I used to have anger issues as a child and was always called out for it. I remember always feeling like my parents were hypocrites for being mad at me for being mad, so maybe I wasn't always repentful. At some point my parents told me I was too old to be spanked and I started to feel ashamed whenever I was bad.

I suppose my anger issues got better as I grew up, but lately I've been throwing tantrums again, it's shameful and embarassing behavior, but I get so worked up when infuriating technical problems occur like when the internet keeps dropping and I have to restart my computer 3 times and re-set up everything just to hardly get anything done. I work from home now, and when my sister sees me like this she gets scared and calls my dad. My dad has been very supportive and talks calmly to try to find a solution. So far I just keep snapping again though, and I have resorted back to self injury to release my anger.

Right now my throat hurts from screaming out curses and I still feel sad and stressed and exhausted. A coworker also told me yesterday that I could be heard in the background. I'm pretty sure I was muted but I didn't ask about it anymore and my boss didn't say anything either.

I'm so sorry you are struggling with anger. I struggle with it too but often turn it inwards on myself. Given all the bad stuff that happened to you lately I think your anger makes sense. I had to take anger management to get a handle on the deep causes of my anger, but sometimes it still flares up. It is a constant struggle. My heart goes out to you.

My tantrums are pretty limited. It usually involves my shoe closet. The inside of the closet is full of scuff marks from me showing shoes at it.
