Hey guys! Do you have anger problems? Do you want to discuss it? Post here, we are here to help! :)

Yes, I think I have anger problems sometimes lol. I have these really bad mood swings which have gotten worse over the past month, and I don't know why.

Sometimes I'll just get angry for no reason over something so trivial lol. Hopefully these mood swings will pass, I hate getting mad for no reason.

So, I have really bad anger management problems. I will often start yelling, growling, or cursing under my breath when I get mad. There have been one or two times I've dropped an f-bomb out loud directed at someone(my little brother). Usually it is my little brother I get mad at, but sometimes it's also my parents. They always tell me to just calm down and ignore whatever is making me angry, but it's not that simple and they don't understand! Sometimes it has been so bad that I'll start crying. After my angry sessions, I'll feel enormous guilt. I am also very unhappy to say that I have started physical fights with my brother before because of my anger. The past couple of days I've completely snapped. My usual is getting angry but sometimes holding it in. When I snap, I become very grumpy and get mad at the slightest thing. I hit my brother (he kicked me in the shin) and I haven't done anything like that for a while. It's kinda hard for me to write all this. I really, truly feel ashamed. If anyone knows a way to deal with my anger, please let me know. P.S. I've already tried breathing and taking my anger out on my wall. It didn't work. (Don't worry, the wall sustained no damage and my knuckles were only lightly scraped.) Also, sorry for the jumbled mess of writing that this is. :/

I don't have so much of an anger issue as my being a registered psychopath. I will be honest, if I had the chance to kill somebody with no reprocusions I would skin them alive in a warm room, not all at once, over a series of days, force-feeding them water, zinc and what is needed for life, I would preferably keep them alive for as long as possible.

Oh, I was more asking what to do if I get like that.

I'm scared....

I'm like a monster when I get angry XD idk why but its funny I'm just thinking back when my sister hitted me and oml

Ya, tbh that's the only real thing stopping me from killing people, I know I would probably be caught and probably executed. Plus it's not so much I have this burning desire, more a, if I could I would enjoy it immensely.

If there was a purge I would be the killer no cap

But let's not think about that buddy

I think I'm just going to vent here.
So my parents are mad at me for talking to some friends they don't "approve" off. They think I'm talking with sketchy people, but they are dead wrong. My friends are actually sweet, kind and very smart people.
Now, I have no privacy on my phone and my parents check every single one of my messages every day. Now, the only privacy I have is on Goodreads and that's it.
I've never felt so angry and trapped. I don't know how to handle this anger so I'm just going rant here.

I understand my parents love me and think they know what's best for me, but in this case they aren't even hearing my perspective of this mess. I just wish they would trust me.

god, i really relate with you in this..

@Mango That sucks. Luckily, my parents don't really monitor my phone. But like, I've been creating a lot of lgbtq+ characters for roleplaying, and I think if they discovered that.....I don't know. My mom is pretty fine with lgbtq+, we watch Modern Family together, which has a gay couple in it. I don't know so much about my dad. He's accepting, too, just not as much as my mom, I don't think. I really don't know. I'm too...afraid? I guess? To ask. But I understand your frustration. Especially because my parents don't understand my anger. They say "oh, just ignore your brother, don't yell" and they say it like it's sooooo easy. For me, it's not. It's really, really not. I feel so....helpless. No matter how much my brother is scolded or whatever, he just annoys me again and again. I can't deal with it. My life is stressfull enough as it is. Sometimes I just want to scream about how unjust it all is.

Also, I was wondering. I need your honest opinions. I was thinking of seeing if I can find any anger management programs over the summer. Should I? I don't know....

Hi! I have a very low temper and zero anger management skills. I just get mad at everything that doesn't work right in the first attempt. I know that is bad and I don't like it either... but I just explode when things don't go my or at least the way they should. I don't know what to do about it.

I'm so glad to find someone who relates to me. To my friends, I can be quite crazy and love to play pranks and am super sarcastic. Ir my parents found that part of me...I don't think they would accept it. They just want me to study study study.

I completely feel you, I am here to talk. <3

And about your inquiry, it's up to you. If it gets worse by summer, and you are comfortable with it, I think you should go for it. If it gets better by summer, I don't see the need. :)

I relate to you. Whenever that happens, I remind myself that failure is always the birthplace for success, which encourages me to try again.

Everybody says that but everybody chickens out.

I just really need to rant. I honestly feel like I'm going to cry. I just blew up at my brother and my dad, who has a really bad headache, and nothing to do with my brother upsetting me. Now, my brother, he's been shooting his nerf gun ALL DAY LONG and it's super loud and I've been trying to do homework and read, but he's just being so annoying and I just really need someone to talk to.

Please? Anyone?

OMG stupid notifications I didn't see this, are you alright?
