Aggression in adults


Hi!

I really struggle with my emotions, in particular anger. I can’t seem to control my anger at all. It will be over small things and usually out of frustration. I was wondering if anyone had found a way of coping with anger as an adult and if there are any groups/therapies that are helpful in this area as it’s beginning to effect my relationships with my family/friends/partner.

thanks!

  • I feel angry alot lately too. I feel like such an evil person for it. I lash out then I spend the time after full of shame, guilt and self hatred. I can't go for therapy because I mask. I am now looking into PDA. If I haven't got that then I'm just a horrible human. I hope you can find the help you need and if you find it, please share because I need some hope here.

  • I’m exactly the same. I mask really well so people don’t see it, only close family really see it. I’ve gone through my whole life being told I’m horrible and that my anger will mean no one will love me and I won’t be able to cope with a job etc (even though I’ve managed both). I have found that exercise helps me a lot. I do cold water therapy by swimming in the sea all year round and that seems to be really beneficial. I think it’s just something that takes time to get better. I hope you find the help you need and thank you so much for replying it makes me feel so much less alone.
