#anger disorders

[from-helikon-with-love]

people fucking looove talking about how you "shouldn't define yourself by your disorder" until you have a disorder that is ugly, impossible to romanticise, and extremely hard to treat without numbing medication, then they will suddenly love to define EVERYTHING about you by your disorder - 🔶️

Rage attacks typically leave me exhausted whether I am alone or with others.

I just try to listen to music and dance with the flow of the music. Or I will lie down and try to relax my muscles.

hm, my friend has an anger issue, i think it’s like depression and/or anxiety, but instead of depression and fear, it’s anger. Like when she’s upset or sad, she turn them into anger and she turn into something like hurricane, it kinda also destroy other people too, including me who’s trying to help. I really want to help, to understand her, but i don’t know where to start and i’m not sure if anything i’d do will make it worst, but i don’t want to avoid her like other people do, she’s too lonely. anyone has any idea? any place i can get help or advises? and blog or website? where to start and such?

Are there different types of anger disorders?

Hello.

Yes there are different types of anger disorders.

Chronic anger- an ongoing ‘underlying’ form of anger, often caused by a generalised resentment of life and of other people. It can impact the immune system and be the cause of other mental disorders. 

Passive anger- doesn’t always come across as anger and can be difficult to identify. Passive anger may be expressed through sarcasm, apathy, meanness, avoidance or by purposefully performing sub par. 

Overwhelmed anger- caused when circumstances become to great for an individual to cope with. This anger is closely related to frustration. Overwhelmed anger can be caused either by a situation or by life in general.

 Judgmental anger-  which is directed toward others and may come with feelings of resentment.This can then be expressed as critical, scathing or hurtful comments directed at the source of the anger.

Self-inflicted anger- which is directed toward the self and may be caused by feelings of guilt. This can then result in self harm either emotionally or physically, or can manifest itself more subtly as an eating disorder, self deprecation, or self sabotage.

Volatile anger- comes and goes and can be explosive and intense when it does. This is often triggered by a perceived wrong or a personal annoyance. It leads to physical or verbal outbursts.

Retaliatory Anger - This is directed at an individual or organisation in order to ‘get back at them’ for a perceived wrong on their behalf. For example this type of anger might be caused by an insult, or by a company refusing to refund faulty goods. This is essentially the motivation for actions of revenge.

Constructive anger- Constructive anger describes anger that motivates positive reform or action such as protesting. It’s possible to use this type of anger yourself to get things done and create drive and motivation. This way your activity becomes a form of catharsis for anger you have purposefully created.  

(source one) and (source two) - Take a look at these and they will give you some more information on anger disorders.

If you think you have some kind of anger disorder then it’s important that you go and seek help. Doctors will be able to diagnose you with any anger disorders you may have and will be able to then refer you to someone like a therapist who can help you manage your anger. They will be able to give you anger management techniques and help to calm you down when you are angry. Just book an appointment with your GP and take in any symptoms you have of a particular anger disorder and they will be able to diagnose you and help you. If you know someone who may have an anger disorder then try your best to encourage them to get help.

Types of anger disorders ?

Hello.

I studied these in psychology so I know a little bit about them. So hope I can help you:) We didn't go into to much detail though so for that I do apologise.

Chronic anger, which is prolonged, can impact the immune system and be the cause of other mental disorders. It can cause you to be violent to others and have self destructive behaviour.

Passive anger- It doesn't always come across as anger so it can be difficult to identify that you are actually being angry. It can come across as sarcasm, being mean to others, lack of feelings. 

Overwhelmed anger, which is caused by life demands that are too much for an individual to cope with. 

Self-inflicted anger, which is directed toward the self and may be caused by feelings of guilt or resentment for yourself/something you have done.

Judgmental anger, which is directed toward others and may come with feelings of resentment or hate.

Volatile anger, which involves sometimes-spontaneous bouts of excessive or violent anger.

If you think you have any of the above or that they apply to you then please go and see someone. Book an appointment with your doctor and see what they say. Tell your doctor about how you feel, what your triggers are for being angry. Tell them as much information as you can. Then your doctor will be able to diagnose you with one of the disorders and get you the help you need. Therapy is usually the preferred method of choice and a therapist can help you manage your anger. Your doctor may have a chat with you about other options but usually therapy is the most common.
