I used to have major anger problems when I was younger. Not surprising since I describe my school days as 1 year of kindergarten and 12 years of absolute hell. I had to learn to try to figure out what it was about that particular thing that was making me so angry. Was I empathizing with the people who were going through it? Did I feel powerless to stop what I saw happening? For a variety of reasons I had to stop watching the news and reading the newspaper. I haven't really done either for at least 25 years. Every time I did I got furious. Since then I've been much calmer although obviously some things can make my blood boil. Realizing that there was only so much I could do helped a lot too. As much as I'd love to be Superman and save the world every day I'm just a guy. It's OK. And being bipolar letting myself get so worked up like that is a "very bad idea". It took me a while to stop feeling selfish when I do this, but I have to take care of myself before I can help anybody, or even be there for anybody like my girlfriend. Just food for thought.
