Lately, well always but I have noticed it getting worse as of late, are my anger management issues. I used to go right to drugs as soon as I got angry to calm myself. That was obviously not a good idea. I know a lot of people cope with stress by drinking or using drugs and as this is no longer an option I am looking for any advice. I know I am not the only angry person out there.

I know exercise is a great way to relax, but this is not always a viable option. I also know breathing exercises are a good way to calm yourself down, but I am hoping for a more long-term solution. I guess the question I am asking everyone is: how do I become a less angry person? I lose my temper if a sock goes missing. It is quite silly, and I can recognize that now in a calm state, but once my heart starts racing, I find it difficult to calm down and think rationally and so a lost sock will make me abuse the closest person to me. Any advice on how other people deal with their anger and stress would be really helpful.
