How do you deal with anger?

I’ve been very tempremental lately. The positive symptoms (mostly delusions) have been bad since last week and instead of feeling scared and hopeless like I normally do, I’ve felt angry and disgusted at everything around me. It’s like I’ve had enough of whatever the world/reality/simulation has thrown at me and I look at people and everything in this red angry tone. Like everything I look at is evil and the only way to fight the evil is stare coldly back at the world in disgust. How does everyone deal with anger? Cause I feel so lost and upset.

I don’t deal with my anger very well. I will get down on myself for being angry and often wind up depressed by that.

I can only tell you that I have done two group AM courses and three workbooks… the third of which really seemed to produce an effect. (See below.) Because it (and other books) dealt with the psychotic bipolar <----> PTSD cluster ■■■■ that causes my paranoid little mind to a) misinterpret what’s going on as threatening (when it ISN’T), and 2) run up my autonomic nervous system’s fight or flight (even freak and fry; sigh) response into STRESS. (Also see below.)

And for those on the forum who are already familiar with Dr. S., I am reading his

at this time.

I just blame myself when ever I get too upset about the evil stuff in the world. There are way too many things to get overly upset about anyway. We shouldn’t blame the problem for being what it is, the problem, or we will end up being the problem ourselves. Or you could just count to ten in an attempt to diffuse the anger about all the little things in life that are upsetting .

I tend to become cold and overly assertive and do try to solve the problem as a result. In that sense I’ve ended up unconsciously turning anger into motivation. It’s bizarre when I think about it.

I think anger is a perfectly reasonable response to all the sh*t you have to deal with. For a long time, I was angry at the world for putting me through so much pain. That anger came after a long bout of not caring at all. Once I felt the anger, I got mad enough to want to take my life back. So I let the anger fuel me and push me to accomplish all the things I thought I would never be able to do. use your anger as a tool and make it work for you instead of against you. I think this is also @mortimermouse’s school of thought.

i used to be angry…because of many things.
but it is an emotion…that is negative. :imp:
like hate, jealousy, lies…etc.
it is best to fill your life with contentment, happiness, kindness…love :heart:

when you find a boulder infront of you…on your path in life.
you can;
punch the boulder,
get angry at it,
try and destroy it.

but the wiser person :man: just walks around it. :blush:

take care :alien:

Yes. I learned that it is not about how ■■■■■■ up we are, it is about how we manage it. If a few rounds on the punching bag can help me from lashing out on others, if a few miles on the treadmill can do it, if a good few workouts a week can do it, “it” meaning the trick to make me handle life more calmly and live in less agony and anger, then it is actually quite impressive and maybe even good to be ■■■■■■ up.

I cant stress it enough- it is not about what is wrong. The test in life is how we deal with it and what WE MAKE of it.

Do it. Exercise is great for symptom management.

I haven’t gotten angry in a long time. I get upset and miserable and I don’t know how to overcome it. Usually I just forget and move on with my life. :poop:

I brood. I don’t know if that is healthy or not. I was taught not to express anger when I was growing up, and yet I was always seething with anger inside. I don’t know if it is unhealthy to keep it inside. When I do express anger it can come out in unhealthy ways.

I yell a lot…my neighbors hate me.

Before, I’d tear an item I owned into pieces, bit by bit.
I’d get cheap plates and glasses for drinking and smash them into the ground…then clean it up.

Tear up a an old phone book- the bigger the better, just see if you have any energy left after that to still be angry.

Risperdal helps me with my anger.

I express it. I think we should seriously do something about the 15 charc. thing

My doctor told me the most healthy way to deal with negative emotions is to acknowledge they are there, acknowledge the cause, look for a solution if one exists, and let it go if there is no solution. I am not so good at any of these steps.
