Is this anger a recent development? Have things changed at work? Has anything in your home life recently changed. anger is tough to deal with. Sometimes we can go through periods of time where we are angry, everything sucks and we see no way out of it. A therapist told me once that anger is a secondary emotion. Something happened and we feel hurt, abandoned, betrayed, or something else. It turns into anger. Also anger can be a sign that something is going on in our subconscious that we are not quite ready to deal with. You may be on the brink of some kind of break through.
