So angry today

Soon as I woke up I was pissed off. Just the sound of my mom’s voice instantly set me off. She was nagging me and being annoying. Then we had to go to church which is a waste of my time. I hated that there was a kid’s choir and they sounded horrible. I hated the people that sat around me. I hate how ignorant and stupid people are, and how they are so easy to trick. I am always stuck after church because my parents sit around and talk to people. I hate it because I just want to get out of there as quick as possible. Finally got home and I played some games on my computer and got really mad because I kept dying, then I had to go into work for an hour and deal with all those people. After that I got home and shot the basketball for a while and got mad because I wasn’t making enough of my shots. I got so worked up that my whole body is trembling right now, and I feel physically weak and tired.

Usually I sit and let these thoughts stew in my head, but today I wanted to try and write it out. I hate feeling like this, but it is just like the snowball effect. Soon as I get mad it just keeps getting worse. I treat other people like crap and I am disinterested in everything they say. Today I was so mad I was on the verge of getting violent, but I can always keep from doing it. I just want to take my frustration out on something but nothing ever works. This does not happen a lot, just when a lot of negative gets built up inside me, or if I have to do something I don’t want to.

Keep getting the anger out..in words or physical activity. Do you have a punching bag or something you could use. Sometimes nature has a calming effect, maybe a long walk outside.
Don't let the thoughts stew in your head - like you said, it creates the snowball effect.
Also, sometimes slow deep breathing will help calm you down and of course, keep posting on here...we all have things we just need to get off our chests sometimes!

Hello, fight. Do you think you would benefit from talking to a professional about your anger?

I can relate to some of that anger. Sometimes I drive my car, and I just scream. Now that helps ..of course the men in white coats also follow me but I manage to get away..Seriously though, I do have rage at times...everyone makes me angry, the way they look, walk, etc.....usually I find thats when my depression rears its ugly head. I like the idea of a punching bag...how about a gym membership; jogging....I have trouble walking now but when I could walk I speed walked...with weights....and when I was done I was tired but my rage also was gone!!!!!
Believe me I hear ya!!

Thanks for replies guys. If I get really angry sometimes Ill punch my pillow or lift weights, but that only seems to work some of the times. I'm sure it would help to talk to about it with someone, but I really don't like talking about emotions with other people.

I totally get what Fight's saying. I get angry often. It's anger that I don't let out because it would upset my family. Although, if I can't keep it in, I try to make the issue about something entirely different than what it actually is, and I yell about it and I keep yelling to my family. But my family doesn't know the real reason. I try to pretend it's something trivial, when it's usually not. I feel the need to get a shrink or something, but I can't afford it. I want to try speed walking to vent because when I do something physical it feels 10x better, but it's been so cold outside so I still haven't tried it. I'd get so angry that I'd cry, that makes me feel somewhat better, but not as good as doing something that involves using my muscles, like speed walking or running. I wanted to try a punching bag once, my family thought it was weird, like, ''Why do you want that for?" They just don't get it, they don't get me. And that's also where the anger comes from--my family. I don't know what to do anymore.

I can relate to what you are saying Stereo, I mask my anger with sarcasm so I can usually get away with cutting remarks with some laughs. Makes me feel better about myself but it is also tearing the other person down. Or if someone tries to find out why I am angry then I will make a BS reason, like "Ive got so much school work" or "I just dont feel good". Its enough to get them to stop asking questions.

You should try doing pushups and situps until you cant anymore, that helps me get out anger. I also like to listen to metal and hard music and just get really into it. My face gets red and it feels like a workout lol.

Was this on Sunday? Sundays SUCK. They are supposed to be about relaxing and togetherness and somehow it's ALWAYS the opposite. Grr. Sundays are annoying....

Yeah, totally. I'm always doing that Fight. And yeah, I've tried listening to rock n metal music too, lol. but sometimes it just triggers a headache, lol. i can't wait for spring so i can ''speed walk'' since i can't really run to save my life. Lol. I got angry again today for several reasons. I'm going shopping today, i should get some new Loud music to yell my head off, while i wait for springtime. :P I love the rain.

oh, lastyearisblank, Sundays are...crappy. =\

I felt the exact same this Sunday again. I don't know what it is about them, but they are always the worst day of the week.
