death stare ever. I just wanted to meet that guy & say “What’s the matter with you? Calm down.”

I had the biggest meltdown at this intersection this morning. The intersection is low traffic and low priority so the light is usually mostly green and only red for a short amount of time. Until this past week when the light pattern changed and started to stay red for a lot longer than necessary and green for a shorter amount of time. It got really bad this morning when it was backing up traffic and the cars were not accelerating fast enough to get through the green so I ended up being stuck for 3 light cycles. I got so fucking mad about this that I cut into the left lane and ended up crossing the intersection while the light was red. Turns out there were construction workers fixing one of the lights and they waved their arms at me.

God I seriously have serious anger issues it’s been getting so bad while I’m driving that I’m getting more confident into doing stupid shit like this. Will I have to get arrested to finally learn my lesson and stop this shit? Maybe I might get arrested for this, I know the intersection doesn’t have a camera but I might get tracked down by a flock camera or something. It’s what I deserve, I live such a spoiled life but I’m so depressed and mentally ill I just fucking break down anyway and do stupid shit.

I’m very nasty when I drink. I black out most of the time when I’m out with other people. I caused issues with me and my ex ( part of the group ). Now they all blocked me and told me they want nothing to do with me. Are they right to not want to be my friend because I black out ?

I get angry very easily, sometimes even over small things. The strange part is that when I am alone, I sometimes imagine situations or arguments in my head, and then I actually get angry about them even though they are not real.

I know these situations are only in my head, but the anger still feels real.

For people who have dealt with this, what actually helped you reduce this kind of anger?

I’m looking for practical methods I can use when I notice myself getting angry, not just general advice like “calm down” or “think positively.”

What do you do in the moment? And what habits helped you become less angry over time?
