Anger is such an emotion which can destroy a human being. I am not an angry person. But most of the time I just loose my temper. I do try a lot of techniques such as counting upto ten, taking deep breaths, leaving the site etc. But nothing works. I again get angry in the very next instance. I may be postponing the anger. Is it right? Do any of you have a good suggestion?

If you are angry..go to the health food store and get something called scullcap and have a nice cup of tea with it. Remember..life is short. Don't sweat the small stuff. Find a comedy show on TV...or go out for a walk..or leave the room until ou are OK again. Not worth raising your blood pressure over. Just think when yuo get mad, YOU ARE NOT WORTH IT! I will not let YOU control how I feel!-It works!

Hi There, Anger is one of those emotions which is very difficult to control. Many people cannot do it. I myself always had trouble controlling my anger and often let it get the better of me. In order to control my anger now I have to remove myself from the situation. I will often go for a walk or a drive just to get away from the source. That usually lets me cool down. cheers,

I also have a very bad temper. I have learned though that losing my temper can destroy relationships. When I am angry, I have to vent. Just counting, taking breaths, and leaving doesn't do it for me. I try to get out of the situation as fast as possible; then, I have taken to coming home and typing angry letters, then after I get all the rage out, trying to look at it rationally. I always delete these angry letters, and with them, delete the anger that was blocking my rational. I might still be upset, but this helps with the bulk of the anger. I find that things that REALLY upset me, link to deeper issues than the superficial thing that made me mad. Writing the letters helps me find and deal with the real problem.
