Having anger trouble. Feel like I'm boiling over, heart racing, very physical, hot, gut rolling. Want revenge. Close to acting anger out. Trying to maintain sanity. Almost went off on a cop who gave me a speeding ticket yesterday. Anyone have any coping skills that work?

Don't talk to people unless you have to. Act nice. Really act: focus on outward appearance. That focus should take your mind off any reasons for being angry. Imagine acting out but don't do it. Don't be passive agressive. When you're alone, focus on feelings, not on thoughts. If your anger surges after a confrontation, interaction or thought, focus on how you feel. Don't think other than maybe imagining biting someone's head off, in the back of your mind, whilst acting nice. Stabilise that feeling as long as you have to for it to slowly disappear for as long as it takes.

Basically, focus on appearance and feelings, not on thoughts.

Hope that helps.

I am trying to learn how to act before I react, I use to just automatically react and flip out on some one, I have noticed now I might go into my bath room or some where alone and do deep breathing and try to calm myself down, Then I will come out and take care of the problem
