How to Spot an Anger Problem
Anger is a normal emotion, but if you find you’re flying off the handle frequently or sense your feelings simmering below the surface enough that it’s affecting your everyday life, it’s time to take stock.
You might have a problem if your anger is often intense, you hold on to it for a long time, and have gotten verbally or physically abusive because of it.
Ways to Ease Your Anger
Even if you have a medical reason for your anger, you can still work to control it. Exercise, deep breathing, visualization, and muscle relaxation can help with your body’s response. You can also work to avoid triggers for your anger, and learn ways to adjust your thinking to create different reactions. Your doctor can get you started.
