Hey guys i need help. I have always held my anger back for a long time. No one knows this and my parents are agitating me more than usual. I feel like if they don't stop i'll snap and go ballistic on them. I don't like myself when i get really mad because i have no idea what happened after i call down. Need Advice!!

If it is that you don't want your anger to go out on them try to use your anger on other things. Example scream in a pillow and punch it till you feel satisfied.

>>2 Exactly. Just let it all out. Don´t hold it in. But don´t let it out on people, it tends to end up with them hurt and you in trouble. Not even scream into a pillow, scream outside. I feel that when I scream into a pillow it isn´t enough, almost like I'm hiding my anger. I like to go outside and scream as loud as I can and I don't care who hears me. It makes me feel better. As for physical force, a suppose a pillow will have to do otherwise you'll hurt yourself hitting other breakable stuff.

Exercise! It really helps you feel a bit better. Find someone really close to you and rant. Rant, rant, and rant some more! It feels better when it's all out. If you want, even i could listen! I'm sorry i can't offer much more advice than that, i hope it helps though.

Welcome to the club.

all of the above. plus if you go on a walk and get lost it's even better. my mom and I had an argument and I went on a walk and it was at night and I just recently moved so I didn't know my neighborhood and got lost for an hour. it really helped.

Giving in to the emotions/impulse is bad for self-control in the long term when living in human society.

On the other hand - bottling emotions up is bad for health.


Finding the source of anger and dealing with it is an optimal solution.

Ness, lemme tell you something.

Those bottled up emotions? Once that bottle breaks, you're gonna be hell.
Not CRACKED. I'm talking about that seal SHATTERING to smithereens.

Like, all you will feel is anger, sadness, and everything else all burned together. You will most likely lose control over anything and everything. It WILL kill you. You will lose all who are near to your heart.

Ness...once that f#cking bottle breaks....you will become a monster.

I'm telling you this because...it happened to me too. Not all the way, my homie managed to mend SOME of the pieces together, so I wasn't completely gone.
Dude, I will tell you this straight up, I was SO far gone.
I f#cked up so bad. Like, you wouldn't even fathom what I did.

BUT, f#ck all that "you're so screwed" sh#t.
At this point, try discipline. Join a Karate Class, or Wrestling Team. This way you will release emotions, but still manage to have control over that. Or go for a run or start punching walls and maintain physical physique by working out.

Do SOMETHING. Cuz, I'd be damned if you did what I did. I'm trying to warn you. PLEASE do SOMETHING.

I expect a message from you soon.
Good luck. Cuz you will need it.

Seoshi and everyone that you for your advice. I greatly appreciate it.

Welcome man. Just know that we WILL give advise when needed
That being said, tried anything yet?

I've gotten back into meditation.

That's great! How ever, is it actually gonna work? I'm only saying this cuz you said that you are going back to it.
Does that mean it didn't help you in the first place?

i started in my last year of middle school then i got into high school and i had barely any time to do it.

Good advice in this thread...

>>13 Thanks man, we try. XD
>>12 Oh, ok. Good luck.
