Not only were you in law school, but a scholarship as well?! How dare they kick you out?! I'd be angry too....4

I used to have anger problems when I was younger because of the sht that I went through during middle school and high school but over time I managed to control it through personal experiences. I do still get angry but it's not as explosive as it was years ago. I also go to the therapist twice a month to talk about and help me deal with personal problems that happened to me. If you feel like you're getting angry, just walk away, take a breather and calm down. If you want, you can see a therapist to help you come up with coping skills to deal with that anger or you can take it out through lifting or boxing or like someone said, try meditation. Everyone gets angry, that's what makes us human but it's always good to try to control it before something happens.5

Why you so angry Emma? The law school thing in just awful I tell ya..

It might be worth it to talk with a therapist. Many young people struggle with anger management, so it's not necessarily a sign of any other problems, but a therapist can help you brainstorm some ways to deal with it, and help you implement them. (My teenage son was seeing a therapist for the same kind of thing for a while, and it helped!) Talk to your insurance provider to find someone they cover, or if you're in school, you can go to the student center and get help there in finding a provider.CharlieBeansmomTracey wrote: »if you have anger issues like that see a dr. that can often be a sign of a mental illness.Not saying it is but it can be.Its not good for you to get angry and you should not go off on people in general.you may want to learn how to cope with people and learn how to talk to them without anger or being set off,with some people though its like they push your buttons repeatedly. some people you may have to kick to the curb.people often blame others for things they dont do because they have to blame someone as they dont want to own up to being at fault. those people are toxic and need to be avoided.
HELLO!!! This should have been the FIRST advice offered, and it is the ONLY VALID solution to start with. Get some professional help and deal with your *kitten* before you over-react to something stupid and it escalates to violence, either by you or against you. If you're a law student, perhaps you already understand the potential consequences.
While all the other advice offered here is valid in and of itself, it's all mental *kitten* until you deal with the core issue - YOU!
Do the right thing. Good luck.3 -

There's studies that shows that behavior does not help youre training your mind to hit things when angered...thats something that the hulk does and the hulk has the most anger issue in the marvel universe.
Try meditation there are some good phone apps to get you started and focused. Give your mind and body 10-20minutes out of this busy life to relax.Mindfulness is everything1 -

No I do not
Lexi and Bella both had anger issues. They used to come in here and play tricks on us and then yell at us a lot. You don't even do that though. Are you sure you have anger issues? You seem very mild mannered. You get a little suspicious sometimes, but then you return to your senses and become quite agreeable and relaxed.

That's not right what they did0

Are they still on mfpEmmaCottrellluv wrote: »That's not right what they did
There was some mixup over a hip tattoo and a BMW. Also, Lexi told us she was catastrophically ill and then the story changed a teensy bit, leading to some doubt on behalf of the fitness pals. We never really learned the full story, although we really tried to listen. Bella had trouble with geography and didn't know the difference between Massachusetts, Florida and Rhode Island, although we tried to explain it.

I found my anger reduced considerably when I started looking after myself better - get enough sleep, make better food choices, burn off frustrations at the gym etc.
I had a mental at the kids recently because their constant bickering just does my head in. Not cool. My dogs were too scared to eat their breakfast after that. I had to apologise to them. On the bright side, it has been quite a while since I had a melt down. What I should've done is put myself in my room. You can't change other people, only your reaction.1 -
i use claymores... both types1

I remind myself that they will cross paths and anger someone far worse than themselves. That in itself is a relieving and calming thought.1

I bought a punching bag that has its own little spot in my living room. Gloves are on top for easy access when I need to hit something.1 -
I also use this app called Calm. It has a meditation section.1

Went through classes. Meh.0

It could be a food allergy setting off the anger. In my past I would come home in a great mood and see a fork in the knife spot and lose it for days. Blamed it on ppl not listening to me . I've now been gluten-free for almost 2 years. The difference is night and day. I hope you find your peace.0

For me, it's all about perspective and reminding yourself of how ridiculous you're being. I used to (and still do) get worked up over the most ridiculous things. Remind yourself that there are bigger things than you, that life could always be worse, and that your anger doesn't make anything better for you or those around you.
There's always the cow in the parking lot scenario, which works for some people. Imagine looking forever to find a parking spot at a mall or somewhere you want to be. You finally find one, only to have some jerk sneak into it from out of nowhere. You can scream. You can honk. You can get out and kill the other person or key their car or whatever. At best, you release some energy. At worst, you wind up in jail.
Now, imagine you pulling into that spot to find a cow occupying it. Same result in that you don't get the spot. However, this exercise is supposed to have you admit to something like chuckling when you see the cow, not hollering and screaming. This is the case with most things we get worked into a rage over.
Just keep working at it, be patient with yourself, and remind yourself that controlling your anger, just like weight loss and most things in life, is a marathon and not a sprint. It takes time. Hang in there. Don't stop trying.2 -
I cuss a lot and punch folks in the throat.2
