How Do You Manage Anger?
Do you get angry? Everyone gets angry don't they? That's ok, it's a normal human emotion and it's almost preconditioned into us as a response to various stressful stimuli. But not everyone gets really angry, all the time.
Although anger is a normal human emotion it can get out of control. It can become overpowering and if this happens to you then it can affect many different areas of your life in many different ways.
It can lead to all sorts of unusual behavior. There are so many ways that someone suffering from uncontrolled anger can manifest that. Some are obvious like shouting, but some are not so obvious. For example it can lead to behavior like short temperedness, sullenness, withdrawal into oneself, chronic grumpiness and overt aggression when dealing with other people.
And of course there's the more well known symptoms like violence and threats of violence towards others including your family. When things reach this stage you have to tackle it or you're on a slippery slope towards losing your relationships.
These sorts of behaviors can have severe impacts on the life of the sufferer. Usually their relationships suffer or break down entirely, they can become lonely and alone and resentful, and feel like they've totally lost control of their lives. In serious cases life can totally spiral out of control leading to even more serious implications.
And as well as the emotional life of the sufferer there can also be serious health implications too. There is evidence that uncontrolled anger can lead to a whole host of health problems including digestive problems, depression, heart problems and stroke, insomnia, anxiety and other related psychological problems.
