RU ever Just Angry

[!Luck]

Is anyone ever just irrationally angry? Like some days for no real reason, you are just angry. Nothing really is the cause. Best I could compare it to is when a women is PMSing, but at least they have a biological reason.

I get this for a few hours at a time every six weeks or so, but it's not the sort of anger where you're pissed off, it's the sort of anger where I can barely think, form sentences or concentrate, and what feels like this dark, acrid toxicity fills my brain and oozes from my every pore. Every sibilance I speak feels like a poison bullet. People find it hard to be around me when this happens.

I tend to ignore it and drink lots of water.

I remember reading long ago that men do experience cyclical chemical shifts in their brains just like women's periods.. only we don't bleed out of our sexual orifice as a symptom.

[Lukie]

yup

[wufwugy]

I'm the opposite of this I guess, always have been. Didn't cry as a baby, didn't even cry during or after delivery. Always just very calm as my baseline

I am, however, more often than I would like to be, angry for specific reasons, but not for irrational reasons. My solution to most problems is a plain and simple "relax"

Yeah, we bleed from the other guy's face.

For me, irrational anger over small things is a symptom of some imbalance in my life. Poor sleep, no exercise, too much bullshit from work/home/family all at once or something like that.

The anger is without fail a symptom of some underlying problem, and a slap in the face to get my shit in order.

I spent a large percentage of my life (some say way too much) being irrationally angry. I went to shrinks (put a rubber band on your wrist, when you feel angry, snap it, it'll bring you back to reality..."Doc...reality is pissing me off...give me some drugs to take me out of it.")

I've been fired from jobs and almost lost my wife and family because of this anger. A very good doctor realized that it was a symptom of depression and got me help for it...now, I'm a pretty cool, calm and collected guy.

I suggest you seek help.

yeah I normally get angry at those around me when I haven't been at all productive for a couple of days or am otherwise disappointed in/hating on myself. the fun part is then my brain is like "you are angry at this person, there must be a reason for this, what is it" and then takes something they've done thinks up some preposterous reasoning for why that was TOTALLY TERRIBLE of them to justify the anger so I'm not just being a cunt.

i think this is common amongst most people. though few realise the cause of their anger. most see it as being caused by the external factors (life/work/family situation etc) rather than accepting that the cause might be inside them. nice post.

[jyms]

Never happens to me.

ya, I started to realize the root of my anger in the last few years. Being able to recognize the root of your grumpiness is the first step in addressing it. I think a big mistake people make when trying to address their anger issues is that they suppress the feeling instead of accepting that its there, and rationally exploring it. When you suppress, it just builds up, and you will blow up eventually (serenity now!). When you rationally explore negative thoughts you normally find that it traces back to the things d0zer mentioned.. being depressed, overtired, unproductive, etc. You are almost always externalizing your own failures, and this causes you to aim all that negativity towards others.

On the next level, recognizing that everyone is going through the same shit, and that almost no one has had this revelation of sorts that we are talking about, makes dealing with others far easier. Instead of responding to their negativity with your own negativity, you can just realize that they are likely externalizing their displeasure with themselves. Being able to see that the root of their anger isn't really something you've done makes it far easier to just brush it off and move on.

Nice post Boost... one day I hope to be mature enough to get to this point, for now though I'm just pissed.

[Shotglass]

Why get angry at events that are beyond your control? Why give someone else the power over you to affect your emotions?

This and it's usually gone within 5 minutes

And when people are being stupid (not goofy stupid, but irrational stupid)

I try to meditate but all I end up doing is thinking about Batman.

If you can maintain a static image of batman in all his glory for an extended period of time, you're meditating.

[BennyLaRue]

I...cannot.

He won't stay still.

and then you always snap out of it, right as he's getting down to just his utility belt left?

No, I can usually stick around for the good part. Sometimes Tom Selleck or Batgirl joins, depending on how I'm feeling that day.
