Help for Anger Management

Mediation is also an option. The more mindful you become of your thoughts and can see them in the distance entering into your awareness like a freight train - the more you realize you don't need to become that thought process - you can decide to let it go right through the station. In mediation you let it go by; in work and life scenarios you do the same, but then consciously replace it with a different action. Make conscious actions, rather than default reactions.

Honestly, Most things. I'm just a very unhappy person. Children and animals make me happy. But recently dealing with idiots has made me super grumpy and unhappy. Like I'd rather be on my own for the whole day than listen to someone at work say one sentence.

Try to find what those things have in common. Sometimes the things we are most unhappy about are the things we don't want to admit to ourselves.

Is there a sudden mood change out of the blue?
Does the situation warrant the outburst?
Is the outburst proportional with the situation?

As an example: You work on the car and you hit your finger against something when using the spanner. Instead of just swearing and moving on, you go ape shyte, smash the windscreen kick the fender and things like that?

Read up on Intermitted Explosive Disorder. I have been diagnosed with this a few years ago and on meds for it. The meds are working and I'm a new person. I used to go ape shyte for the smallest thing. Kids would drop a cup off the table and I would flip out so much that I would throw the cup against a wall and swear at them for no reason what so ever. But you can feel the mood before you have such an explosion and I started avoiding my family when that mood was over me. When in that foul mood the smallest possible thing can send you off the rails.

What Meds did they put you on?
