that you thought you could kill someone? What did you do? I know that such bad thoughts wouldn't do me good. In fact, it is bad to think that way. But honestly, I felt that way several times already. Somehow, there is some kind of divine intervention that help suppress the anger and pain. Every time I feel such intense emotion, I close my eyes and pray. After a while, I feel better.

Hi dolc_vita78, Yes sometmes I get so very angry with my husband, I swear sometimes I can kill him, but I normally just walk away int the kitchen and a little while later I feel better, you are doing the right thing by praying, its not good to keep anger inside. Tamara

I agree with you, it is not good to keep anger inside. We will definitely feel uncomfortable.

[i]Hi dolce, haven't tried that but I have tried in my mind to hurt physically the person who makes me very mad and like you, I realized also that even in thoughts, it's wrong and end up praying to heal my mind and heart![/i]

I believe that my mental health totally effects my physical health. As a child I would get nausea and pain when going through abuse. I was emotionally hurt but it came out physically. I completely understand that when I get upset it will likely to make me feel physical pain. Usually I will get head pains or sore stomach.

Yes I have, and occasionally I do. I had a terrible temper when I was younger, if someone upset me then they knew about it, I would never hold back. I went through a bad time two years ago nearly now where I was hurt very badly by people in my family and people who I thought were friends. I was so angry that I wanted to hurt everyone that was involved, I did not, I just told myself that to do so would to just be doing what everyone expected me to do and I was not going to lower myself to their standards. I was pretty surprised at how well I held myself actually.

Yes heaps of times. But I don't actually kill someone of course, even though I find it very hard to control my temper I must remember to not loose it. When I get angry I go on the trampoline and pretend I'm jumping on there head. This is a way that takes my anger out and I feel better after about 2-3 minutes.

i believe everyone has been through this esperience or has felt that intense emotion when they get angry that they would want to kill someoone that they would want to hurt back the person who have hurt them. i am no exception. i am not perfect and with my imperfection, i have felt this way too. but everytime, i would just walk around calm myself, think of the good thing that came out with the situation and leave the rest to God.. i havent really dont something vengeful in my life.. as i was growing up, i was taught of it as improper and i have brought that until now... and it's good, i dont want to regret over something too.

Hi dolce_vita! I feel that way too whenever I get hurt so deeply. My thoughts are so bad that I hurriedly ask God to wipe all my evil thoughts. I am not a vindictive person that will be capable of hurting anyone physically or verbally but I know if thoughts can kill, I am sure I have killed a lot already. I am just grateful that God always help me in overcoming my anger and the hurt. I am so grateful that I learned to hold my temper and be calm and seek His Guidance in dealing with the emotions. Take care and have a nice day! lovelots..faith210

I had such feeling in the past. Thanks the Lord for He allows me to recover from such intense anger and hatred. He sent "angels" around me to guide and enlightened me from such horrible emotions. Prayer is for me the most powerful weapon against hatred, fear and anxiety.

I usually go for a drive when I'm that angry. I try to take myself out of the situation that made me furious. I know that it can't be helped sometimes. I usually walk away. My family knows this. My girl friend usually leaves me alone when I'm angry. And she knows when I'm angry. Doesn't really matter who's fault it was that made me angry, it doesn't help if the other person just keeps going on about it when all I wanted to do is be left alone to calm down. There were times when my girl friend took my daughter out to dinner just so she can leave me alone to me & my anger. By the time they come back, I'm all good & calm.

Because we are the man beings who own complax brain. The step of society become faster and faster. So we will run across many problems and troubles. We will feel puzzled and sad. When I am sad, I will release myself by memorizing happy things.

yes when I was very young I too felt the same when I'm angry. I use to get angry and hurt at the same time and it was so hard to control my anger. But my father use to tell me to count upto 10 when ever I get angry. But that was impossible at that time. But now that I'm matured I hardly get angry. Even when I get angry I always think of what my father taught me to do and then calm down. But now my problem is when I control my anger like that I cannot control my tears falling down.

I felt this way towards someone just last Friday. My method for dealing with it was to stay just as far away from that person as I could, so that I wouldn't be tempted to tell him about those feelings. I knew I'd never act on them, but talking to him about exactly HOW i felt (in that way) wouldn't have done anything at that point/

I have. I was so depressed, felt so low and devastated. But I never gave up, I continue to stand amidst all the negative forces around me. That's because of my faith and my wife's inspiring thoughts everyday and her motivating power.

Hi there! A feeling of intense is a heavy emotion that's sometimes uncontrollable. Most of the time there's a need to release it for the emotion to subside. I have felt anger many times already but not that intense that I have thought of killing someone. I always try to control angry emotions cause it can lead to things that shouldn't be done. Though there was one (1) incident in my life when I was hurt so bad and I wasn't able to control myself. I had the feeling that I had to let it out so I got hold of a wooden figurine and threw it on a mirror. After doing that I snap out of it and felt sorry that my mirror broke. That was the last time I felt intense anger and learned to control it since. Ciao!

Yes that happened to me but I tried my best to keep my cool and think logically. For me I just stay away from that person or thing that caused me such anger. I'll try what you've written looks like it could help me as well.

many a time!!! when i was younger i had alot of pent up anger and rage towards someone whho ruined my life over a prolonged period of time, however i got away from them although still had to see on occasission, i used to fantasise about killing this person. when i left i took a watch that belonged to them and placed a bullet on it, thinking one day id use the bullet and have the watch engraved with 'times up', at one point this person was about to ruin someone elses life and i was actually prepared and started walking the good few miles with a knife in my jacket, ready to end his evil, fortuantely a friend so me and the look in my eyes and forced me to go in and talk to them first and in the end talked me out of it, since then ive had a lots of therapy and found calmer ways to deal with my anger and also now i am happily married with children of my own my anger takes a long time to surface and i can feel it before its really angry and control it.
