Everyone
feels angry at times. It is a natural reaction and part of
being human. Expressing your anger can be a positive way to
release feelings that have been giving you stress. But sometimes
when you are angry it seems better to just keep quiet and
bottle up how you feel. If you do this over a long time your
anger may be triggered by something very trivial and unrelated,
frightening you and the people around you. The experiences
you have as you grow up can influence how you think anger
can be expressed.
Perhaps
you find that you:
- suddenly
lose your temper over what later seems to be something trivial
-
become angry and aggressive when you've had a lot to drink
- shout
first and then calm down to realise you had totally over
reacted
- want
to hit out more and more
- your
friends are scared to talk to you in case they say the wrong
thing
Being
angry can affect you physically as well as emotionally. If
you have been bottling up how you feel it will take time and
effort to break the habit but realising that you have a problem
is the first step. Learning about how to assert yourself in
a positive way and Anger Management courses can help you to
understand why you are angry.
