Anger management!
Sunday, 30 August 2009
I like to think of myself as a fairly calm person, I feel I have had alot to deal with in life, and I always pick myself up, dust myself off and start again.
Okay, so I can almost hear you all scoffing in amazement, and I know I have told you all about a few of the times I have gotten very angry...but that doesn't count, they were all instances of protecting/sticking up for my children, everyone knows that's 'free' anger...
But there are just days when I feel so bloody angry I actually want to jump up and down and have a full blown tantrum.
It's not anything specific, its just a feeling, I don't get it, there are days when people are so rude to me, or so horrid to me, and I can smile and let it go, then there are days when a tiny thing, no-ones doing, can send me over the edge.
I'm pretty good at hiding it (surprise surprise) but where does it go, what happens to the internalised anger???

I know, that happens to me too. Nothing has changed, except maybe the atmosphere.

You sound perfectly normal to me, not that there was any doubt! I have times like this. I think we all do. For whatever reason we can be a bit more sensitive and the anger flows more freely.

Sally--
sometimes jumping up and down really helps--I catch a glance at myself and start laughing at how silly I look. Don't be hard on yourself--you been working overtime taking care of everyone...perhaps, you need a little time to yourself? take care of you--best c

Sally, We sound a lot alike. I think is normal too.
Have you ever tried taking a small pillow and throwing it at a closed door? Had a roommate in college that did that - pretty effective!!!
Be well,
Hugs

I know what you mean. Some days it's just so much harder than others. And it can't ALL be hormones.

I've experienced this to, and it's really annoying. Personally I like to take my anger, internalized or not, out in video games.
There is something very cathartic about firing a machine gun at someone as they fire at you, and because you're just a little bit faster, your elbow to the face lands, and he crumbles to the ground instead of you.
Oddly enough, I've noticed a direct link between level of anger and skill of play, :)
Don't know if this helped, but that's what I do.

Its appears that my method has proved to work.
Sally and blogging friends please have this post as a favourite and refer to it when you are in this mood.
