Anger Management Support Group
Anger management commonly refers to therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger can control or reduce their emotions. Typical examples include the use of deep breathing and meditation as a means to relaxation. Psychologists recommend a balanced approach, which both controls the emotion and allows it to express itself in a healthy way.
So it has been awhile since i've posted here but my temper has become even shorter lately. I get enraged just by being around people or someone looking at me in the store. I enjoy staying home because I literally feel like I hate people (except those in my life who I love). I'm sure it's a part of my depression but some days I just want to be on the planet by myself! Has anyone else experienced this?
When I get so irritated that I have to check myself and bring myself down, I like to do a grounding exercise. I count 5 things that i can see, 4 things that I can hear, 3 things I can touch, 2 things smell, and 1 thing that's in my control. It helps get me out of my head and back to reality. Because it's not really a them thing, it's a me thing. And the only person I can control is myself.
hope this helps
