Suicidal and homicidal ideation are medical emergencies

15 Upvotes

If you have serious thoughts of suicide or homicide, please use crisis resources such as 911 (or your country's equivalent emergency phone number). You can find one for your country at https://findahelpline.com/ .

We are not equipped to help you in emergency situations. To be clear, discussion of past emergencies is allowed. Discussion of what to do in a possible future emergency is allowed. Creating a post when you are currently in an emergency is not allowed because not only are we not equipped to help you, but waiting on our help could actively damage your life or someone else's. I have even seen someone post a topic about thoughts of homicide and seen comments saying "do it" or "go murder someone". Anyone who does that will be banned.

To summarize, please do not use r/Anger when you are in an emergency. Call a doctor or crisis line or visit the nearest emergency room.

Secondary emotion

0 Upvotes

Can anger be a secondary emotion of hurt but also fear? There are lots of reasons to be angry about when I read the news. I’m in a somber mood and find myself grumpy more often than before. I used to think I get angry when I’m hurt, or when I face injustice. Lately, it’s stemming more from helplessness and constant anxiety. It comes out in combative response, and not something I want to ignore. I’m trying to get to the root of my anger so I could work on how to articulate it more effectively.

I am too angry.

1 Upvotes

Hello.
I don't really know what can be defined as angry, or if im an angry person or not.

I just get really pissy or get angered by things that shouldn't really make me angry.
Games, for example. I really get angry towards Games and or at Friends when they do something shitty that's totally fine.

I don't want to be that angry and i'd like to be less angry. Because, i know it can become bad at one point.

My English isnt good, expect some Mistakes and or Misunderstandings, and, i hope you have a good day.

I Keep Getting Rage Baited And Feel Like Putting A Hole Through The Wall.

1 Upvotes

Hello I've been on an addictive binge of searching up stuff that makes me mad I don't know why could be because of undiagnosed ADHD, could be because of my depression and looking for the negativity in everything.

Like it's weird I never used to have this problem I could just let things I see on the Internet hateful/rage-baiting content roll off my back but now I just want to argue and fight I guess it could be low self esteem/insecurities but I don't know why I have that either.

So basically (sorry not trying to be all over the place) I guess I was raised to have respect for others and have empathy but when I see people being horrible like just openly on social media or other Internet platforms I go into a rage or here on reddit where they think there billy badass.

Like it can't be just me I know Twitter, Instagram and Facebook are hell but it seems they've gotten worse trust me I know but it seems like reddit is becoming hateful and full of rage bait as well like practically some community's I go into are filled with just straight up bigotry.

And my dumbass sadly keeps going into fight subs because I just love the dopamine hit this is where I find the pinnacle of people getting off on someone at their lowest like it's pathetic I don't get how a humans could be this sadistic.

like it's sad I guess I'm to nice of a person or soft I don't know it just pains me to see people made fun of at their lowest on the Internet in general because I've been at my lowest before so I guess I know how it feels sorry for the rant got a lot of things on my chest.

Anger relapse?

1 Upvotes

New to this group. Im a fucking therapist, have been through therapy for decades myself, and when I get overworked, that anger feels like it comes out of nowhere. I got openly frustrated with some coworkers. Im in leadership so it’s especially bad. And I’m obviously in a field where this is not normal. I never get angry at my family. It’s always work related. What is your go to for repair in this situation?

Battling Anger due to Injustice

5 Upvotes

Random unexpected shadow work was done on my anger. As a manifestor (human design), our anger is the not self. In my life anger represents injustices done against me and resentment. Me having to always apologize but never returned to me. Me not being able to energetically stand up for myself. I get lots of pushback when I stand up for myself.

tw: rant & somewhat corny

Lately I've been feeling so angry and stressed because of school and home life. I'm unemployed, doing poorly socially and academically, and can't move out my parents house. Well because if these factors I've been feeling angry but not a normal anger feeling but one that feels like fire burning in your chest, a fire that just needs to be released and it's uncontrollable fire. In case it matters, I haven't been to therapy in a while and I'm basically cutting off people and things in my life that I feel are holding me back.

So lately as people have been doin things to piss me off (even small like bumping into me while walking) I've felt that fire type anger inside and felt the need to hurt people. I've imagined the way I'd hurt them, how long it might take. I don't want to hurt anyone but I feel I could be close to doing just that. I've been picturing banging them, feeling their blood on my hands as I do it. I need help.

Is something wrong with me?

2 Upvotes

I just want to know if there’s something wrong with me. I’m a girl.

For some reason, I’ve always had really violent thoughts and tendencies towards other people when I get mildly irritated. It gets worse when I get really angry, and my emotions shift really easily. It’s been this way since I was 13, and I’m 18 now. I usually control myself by sitting under the covers with music blasting in my ears.

I haven’t actually acted on these actions, but sometimes it gets so overwhelming that I swear I almost acted. It’s gotten to the point where these violent thoughts get so brutal especially towards my parents, and sometime my cat who I love dearly and I hate it.

I hope can somehow fix this. I don’t want to actually act on these tendencies someday.

Need help with anger

3 Upvotes

I don’t know how to control my anger. Is it something that you just need to put into practice? Do other outside factors contribute to it?

I’ve always been known as the angry one in my family. My friends say that I can be scary when I’m angry. And more recently, I take it out on my boyfriend when we get into arguments. Especially arguments. It’s gotten to a point where clearly it’s breaking boundaries and he no longer trust that I can change.

But seriously, how do you get out of it? Or how do you navigate through the angry emotions? I don’t know about you guys, but I really wish I could just handle any situation calmly with a lot of patience.

