So, I know this seems to be a popular topic here in the emotions forum, but I'm really struggling with anger. My mother has always said I've always been an angry person. The problem is, I really just don't know how to deal with it. It usually happens to me late at night (not necessarily when I'm tired), and I'll just pick fights because I'm feeling hurt or abandoned. I know those feelings are completely in my head and not actually the result of something anyone has done, but for some reason, I cannot let go until I pick a fight. I know it's extremely unhealthy and damaging, but I just.. can't let go. I'm working on getting a therapist to help me work through these things, but until then, I was wondering what everyone does to deal with their anger, especially when it seems to be a product of their imagination or simply self-inflicted mind games.
Thanks for this!
