Hi, just want to chip in my support for you. I recently read an article on Cracked.com called "4 difficult ways to simplify your life (but they are worth it)". And the first thing the author wrote was how we should let go of that "sweet anger". He put out that in the moments that we genuinely feel happy and positive, it never involved with situation where we express our anger. It's the memory of love, friendship and good things happen in life, not some fight at the bar where you knock someone's teeth out. I myself have the temper. But it's more an passive-aggressive way: I'm usually very shy, but when someone insulted me, especially my goodwill toward them, then I snap...verbally. TBH though, I still feel like I deserve to get angry at people, but it slowly hit me on my head that even if I may feel "relieved" after yelling at somebody, but it's just not enough for me to be happy and positive for a long period of time. After a while, I feel sad, miserable and misunderstood again. People keep making progress in their lives, while I failed to catch on with all the baggage around me. I am also reading a very interesting book called "the Power of Habit" and it hit some very interesting analysis about how we change our habits, both tangible and intangible ones. One of the major component of changing your habit is that you have to believe. You need to be surrounded by people who are having the same problem and can share our personal story among ourselves. Well you are here now. So that's good. There are people who may progress better than you, and they will share their success. You don't have to follow exactly what they did, but you can look at them and tell yourself "Yes, I can do." I think we all can read thousands of material about "anger management", but until we can share our own story and feeling to others, then we will be able to let that anger go. Wish you the best. Keep us update on your condition.
