Don't sweat the small stuff.  If you do then alot of times it turns into big stuff unneccessarily.\nFor the real anger:\n1) Realize what triggers anger in you - a feeling of inferiority, personal injury or humiliation, not being able to be heard, etc.\n2)  Realize when you begin to get angry - thoughts begin to race, focus is not on what the person is saying or doing anymore but how to get back at them, not listening but instead waiting for your turn to talk, bringing up irrelevant things to the issue at hand, etc.\n3)  Realize when communication has completely broken down - again most of what is in #2.\n4)  Take control of yourself instead of trying to control the situation - don't be afraid to take a time-out and revisit the issue later (this requires an agreement with whoever IN ADVANCE)\n5)  Always respect the other person as you would want to be respected, even if they are not doing the same for you!\n\nAll of these points take work, but practice makes perfect.\nGood luck!  These steps work but you must want to change.

Take it out on a punching bag or go for a long run.\n\nBoth of these remedies for anger have done wonders for me and they will for you 2 if you do them every day, or at least when you are the most angry.\n\nIf you have these much needed physical outlets for your anger that don't involve hurting other people or yourself, you will soon find yourself in control of your anger, and your anger will no longer be in control of you.\n\nP.S. - buy one of the heavier punching bags, and use it for the times you are most angry and need the quickest release activity for it.

Encourage him to get some counseling and some anger management classes. Unfortunately, there is nothing else you can do. He needs to make strides to get himself emotionally better. And the pain is not going to just go away, he needs to talk to a trained professional that will assist him in dealing with his feelings and moving forward with his life. Good luck and God bless*

Try to be thankful for what you do have and focus on what is good in your life. As for the eating gum helps and try to eat more vegetables and less sweets and fats.  exercise can help with the anger also.  I hope this helps!!

I have a very bad temper. I find this very annoying, because every time some one insults me, i embarrass myself. Eg. When I was away at a camp with my friends, we were sitting in the cafeteria eating lunch with around 230 others near us, when I got \nreally angry at one of my friends. I stood up, fists clenched and \nsaid "I am going to kill you" she returned "Id like to see you try" To my later annoyance, I then raised my voice and repeated " I am going to kill you", Until one of my other friends next to me calmed me down. This is a very personal subject and to show your gratitude, could you please vote for me, as I have trouble talking about my temper with others.

Lower your sodium intake on a daily basis. Every time you feel anger beginning to develop try holding your breathe for as long as you can.... it will temporarily restrain anger and help you develop a rational outlook tourd the situation. Take your multi-vitamins... When ever our bodies are under nourished we usually respond to it in a negative way and blame it on the situation at hand. Try weight lifting it definitely helps alot with anger and stress... BIG TIME. The last thing I really want suggest is a supplement called ''Rhodiola extract '' this stuff helped me out dramatically and I have felt much better ever since.

No joke - I had a friend who went to anger management classes and I went with him for support one night and the instructor told the class that the best way to curb your anger streak is to have plenty of sex - She claimed the release of endorphines keeps a person from being angry - the more sex you have the more peaceful you become she said - needless to say my friend tried to use this as a means to get laid - I did not oblige him - and not getting laid only made him angrier and we stopped being friends so I dont know if plenty of sex really works to fend of anger but its worth a shot as long as you wont loose a friend over it!!!

Talk with her.  You need to get counseling for anger management.  If she is willing to stay with you then let her know whats going on, she may need to join you at some point.  If not, you still need to get counseling for yourself and for any future relationships.

I guess you need to talk to.....YOURSELF!\nAsk yourself a few questions like:\nWhy do I want to be with someone who brings out my anger?\nWhat makes me hold onto a failed relationship?\nWhere is my anger coming from and who is it really directed at?\nWho else makes me feel so angry?\nDo I want to keep this pattern going or am I ready for change?\nIts really hard to change choices in men, and it takes a great deal of personal insight, so get to work!

The first thing is, you need to recognize the problem which you have. \n\nI used to struggle with that too. I had a lot that went on in my life that was no good. I talked to a counselor and told him that I am an angry person. He told me that I am a good person, but I need to get my anger under control\n\nHe told me to remember that we choose our emotions whether we know it or not. He said that there is no point in getting angry over something that we have no control of and it is especially important that we don't not lash out at our loved ones. \n\nMaybe you should try counseling for a while. \nI feel for you and I think it's awesome that you are willing to admit that you have a temper problem. A lot people don't have the guts to do that. THey think that everyone else is the problem

Well, it's up to you to find out the source of your anger. After you've done that, you should come up with a plan for how to handle the situation that provokes your anger -- like walk away, or think of squirrels like the one in my profile picture. It's really hard to remember this plan when the situation arises, but you have to beat it in there somehow.\n\nPerhaps the source of your anger isn't an event, but just an accumulation of events. If that's the case, take a vacation somewhere. Take some time off alone to relax -- isolate yourself from the things that anger you. Take up a hobby that'll allow you to vent your anger/frustrations. I actually highly recommend you weight-train or take up martial arts/boxing -- it does wonders for us guys, trust me.\n\nAnd lastly, LIGHTEN UP. LET THINGS GO. TURN EVERY BAD SITUATION INTO A COMICAL ONE. Not everything is perfect or goes as planned, so sometimes you just gotta sit and enjoy the ride.

