how to control angry?

Honestly, there are times that I really feel angry with someone because of an controllable reason. There are times that my friend joke me and then i find the joke personally that's why i get mad to them and feel angry. In this case, i just keep my mouth silent to resist my anger and control it. In addition the best way of controlling anger is by putting in your mind that you must understand them no matter what happen to avoid trouble with someone.

Step back from a situation before it becomes too much of a problem. Take a deep breath and just calm yourself. Sometimes it just take something simple like that to calm yourself down. I get frustrated a lot myself. There are times when I want to do very violent things and that is a time to just take a couple of minutes to cool do. Hopefully in a little bit of time, the temper will be cooled down.

I just think before I react.Gotta have control over yourself.Most people who have temper problems get angered by something so small.I'm trying to help my problem because I get irratated by little things,I'm trying to build on my patience and trying to stop myself.I'm teaching myself to think before I have a reaction.It is hard,I'm seeing a doctor about my problem because I think mine comes from being bi-polar.I think I need meds.I'm looking to help my problem.It's hard ,I hope you get a handle on it.
