does anyone have this problem, i basically am a very nice and stable person for most of the time, but small things sometimes make me really angry for no apparent reason at all, for example i was using my cell phone once and it hung up on me for some reason, and i suddenly got so mad that i threw it against the wall and it broke, i got really sad about that later on, but i cannot describe the rage i felt at that moment. this has only happened to me only 3 or 4 times in my life, and every time it's happened something really crappy happened to be just before it. i've been told that i repress my feelings a lot, i dont show any emotion for the most of the time, and some of my friends tell me that this is the reason i get angry like this, what do you guys think, and does anyone else have this same problem

hihi,first of all gimme a high five! hehe..im also the same s u..most of the time im rather emotionless cos that's just the way i choose to be to avoid potential conflict with others when im mad at them etc..erm im not sure if we r similar in terms of the latter part though..hehe.. maybe u can try to take a deep breath in future when u encounter this again?then u can start to analyse if it's worth getting angry about after u have cooled down.would that help? :) difference btw me n u is that i often repress my feelings even when im very angry n about to explode,unless i really cannot bottle them up any longer..then the volcano erupts..

I have ever been in this kind of situation. It was when I was in middle school. I didn't even remember why I was so angry at that time, but I remember I threw my Linkin Park cassette against the wall so hard that it broke into some pieces. I suddenly regretted it and started to cry. Cried for the cassette and also to relieve the anger. I was sticking it back together when I cried. I know I have a short temper towards anything, but that one was too much. I never throw anything against the wall actually, no matter how angry I am.

Hi, I have the same problem. I am a nice person to be around with and I don't get into fights so much with anyone. Nor do I offend people much. But I have this tendency to lose my temper at times particularly when things are not going right or even when someone is rude to me. I hate it when I am doing something honestly and someone points fingers at me wrongfully. Of late I have met two such people who pretended to be friends but were actually backstabbers. I really lost my cool then. Also, I am very sensitive and tend to get hurt easily. One of my good friends said she had this problem but with regular deep breathing exercises, she has been able to reduce this problem to a great extent. I am thinking of starting this too. I am sorry to hear that you broke your phone in a fit of rage. Often we regret things that we have done in anger. I have faced this situation too many times in life. I hope I can be more relaxed, calm and composed and take things in my stride. But still I cannot tolerate dishonest people and liars.

Hi friend, welcome to mylot. I too have this problem previously, in fact i am getting anger easily and spoiled a lot of things with my anger. Some of my friends suggested me to do meditation, it is the good way to come out from anger, i too follow this suggestion and started meditation, day by day my anger is reduced, now i am free from this problem. Now too, i am getting anger, but i don't spoil anything and learn to control my anger with the meditation.