ANGER MANAGEMENT 101\n\nWhen you occasionally have a really bad day, and you just need to take it out on someone, don't take it out on someone you know -- take it out on someone you don't know. \n\nI was sitting at my desk when I remembered a phone call I had forgotten to make. I found the number and dialed it. \n\nA man answered, saying, "Hello." \n\nI politely said, "Could I please speak with Robin Carter?" \n\nSuddenly, the phone was slammed down on me. \nI couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude. \nI realized I had called the wrong number. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had accidentally transposed the last two digits of her phone number. \n\nAfter hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again. \n\nWhen the same guy answered the phone, I yelled, "You're an a_s_s_hole!" and hung up. \n\nI wrote his number down with the word 'asshole' next to it, and put it in my desk drawer. \n\nEvery couple of weeks,when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, "You're an a_s_s_hole!" \nIt always cheered me up. \n\nWhen Caller ID came to our area, I thought my therapeutic 'a_s_s_hole' calling would have to stop. \n\nSo, I called his number and said, "Hi, this is John Smith from the Telephone Company. I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with the Caller ID program?" \n\nHe yelled, "NO!" and slammed the phone down. \n\nI quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're an a_s_s_hole!" \n\nOne day I was at the store, getting ready to pull into a parking spot. \nSome guy in a black BMW cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for... I hit the horn and yelled that I had been waiting for that spot. \n\nThe idiot ignored me. \n\nI noticed a "For Sale" sign in his car window, so, I wrote down his number. \n\nA couple of days later, right after calling the first a_s_s_hole ( I had his number on speed dial), I thought I had better call the BMW a_s_s_hole, too. \n\nI said, "Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?" \n\n"Yes, it is." \n\n"Can you tell me where I can see it?" \n\n"Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house, and the car's parked right out in front." \n\n"What's your name?", I asked. \n\n"My name is Don Hansen," he said. \n\n"When's a good time to catch you, Don?" \n\n"I'm home every evening after five." \n\n"Listen, Don, can I tell you something?" \n\n"Yes?" \n\n"Don, you're an a_s_s_hole." \n\nThen I hung up, and added his number to my speed dial, too. \n\nNow, when I had a problem, I had two a_s_s_holes to call. \n\nBut after several months of calling them, it wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. \n\nSo, I came up with an idea. I called Asshole #1. \n\n"Hello." \n\n"You're an a_s_s_hole!" (But I didn't hang up.) \n\n"Are you still there?" he asked. \n\n"Yeah," I said. \n\n"Stop calling me," he screamed. \n\n"Make me," I said. \n\n"Who are you?" he asked. \n\n"My name is Don Hansen..." \n\n"Yeah? Where do you live?" \n\n"Asshole, I live at 1802 West 34th Street, a yellow house, with my black Beamer parked in front." \n\nHe said, "I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers." \n\nI said, "Yeah, like I'm really scared, a_s_s_hole." \n\nThen I called A_s_s_hole #2. \n\n"Hello?" he said. \n\n"Hello, a_s_s_hole," I said. \n\nHe yelled, "If I ever find out who you are...!" \n\n"You'll what?" I said. \n\n"I'll kick your a_s_s," he exclaimed. \n\nI answered, "Well, a_s_s_hole, here's your chance. I'm

Find out the source of your anger through introspection, and work through eliminating the stresses or causes of the anger.  This may require some life changes (elimination of boyfriends or husbands, changing jobs, or even moving away from people).... so be prepared to make changes, or stay angry.\n\nIn the short term, I recommend Yoga, meditation, envisioning the beach or a meadow and put yourself there, hiding under your desk for a few minutes, or cuddling in bed with a teddy bear.

The only thing you can do is try and control your temper, what you are going through is perfectly normal a bit exaggerated by that is what happens to everyone when angry. You might also want to consider taking blood pressure medications. Consult a doctor for that.

Violence - Get a punching bag & beat the crap out of it. It will help relieve the anger and hate for a while. Hit the gym hard, work out your emotional pain physically. You will be too tired to be bitter. \n\nRemember the beautiful things in life and go visit scenery that makes you happy. Be with people who make you happy-friends,family \n\nhope it works out.\n\nMy bitterness & hate is only for one person- my ex. Those things help me for a bit.

either suppressed anger\nor life conditions that are beyond your control that are preventing you from thriving.\n\nfrustration turns into depression\n\nchange the environment, life conditions that are causing it.  form new relationships, new ways of making money, new living environment, etc. \n\nfor the anger thing, get away from the thing that is making you angry or deal with it in some way to resolve it.

Being angry or getting angry  -  is it Negative? \nThis topic affords a very lively discussion in any group. \nAnger as such is both an asset and a liability when taken to or beyond logical ends. \nIt is an intense emotion when  some times or at times, one loses control over self and wins an argument and loses the friendship, which he values most. Then starts regret and remorse.\nSome other time, anger is an asset, the onset of which, keeps others in check and controls the situation by itself. Only thing is that it should not last long, enough to disturb the possessor.\nAlong the line, the group can also discuss "Short-temper" and its positives and negatives. How it is different from anger etc.,
