You need to let your anger out through a differant venue. If possible join a martial arts class or take up something like a sport which will help you release your energy. Also try writing down why your angry.

O I have lotsa anger written in my notebooks. I afraid of society. I work 3rd at a hotel and stay in as much as i can. I rarely even go to the store.

you can yell at me if you would like

you look such a lovely, smiling young woman, why ARE you so angry? do you know? Just dont want you to lose all your family and friends as there is only so much people can take - agreed with a previous post, you can vent in here...:)) hugzz Cathrynn X

Yeah most are gone. Most deserve to be gone. I know why I am angry.

jloz, anger turns inwards, if you know why you are angry, let it out before it turns you from the great person that I am learning to know, into a bitter and twisted old woman. You can rip me apart here if you want. I can't feel any more pain than I already do. (hugs)

How can I help?

Maybe taking Effexor XR, will help you
while you're trying to work through
your anger. This medication, has done
me wonders.

BRAVE

Oh man! PLEEEZE do not shut the world out. I did it. I burned many bridges. It is so very debilitating. DONT DO IT!!

I know how you feel.

I used to deal with a lot of anger myself. Because of abuse that I suffered in my childhood mostly. But it took me several years to learn to deal with my anger. I had a therapist once that told me and others to vent your anger onto a pillow when you need to let it out. So just go into your bedroom and get your pillow and frail the pillow and yell and scream out your anger at the pillow. That way you get rid of the anger and don't subject others to it. It helps you by venting it and helps others by not being the recipient of your anger. Some may deserve it but there may be others who don't. Since you say that you know what the anger comes from, deal with those problems first and then the anger issues if you can. Take it one step at a time and don't allow yourself to get overwhelmed by all of these feelings and emotions that you're feeling.

I dealt with alot of anger and irritability. I talked to my doc about it. He said it goes hand in hand with the depression and mania that my bp2 has. He put me on klonopin. I took it for just those moments that I could feel my blood boiling. It worked.

ah, darlin...anger can eat u alive from the inside out. :(

i used to be SO angry when i was younger....caused me to make very poor decisions...and lose friends.

I give up on it already after 2 weeks. i want to go but have nowhere to go. noone can help just listen and ta lk to me.

I"m not an angry type person myself. I tend to bottle things up which may be just as bad, if not worse, then letting it out in the manner that perhaps you do. I think journaling it is a good way to let off some steam before you actually say something verbally out loud and then regret you said it. I know that meditation is soothing for the soul and that if you can discipline yourself to do that everyday, you will find out that you will soon be slower to anger. Other then that, the old "Count to Ten" thing still works too and is fairly simple thing to do.
