I get angry a pretty good amount of time time. I don’t have anger problems. I think people are supposed to get angry. It keeps building up. It is a natural emotion. It is ok….as long as you don’t have anger issues. For me I get angry a pretty amount of the time……because I don’t get what I want in life. I don’t have enough to do…. Because I don’t have a job ect.

Everyone’s angry sometimes. I think it’s best to express your emotions than to be angry though. Anger is like an animalistic response to losing your patience when we can’t take the pain of our emotions.

Rarely, but when it happens I can be angry for days. So I guess I have a anger issue.

i almost never get angry anymore. at least not seriously angry. i think its an emotion i mostly lost like loneliness. i cant even remember the last time i got angry and argued with someone over something. had to be years ago. i dont care anymore enough to get angry or argue.

The way I was raised I was taught being angry was not allowed and that isn’t a valid way to express yourself
So basically my whole life i bottled up and repressed many things I didn’t like in life
I get mad sometimes and when I do I just get in my car alone and drive around screaming my head off at nobody
Sometimes I used to punch my pillow as well, kick the crap out of my pillow

I hear you
I actually am angry that I have too much to do and don’t have enough time to myself.
I think my real anger is really directed towards myself. I mean I know I’m dealing with medical conditions, but I see people as really helpful in my life. Like right now I’m mad at myself because all I’m trying to do is find an excuse. But when I think about things in reality people have basically done all they can for me and a little more. I want to do things in life. But I get mad at myself and all I do is sit around and tell myself I can’t do anything and try to find excuses and things to blame. Anger is like most things it can be good or bad.

I don’t get angry easily. I think they call it equanimity.

I seldom get angry. Someone has to really p.i.s.s. me off to make me angry.

Nope, don’t get that either. I get anxiety instead. And yes, I’m a pushover.

I’m also sometimes anxious but I do set boundaries. Sometimes it’s easier to say no when you experience anxiety.
No need to be a pushover!

I can’t set boundaries. When I get anxiety I get really weak in my body. I feel extremely uncomfortable. I avoid most of human interaction because of this. Usually some fu-ck says something stupid to me and I just take it. Then I suffer for months thinking about it.
I wish I had rage. Rage can be controlled. Anxiety is something else.

Anxiety is really annoying. I want to take a benzo right now.
But I’m planning to drink some tea and lie on my bed listening to quiet music. That’s the only way I think I will be able to handle it without benzos.
Also, anxiety won’t get you in jail. Rage will.

Don’t take benzo’s. You are doing the right thing by trying to relax instead. I’m also going to listen to some music.

@TheFountainPen is your anxiety been going on for a long time?
If so I found an AD that works longer term than benzodiazepines or Pregabalin

Well it restarted when I quit coffee a week ago. I took on 2 occasions benzos and now I’m craving them again.
But I’m trying to manage without them.
We’ll see if I succeed.
Edit: @Joker which AD btw?

Sertraline and Fluoxetine did not help
Vortioxetine has done very well
So well I could quit diazepam and Pregabalin
Not sure if Clozapine helped somewhat tho