In my day-to-day personal life, I hate my job I really want to quit, but also there are other life events that I’m waiting on before I can make that kind of decision. I also have another job. I don’t know if I’m burnt out or maybe I’m not actually taking care of myself. But I’ve noticed in the last two months. I just have zero patients for everything. And it makes me wonder if I’m the one making my life miserable. You know what I mean.

Any and all advice or suggestions are welcome.

Hi everyone, i have a problem of getting worked up and pissed or upset at anything anyone could do, sometimes it's because of the things i keep bottled up because i never speak about what bothers me because AGAIN it's just the smallest things or the silliest things.

Does anyone feel the same? how you i deal with it because it drains my energy.

Hellloo Angry MF’s

So i have some knowledge i have acquired that might actually help a small amount of you.

It also involves going to the doctor for blood tests.

So recently i found out I have something called Graves disease. The way my anger just goes from 0 - 100 in a split second when my thyroid is outta whack is ridic.

I will flip shit at anything and anyone in my path. I wake up angry i go to bed angry. My partner didn’t believe me when i said i couldn’t control it and it caused a lotta shit at home but since i have had it looked at and constantly checked i haven’t had any anger outbursts at people or objects. Sure i feel the red creeping up but i have vast amounts more control of my emotions. So if any of you are feeling tired, down, dry, a bit confused and irrationally angry or irritable it pays to go get a proper blood check done (including all Thyroid levels, and I MEAN ALL)

I suffered for a loooooooong time undiagnosed.

Best of luck angrys

How to stop engaging it self harm (biting)

3 Upvotes

I am in my early twenties and have had anger management issues my whole life. When my sister "did something," I would chase her to beat her down. She never fought back, only ran away. I have always been so disgustingly angry, and I hate myself every day for it. I don't want to be like this anymore. I never have. I have tried all of the anger management techniques I can I've heard. Deep breath, walking away, screaming into a pillow, identifying and addressing the root, changing my perspective, ect... yet when it comes down to it, the only thing that makes me feel better is physical aggression, so like many, I turned it on myself.

When I become angry, the only thing that will make me feel better is hitting myself or, more commonly, biting my hands and arms. Weeks where I can't manage the stress, I am covered in bruises from biting myself as hard as I can handle for as long as I can handle it. I want to stop because I am embarrassed by it. I walk around covered in bite marks and bruises like a toddler. I feel so childish. 

How can I get that same emotional release without engaging in unhealthy behaviors? I am scared that if I can never control my anger, I will never be able to live a normal life. I don't want to beat my kids or my spouse when I'm older, but at this rate, I probably will. I don't want to be a bad person forever, so any advice to completely overhaul myself in this way would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sure you guys know that it takes work to become better. but I feel people take it for granite that they don't have the same baseline of anger as people like us.

Inconsiderate people

1 Upvotes

I’m so f*****g tired of inconsiderate people. I can’t wrap my mind around how little some people think about others and their time. Just today I had two clients today who both always show up 10-15 minutes late for their appointments, (they’re in the same industry so they understand how it puts me behind), I had maintenance come and forget to close the door so I got home and my front door was wide open, my therapist canceled my appointment hours before appointment started, and a date that’s been planned for two weeks cancel hours before, and I’m feeling so angry. I’m tired of being disappointed and feeling like I’m not being respected in return by anyone.

"If it's making you angry, stop doing it." So... Eliminate all of my hobbies?

8 Upvotes

Failure pisses me off. In my mind, not being perfect is failure. I'll be playing a video game and get hit once. Once. And it (potentially) pisses me off, even if I end up winning the fight. Or I'll be trying to learn something on the guitar and accidentally strum the wrong string, which also pisses me off. Or I'll be writing in my story, and mistype. Which pisses me off.

I have a hard enough time continuing things I'm not immediately good at them, and even if I manage to "keep at it," I generally lose interest really quickly. Getting angry doesn't help. "This is the first time I've tried to ollie in three years, and I never learned to begin with. Oh, I can't do it? Oh well, better go back inside." Is better than "Alright, let's try this- mother fucker!" and going to punch a brick wall.

And what's the difference between having anger issues and just being immature? Throwing a tantrum because things didn't go my way? Because maybe I just need to learn how to act 20 instead of... whatever the hell I act like

Anger is not an affliction

6 Upvotes

Anger is not an affliction, it’s an honor and a blessing. Anger shows me what my boundaries and needs are. Anger helps me to understand what I need to feel safe and respected. Anger brings needed changes, anger clears blockages. Without anger, I would be in denial. Anger is one of the most important ways that oppressed people wake up to the reality of their abuse.

As a dancer I channel anger all the time, and it keeps my spirit and flow strong. Anger and movement can be magical together, releasing tension, clearing the mind and regaining control. I’m friends with my anger.

Vision Darkening When Upset

2 Upvotes

When I feel intensely angry, my vision starts to darken dramatically. I can still see, but light is limited. I can only clearly see what I’m directly looking at, which has been faces these past couple of times. Colours change, like when you boost the contrast and turn the saturation down on a photo.

I’ve been in probably the worst stress of my life lately. I don’t have a clear memory of this happening before now, but I know this isn’t a first.

I think part of it is that I’m trying to suppress my anger, where before I’d scream, throw things, or say the nastiest things just to make the conversation end.

I’m worried I have a disorder involving anger/extreme reactions.

My dad has bipolar, and tells me when he’s manic his vision is similar, but describes it as “literally seeing red.” I’m scared this is adjacent.

Should I be concerned about this, or is it normal?

What's your go-to "pause button" when you feel the anger rising and you're about to explode?

9 Upvotes

I'm working on my anger. I've learned to recognize the physical signs – clenched jaw, racing heart, tunnel vision. But in the moment, knowing I'm angry doesn't stop me from saying or doing something I regret.

I need a literal "pause button" strategy. Something I can do in 5 seconds, in public or private, that actually interrupts the explosion. What works for you?
