#intense anger

Does anyone else get so angry, so quickly, and it's so intense that you don't know how to handle it and the only thing you can think of is like punching your own leg or hitting your head?

Lately I’ve been feeling really bad mood swings and get angry at my friends and family for no reason. I can go from the happiest I’ve ever been to the lowest I’ve ever been. I know it happens I just feel a rage of emotions building inside me and just start crying. It’s a vicious cycle and I’m very unsure of what it is or what to do about it. I’m really hoping you can help me, I get very emotional💔

Hello! Thank you so much for sending this in and waiting. I hope I can give you some advice and techniques to help you feel a bit better.

I completely understand where you are coming from as I have experienced this recently and I am still struggling with it. Mood swings or bad moods can overtake us and become overwhelming very quickly. Our anger can be due to various reasons and part of controlling that anger can be to understand where it comes from. With me, my anger comes from not being able to control a situation or just feeling anxious about something. My anger can be very intense and control how I speak to people.

Being angry isn’t our fault. It is our body trying to perhaps defend ourselves or control a situation in a negative way. When I feel angry, I now tell myself to step away from the situation, take a deep breath and clear my head for a few moments. Returning to the situation, I am able to look at it in a different way or speak to someone about the options. This is really helping, especially when I am at work and feel angry but cannot show it because of customers and colleagues.

Do you feel you could come up with a little mantra for when you feel angry? Something along the lines of ‘step back and breathe, it will be okay’ just to remind yourself that it will pass. Another thing to do, after you feel that way, is to write down why you feel you felt angry and how you overcame the emotion in a booklet. This may help you understand why you have these sudden feelings of anger and how to perhaps approach the anger next time.

Something else which I know has helped a lot of other people with their anger is taking some time to relax. This can be meditation, listening to your favourite album, taking a bubble bath or playing a sport. There are lots of apps on mobile phones or videos on YouTube which talk you through different meditation techniques. Some are based on breathing and some are based on clearing your mind just to name a few. I encourage you to try this once a day. Perhaps after a long day or before work or wherever you feel it would help the most. Make sure you are comfortable and in a quiet environment without any disruptions before you take a moment as this will help you focus.

Know that it is okay to be angry. Our emotions are valid. But, we must remember that anger is not a solution but a message to ourselves that something is affecting us. We can control how we let our anger out; positively (thinking about resolutions or how to deal with the situation or feeling safely) or negatively. Letting our anger out positively and figuring out how to do so may take time, but it is so worth it for yourself and the people around you.

SAO PAULO | Amid deep divisions, Brazilians vote for next leader

SAO PAULO — Brazilians are choosing their leaders Sunday in an election marked by intense anger at the ruling class following years of political and economic turmoil, including what may be the largest corruption scandal in Latin American history.

Many had thought that “throw-the-bums-out” rage would buoy the chances of an outsider and end the hegemony of the center-left Workers’ Party and the…

I’m so angry right now my throat is filled with emotional aftertaste and my core is tight as a ball. A tightened chest as if it were a chassis strapped on and trembling extremities. If he touches her again like this morning (pushed back her forhead with his three fingers while demanding that she unlock the care, implicitly deriding her for being “stupid” becase she can’t can’t be Professor X) I will pounce on him like a feral cougar.

My insticts were accurate when we first met, he was a grotesque (my mum’s boyfriend, for your information).
