Hello everyone,
Anger is a interesting demon I face because while it is not ever directed towards someone else, it is in fact always directed at myself in my moments of self destruction behavior. It often appears in moments of anxiety and stress, which I often seem to experience due to a number of reasons but I'd normally attribute it to my own destructive childhood where it never felt safe. In response to living in such a highly stressful environment, I became used to intense situations and living in a state of 'fight or flight' mode was extremely harmful for my own state of mine. Once I moved out and started living on my own, my body and mind was not used to the normalcy of life thus triggering states of panic was a normal reaction to very normal every day things. This is also called Post-Traumatic-Stress Disorder, which is something something I do have to live with but have accepted it and am now open to talking about.

It was not a healthy way to express feelings of frustration, and I've instead adapted the focus on myself rather then other when I feel anger which is just as unhealthy as to direct it at someone else. Most of it is very self deprecating, extremely hostile and negative which has not done myself any favors. When you take anger out on yourself, you tend to demean your own self worth and esteem in various ways. Such has telling myself I would never be good enough or how stupid I was for not being able to do a simple
The Department of Veterans Affairs says that anger is a common complaint of people who are diagnosed with PTSD, which is an anxiety disorder. And researchers from Cordova University believe anger and anxiety are related. If you have been diagnosed with PTSD or other anxiety disorder, it’s important for you to understand anger.
Bowman-Edmonson and Cohen-Conger, (1996) included within their review the theories and models of anger to assess the different treatment approaches for different clients. Again, this study also has methodical limitations due to few studies being reviewed and the low number of subjects in the studies making it difficult to detect which treatment works best between groups. In view of the limitations of methodology in the first two met-analysis reviews, the third meta-analysis conducted by Beck and Fernandez (1998) expanded their inclusion criteria totally to 50 studies. As much as the review found anger control improved for the subjects, the limitations to the review consisted of treatments containing cognitive and behavioural components without
When it comes to anger issues, it seems almost second-nature to ignore or deny their existence. Why blame yourself when you can let your co-worker or that cashier know how you really feel? I mean, they’re the ones that caused the problem, right? But let’s really think about it; yes, your co-worker did spill coffee on your paperwork, and yes, that cashier did accidentally short-change you, but did those instances really warrant such an explosive reaction? Did it really anger you so much to continue your aggressive behavior for hours afterward? When we fail to realize our anger triggers and sweep that important self-dialogue under the rug, it’s easy for us to become wrapped up in a state of perpetual denial. Worse yet, if we’re cognizant of our anger problems, we often believe the factors that lead to our volatile feelings will somehow ‘work themselves out’. Conversely, anger is present in the home-life of thousands of families all across the globe.
The article I read, The relation of depression and anxiety to life-stress and achievement in students, written by Bernice Andrews and John M. Wilding was a study conducted after there was an increase in students seeking mental services. The two decided to research if there was a correlation between an increase in depression and anxiety after starting college and how
Walking into a school, workplace, or home with a scowl on your face and it moping around with your head hanging down and your eyes staring at the ground isn’t anger. Anger isn’t serene or tranquility, its an outburst of frustration. Anger is holding your breath till your face turns blue and not being able to breathe. Anger is a feeling of resentment and rage (DEFINITION). It’s a feeling of hatred towards someone or something. Anger can build and build inside of you for so long that one day you will just snap. You will start hollering at everyone for something they didn’t do and will start punching, throwing, or tearing things up. Sometimes when people express their anger they may become belligerent. Why do people get anger? Is it something that inherited from generation to generation or is just a feeling built up inside for so long that you just become annoyed with everything in life?
As Mahatma Gandhi said, "Man often becomes what he believes himself to be." Therefore, if you feel that you are a very stressed person or doomed to feel stressed out, then you will likely find ways to manifest that stress through your perception on life. In addition, you won 't even bother to learn how to deal with stress because you won 't believe you can.
According to studies, women have a 30.5% chance of being diagnosed with anxiety than men.
Hi Roslyn, your discussion was straightforward and highlighted many excellent points. Interestingly, Harvey, Talbot & Gershon (2009) stated that sleep problems is a core symptom of bipolar disorder. Do you believe it can be explained why there appears to be a relationship between mental disorders and sleep disturbance? To add to the possible treatments you listed, yoga, exercise and meditation can be employed as a means of treatment as these activities, especially yoga, have been recognized for their therapeutic effects (Woodyard, 2011). I was able to learn from your description on how stress and anxiety disorders can wreak havoc on one's physical health. Personally, I have witnessed the havoc stress can wreak on someone's health as unfortunately,
Anger, an emotion we all experience, has been the reason for many of the problems the world faces today. Rage can come from something as minuscule as stubbing a toe or from a rejection of any kind. It is a key factor in violence, fights, and murder, and it can turn into something life-altering if felt strongly
In my opinion, if you are stressed, you can walk around the house, the office, the street that you like it, or anything........to be honest or special, you can walk in the night, because i think the air in the night different in the afternoon.......or maybe you wanna tried in the morning......that's okay to forget your stress and make your body healthy.....but i think most people will make the highest strees in the night, because of traffic jam, tired of the work, angry to the client, or the homework is so hard......then you can walk until your body or your mind is relax
and social self, and is associated with feelings of shame. This uncontrollable and constant stress can cause severe mental health side effects such as anxiety and can lead to a mental health diagnosis.
It’s test day, someone has a crucial test that will determine his final grade, and he is feeling slightly overcome with anxiety. The day progresses, and the worries of this student escalates. This person is different from his classmates, who fret little. Instead,
In life people bring out different emotions from those of fear, happiness, sadness, desperation and so on. Anger is also among the various emotions exhibited by human beings. It can be a healthy emotion when controlled. Although, whenever it gets out of hand, it leads to destruction such as health risks.

A week after my seventh birthday, I woke up to the news that my grandma had departed back to our homeland to care for my dying grandfather. I did not take the news lightly, the one person I truly cared for and loved so deeply was out of my grasp. Long gone was the timid behavior, I had become one of those aggressive brats that every kid hated. Needless to say, growing up was difficult. Fortunately, my mother made sure I got the needed help to ensure I was no threat to myself or others. I learned to suppress my anger, maybe a bit too well. To this day, it is incredibly difficult to get me to act out of anger.
I constantly hold a grudge and accused others for my decisions in life. After visiting a counselor, I found the root of all my anger. At a very young age, I fell in love with sports. I started playing basketball because my mom was really good at it so I thought maybe I could be good in it as well. My mother was a single parent of three and could not afford extra-curricular activities.
