How I got rid of my anger

Years ago I was very very angry and had a lot of rage inside. I knew it wasn’t good to hurt people with my anger so I thought I express it in a healthy way by being aggressive with non-living things like walls chairs tables and tensing up my entire body to try to release it. It didn’t work. It actually made it worse.

The reason why is because all I was doing was finding new ways of expressing my anger instead of actually learning how to release my anger.

The way to release my anger was the way to release all my other fears. It was to feel the sensation of those emotions inside of my body and surrender to them.

I’ve suffered from being an angry person internally for most of my life and only showing it with my girlfriends and whenever I was drunk.

I used to get angry every day and whenever I got angry, I will stay upset for a couple days before I went away.

I’ve gotten angry maybe five times in the last three years. And that was shown by a few moments of yelling. All other disagreements and conflicts were dealt with clear communication and calmness.

For those of you that deal with frustration, and anger, learning how to release it will completely change your life like it did for mine.

Man my anger feels like it’s killing me.

[JWill]

Controlling anger in a heated moment is the toughest test.

[Serpent]

I’m too angry to listen to this guy’s advice

[Arlo-yq]

For me personally, sprinting, lifting weights and boxing are my ways of releasing anger without hurting anyone or anything, it helps
Update: Feb 2024 and I'm more chill now, turns out the reason why I got so angry was because of my deteriorating mental health and I was taking it out on everyone, take care of your mental health y'all

[olgakim]

I believe people who are angry, are angry because they are really hurting.

[ArtByHazel]

Yes. This is one of the healthiest way to release anger instead of projecting it onto people and things. It works!!❤

[sasukesuite]

I have definitely scared off quite a few people by throwing things and smashing things to pieces. I definitely need to work on controlling my anger.

To get rid of anger you need to let yourself feel the sadness your anger is masking

[biscuitbuilder]

Yes, this is what leads to self harm. We feel it, don't let it out- it doesn't go away so we hurt ourselves to feel the release. I see how you're trying to be helpful but it doesn't work for everyone.

No matter how much i try and control my anger, it's really hard for me, when someone says something i don't like, i literally have to say something, i can't keep it in, it's a struggle for me

[anarcho-communist]

Thank u. It's hard to let go of my anger because it's warranted. I think too many people downplay how awful someone treats or treated them as a way to forgive and stop being angry, but that requires denial, and denial isn't healthy either.

[akawave]

Perhaps not the best anger for those of us who suffered trauma and have developed and anger repressive mechanism. We never really smashed anything or got angry at anyone. so now its stored in the body.

[kristinahalmagyi]

This was possibly the most helpful thing I’ve found in a long time. Thank you for sharing.

100%. For me, what helps is to use angry/irritated/frustrated music to do this. And I don't mean screaming heavy metal, I mean music that expresses anger and frustration with the world or in its instruments, whatever that means for you. You'll know it when you find it. It usually only takes one song for me--I put on the headphones when I feel the anger rise, I sit, I close my eyes, and I fully feel the anger in the music.
If you have trouble "looking inward, " that is what I recommend.

[Lexicoley]

I have a lot of anger, bitterness, and resentment for a lot of things, but mostly for my childhood that was filled with to the brim with trauma (mostly medical.) it's something I haven't been able to get passed in decades and I'm terrified I'll be miserable for the rest of my life. What a sad fucking existence, I feel helpless & hopeless literally all the time now even though I'm on multiple medications for mental disorders and seeing a counselor. True happiness, joy, love feels totally unattainable to me.

[altobonifacio]

For me, anger is an energy capable of destroy anything but also construct if redirected to the right subject, is was anger that took me up from a depressing time and gave me strength to seek what's best for myself. Anger gave me the power to change my state of thinking.

[frandarby]

Im 31 now and I am starting to deal with my emotions and feelings differently. Trying to be more aware of how i really feel underneath the anger. And finding positive outlets for it.

[MalouFlorida]

I know the best thing, you got it brother, to be calm and relax, you have to manage it carefully and let it go or release!Amen!❤❤❤

[pinkbottom]

This is by far > The Best way I have ever heard someone address processing Anger, so it doesn’t take up residence in the body. Great advice so you not destroying relationships with family, friends, neighbors, co-workers and helping prevent road rage. 🙌🏽 🙏🏽💚💝

Changing my environment is the key on how I became more calm. I used to live with my family and I am always angry because the house is not clean, I'm very tired from work, and constant noise that I'm hearing. Everything changed when I work in dubai. I live with my boarder mates and I noticed that I became very calm and quite. When someone got angry to me I'll just either shrugged it of, say sorry even though i did nothing wrong or express to the person that I'm sad. I just want to get over it immediately before my mind go crazy and express my anger.
