Anger problems
Anybody else suffer from this? For me it's been a problem that's just crept up on me over a number of years. It's based on nothing but pure frustration regarding the way I feel like my physical health problems limit me in life combined with more frustration about how I feel like I've tried really hard at various points in my life relating to both work and relationships and still come out pretty much empty handed.
Now I'm almost always on the verge of explosion, I'm not physically violent I may add, but I do a lot of shouting and swearing (at myself a lot of the time), hitting walls, etc. Right now the only thing holding me back is the considerable amount of Valium I've taken in combination with two different sleeping tablets. I advise anyone against doing the same thing by the way, it can be dangerous. But to be honest I know what I'm doing and how much I can handle. In a way I wish I could just cry instead of get angry, but I also feel like crying is more disruptive and attention seeking (it isn't but it's just a deep rooted thinking pattern of mine). Admittedly another thinking pattern I have is that crying shows weakness (once again it doesn't). Anyway, as I said, just wondering if anybody else gets anything similar and how they deal with it. Because I know Valium ultimately isn't the answer. |

Re: Anger problems
Sometimes depression does turn into anger and frustration, I know I used to get very hostile and snappy when I was depressed. I didn't want anyone to say anything to me and I used to be very sarcastic and negative.

Re: Anger problems
have you tried vigorous exercise Alpha?
that can be good for channelling aggression in a healthy way, I'm sure if your body was exhausted by vigorous exercise on a regular basis you'd find your aggression lessening quite a bit. I'm sure jogging and running in particular can help dispel anger to a degree. I think the issue is that we get frustrated by certain situations,. maybe from low self-esteem or being too reluctant to speak out,.. we put up with certain situations that someone would naturally react and respond to,. but we possibly just keep things inside to avoid conflict,. but your bodies' mechanisms and your psychological responses have already kicked in, you have stifled them to avoid conflict,. but that energy still wants to move, those chemicals have already been released,. that tension in the body is still there, you wanted to respond to a provocation from someone, but as you prefer to avoid conflict and try to remain calm, your body cannot release those reactions, those chemicals, that tension. over time, I think this frustration can mount up and cause a somewhat permanent change in your general mood and psyche. but it's because we are not consciously trying to cathart all these toxins out and release them from our system. if you channel these frustrations through exercise,. maybe your body can attain some kind of psychological de-tox from past issues of pent-up frustration? there's also some techniques for doing this consciously,. deliberately, it was known as 'Dynamic Meditation'. it's basically a way of systematically releasing all your body's pent-up anger and madness and releasing it, so you can eventually just sit peacefully. https://improveyourbrainpower.org/wh...ic-meditation/ |

Thanks again for the suggestion, I'm going to look into this, I've done a fair amount of meditation before but not the type you mention. |
