Hello firewater83: Oh yes, I have had some experience with this sort of thing. I have allot of anger I carry around inside. This has always been the case. I'm aging now &, as a result, I tend to be less volatile. When I was younger, I broke things on a regular basis. I still feel the urge. I just don't act on it.

What I try to do is to accept these types of emotions... with compassion. I breathe into them & smile to them. Sometimes I'll even place my hand over my heart as a sign of lovingkindness & compassion for what I am feeling. I strive to accept what I am feeling whatever it is, just as it is. I don't always succeed. But this is always my goal. I do this in the belief that trying to ignore or stuff down unwanted thoughts or emotions just causes them to grow stronger.

Another thing I will do is to do walking meditation. I find this particularly useful if I am having difficulty sleeping because of pent-up anger. Going for long walks outside also helps me.
