I Am Angry

When I'm angry, or even just irritated, it's like something inside me explodes, and from that moment I cant seem to access my own brain. I'm like a passive passenger watching helplessly as my rage-y brain takes over and makes me shout and snap at people, and in the past even hit people. I hate that I get so worked up - and over such ridiculous things as well - but I don't think I'm even capable of changing. That might not be true, though, since I have gotten better at walking away, so maybe my angry actions have changed, but the base emotions are still the same. I still feel entirely trapped by jealously and anger and bitterness and it never seems to stop.

@loveyourselfalways00: what Zombies aren't helpful??!!! ok so.. have you tried taking a quick short 'time out' when this happens? maybe try to excuse yourself from the event for a minute to calm down and refocus. say 'ok i need to deal with this, but need to take care of something first' then follow up with a regular conversation? either way you need to find a better way to deal with events that get you upset, as they will continue to happen and if you don't learn to deal well with them you will have more trouble in life when they happen.

@testbutton: Yeah I know. I've gotten better at walking, but sometimes it is incredibly difficult as I can't leave the situation I'm in or something
