I take out my anger on my dog?
You really need to seek help, and I dont mean that in a derogatory fashion at all, im being very honest and up front about this... Most of the people that become spousal abusers or domestic offenders of any sorts start out with the abuse of animals early in life. You obviously have alot of misguided anger issues, and instead of resolving them in a healthy manner or taking up the issues with who/what it is that angered you, you take it out on an innocent (in this case your dog) and that is in no way at all healthy... My no BS assessment of this situation is to seek professional help and in the mean time until you get better and find more constructive ways of dealing with your anger, get rid of the dog, take him to the humane shelter or find a loving home for him, but please stop abusing the poor innocent animal. Most people that do that cant deal with there anger in a direct fashion so they take it out on something like your dog... it gives them a sense of power, of control of something, a dominating feeling, but if you dont seek help then later in life it will progress and you will feel the need to be controlling or dominating over people in your life and that will turn into physical abuse of your spouse or children or whomever... I beg you, not only cause I am an animal lover, but also for your sake, please seek professional help before you do cause yourself, your loved ones, or your dog any more harm...
I take all my anger out on my mom?
My mom does absolutely everything for me. But when I don't like the way its done or she forgets to do something i asked her to I always scream at her. And today my dad wouldn't let me go to my friends house and so I took my pills and threatened to down them all(I've been sick and the doctor gave them to me so it would go away) and then she didn't say anything so I threw all them at her and after we picked them I asked her to drive me and she said no. After I walked up to her and slapped her. Then I fell to the floor crying and my hand still hurts. She told me I lost my best friend. I don't know what to do I can't stop crying and I love her more than anything in this world. What should I do?
How can I control my anger?
There once lived a boy who had a bad temper. He would get angry at every little thing. One day, his father gave him a bag of nails and told him, "Every time you get angry, hammer a nail into that front wall."And so the activity started. On the first day, the boy hammered 50 nails. The next day, he hammered 40. Each time he used to go there, he repented being angry - it was quite a challenge to hammer a nail into that damn brick wall! Slowly, he discovered that controlling anger was easier than hammering, and the number of nails hammered started going down.Eventually, a day came when he didn't get angry, and he felt the joy of it. Now his father gave him another task, "If you do not get angry the entire day, remove one nail from the wall." After several days, all the nails were removed.Now his father took him near the wall and asked him what did he see. The boy replied that he can see holes in the wall. The father then explained to his son: "These holes are like the scars that you leave on people when you get angry. No matter how many times you say sorry, the scar does not go."So I suggest you two things:Realize that words once spoken cannot come back. Your anger hurts others and leaves a sour impression that lasts forever.Each time you get angry, "hammer a nail". Simplest thing you can do is to carry a pocket diary and put a line each time you get angry. Then at night, count the number of lines for that day. If you make this a habit, each time you would get angry, you would be reminded to note it down. Indirectly, you would also realize that you getting angry. And because you are conscious and aware at that time, you would find it easier to control your actions and subdue anger.I hope the day comes soon when you don't have any line in your diary.
How can I overcome my anger issue?
Hi, I'm 21 and started piano lessons when I was 18. I love music, and I love my teacher. She gives me so much work to do and I barely have time to practice all of her pieces. I struggle but I see it as a challenge. My problem is that when I can't play something, or forget to play a piece that I could fluently play some months ago, I get soooo pissed off. My breath is getting faster, I feel so much energy all over my body, like I'm about to literally explode. I have a super powerful urge to hit and throw objects on the walls, usually I hit my keyboard but a moment later I feel so bad for what I did. And when I control my body so that I won't smash my piano keys, I start hitting my own body or head or walk around till my body hits itself on a wall. Most of the times I end up crying on the floor with my hands under my armpits, trying to manage all the anger and not explode. Like an anger attack. It usually lasts 5-30 minutes. I have never left any severe injure to myself, but I feel so bad for a while... How can I manage it? It only happens when I practice! I really wanna become a better pianist, but this is going too far, and I struggle to control it. It started this year, because I changed my teacher. The first two years I had a calmer teacher and I would still get angry if I couldn't play something, but not as much. It got worse this year. What should I do? I don't want to tell my teacher anything. I wanna get through it and find joy in practicing classical music again.
PTSD, what do I do with all of this anger?
I have been sober for almost 2 years now (yay me!) but since I've gotten clean, wow, I am angry ALL the time. I will have a lot of blowouts, someone will do something small to irritate me and I will obsess about it and feel rage over it for weeks. It's hard to function with all of this anger in my life, but I don't know what to do with it. I've been getting into art, I have an ED so I've had to stop exercising which hasn't helped :/ Help me, please.
What will happen if I hold my anger in to long?
I am 18 years old. And in these short years I have been living I can never recall a time that I actually expressed my anger. I am a very nice guy, I do get angry but I never show it. I have never been in a fight when there were times I should have fought, there were times I have been called certain things, but I just kept quiet. I have been done wrong and used by so called friends, but never manned up and said anything about it. I dont even get along with my mother who basically raised me by herself, all we do is fight, I might fuss with her and try to get my point across but all she does is make me angrier, but I never express my true anger towards her. I dont know what to do, and I dont know what will happen if I keep holding things in. Help.
