yeah i think most of my anger issues come mostly from being physically and emotionally abused as a child into an adult...i had a couple of issues with my mother threatening my life and then in school when i would get eggs thrown at me and my money taken as well...ive never been one to unleash it very often so i am sure my passive aggressive bipolar type behavior stems from somewhere in that area.....

i try not to take it out on people who do not deserve it, but when someone says something to me at the wrong time....i feel really sorry for them...

I have anger issues though they have improved over the years. When I was in primary school, not only I got angry easily, I was also very violent. I punched someone in the stomach (I still think she REALLY deserved that), I pushed three of my classmates, kicked two and I attacked a 5th grader in 2nd grade.

Fortunately I'm not violent anymore. I sometimes become angrier than I've ever been in preschool but I've never resolved to violence these past few years.

Not serious, no. The only time I was arrested
the victim testified in my favor, and I was ACD'd.

Still, I am almost always walking the edge, and
figure it's about a 50/50 chance that I'll end up
killing someone, and not being able to dispose
of the body. Probably be rampage time then.

Really? Ive felt like that before, but i am greatful i have my releases....music, art, physical activity, a 65 mustang and a girlfriend to vent to....i use to punch holes in the walls and hit myself but i soon began to teach myself to use my destructive behavior to create something i can enjoy and allow that to be my catalyst...being that i get angry at least 2 times a week it would seem like a good way to stay productive and positive even if i am pissed....if none of your passions can seem to take the edge off and you think you could seriously kill someone i think u should seek a professional and start some form of medication....seriously something like that will haunt you forever....

I get angry quite often, but I just hide it. I usually don't express it because if I do, then I have more problems. If I could though, I would probably fight people every day

Not really. I just get really really mad when people don't listen like I say something and I expect people to understand. I got real mad at my bf when I told him to "leave me alone" he didn't so I started screaming at him and throwing things and then I said "I don't know what world you come from but in my world when we say 'leave me alone,' we left each other alone."

I also hate ignorance and I get really really mad and start throwing insults and pick fights with them. I can say pretty nasty things.

As a kid I hit my brothers and my friends when they wouldn't listen because that's what I was taught through spankings by my mother. I was very bossy and wanted everything my way and I yelled at them and hit but at school I didn't do hitting because hitting wasn't allowed but at home it was so I did it.

As a toddler I hurt kids my mom said because I couldn't talk. I don't remember but I remember biting and I always pinched and scratched my best friend Sara, she did it to me too my mom says.

I also got in fights with my bullies, I hit them with my back pack, spit at them, scratch, shoved and I also teased them back. In sixth grade, my school wanted to put me in a class with violent kids who had behavior disorders.

I have quite the opposite. I rarely get mad. When I do I can completely control it.
Although I would love to get in a fight. Like getting mugged.
If I was mugged at gun point, oh I practice a lot on my friends, but I would pretend to be getting money out for them while saying "Take what you want I don't care, just don't shoot me" and then quickly swipe the gun out of their hand, elbow them in the face and then jump on them and pull them to the ground. I would do it.
I mean people think that if someone has a gun in their hand it makes them immortal. You just need to be quick. Thats all.
and its not even about the money. Its about scum like that having it. I hate unfairness.
I'd rather flush 20 dollars down the toilet then to give a mugger 5 dollars.

I used to have serious rage/anger issues. Every once in a while I still feel it "flash" but now I recognize what's happening and know enough to just "sit down, shut up, and wait it out."

I dealt with it first by learning to recognize it...and the desire to deal with it came from realizing that I was going to seriously shorten my life if I kept it up...not to mention the fact that life is waaaaayyyy too short to be at odds with everyone and everything 24/7.

Once I learned to recognize it I could work on refusing to let my emotions get the better of me and drag me down paths that I didn't want or need to travel down.

Part of the strategy for "not going there" was to regard anger--and all emotions, really--from a Buddhist perspective of looking at emotions like clouds or weather: just let it pass. Sooner or later it will...and it usually passes much sooner if you just "decline" to (re)act on/to the anger.

Once I learned how to do all of that, I could finally start taking time to analyze what I was feeling and why I was REALLY feeling what I was feeling. In my case it almost always came down to either wanting to preserve/protect/protect a certain image of myself to other people...or...wanting to guard against losing control of a situation, thing, whatever.

So...first I learned to recognize anger, then to "sit down and have tea and cookies with it" and wait for it to get tired/bored and leave...and then figure out how it got in the house in the first place.

Sorry for such a garbled/mixed metaphor melange, but that's pretty much it. I've spent years independently studying Buddhist thought/philosophy/psychology, and I find it massively effective and liberating because it empowers ME. The starting point in Buddhism is that we create much/most of our own suffering needlessly, and that only we can liberate ourselves from that suffering. Rather than being depressing/scary/whatever to consider a world in which the most control/happiness/peace that we can have must come from within us (as opposed to praying to some deity, blaming other people or situations, etc), the light switches "on" and all of a sudden the realization comes that we have more power over our lives than anyone or anything else.

I'll shut up now...except to recommend a book called "What Color Is Your Mind?".

Good luck! 8)
