My experience with anger resides with the dx of BPD and many with this condition struggle with controlling one’s emotions which at times are often explosive in nature.
Unfortunately, in my case I tend to sometimes internalize these emotions otherwise something gets broken. [emoji37] I’ve learned to notice the triggers and go into a different mode (internal dialogue) on what Not to do (focus, distraction) away from outbursts. This isn’t easy but is a valuable tool provided by learning DBT skills.
When around others with anger issues I tend to spiritually pray for calm. In no way do I inject one should calm down. Sometimes these events cause me to literally “freeze” and I become somewhat shocked, but quickly seek my faith for strength.
What I suggest is one learn skills on how to manage one’s anger; yet I know just suggesting one has a problem can produce an outburst. Seeking professional help can also help.
Here’s a resource that may help someone.
