It's great that you can control your physical impulses when anger strikes, without any lashing out! Kudos to you ~ that's a very difficult impulse for me, personally, to control. I second the advice that Leed gave you about going into your bedroom.

Close the door, put your face into a pillow and scream out all of your frustrations. I fight the temptation to hurt myself in times like these (I don't know if that's an issue for you), but you may want to try chomping down on a few carrots if you sometimes struggle with that temptation as well. Others use ice (I used to, but my tooth enamel is all gone from the ice I've chewed on throughout my childhood.), or hard candies. Just something that resists, and you have to put a lot of pressure and focus on what you're doing to get the piece to break.

Best wishes sent your way
