I experience flash anger and intense rage when things upset me. Not all the time, but usually when all the little things build up and then I finally snap. I usually hit something, like a wall or pillow. I've never hit anyone, nor has anyone ever really seen that side of me. It usually comes out when I'm alone and I drop a load of towels I've just folded, or bang my foot on a chair or something simple like that. When it comes to the fight or flight reaction, I'm ALL FIGHT. I want to change this about myself. Has anyone else experienced the same thing and have you found ways to fix it? Any insights would be appreciated.
first lets say you ang your toe, what i do is curse myself out and laugh about it, i call myself a stupid klutz and a clumsey idiot and limp around the apartment making a joke to myself. If you drop something say to yourself loudly that your an old fart who cant bend down anymore and roll around the floor.
believe it ornot the anger is being transferred to another emotion and it works. Let me know what happens
