Anger issues

I’ve always had anger issues since high school. It got worse as I got older and I think it has ruined many friendships. I’m afraid of losing my current friends now because of my anger issues. How do I cope with them? I don’t like to meditate because it makes me anxious. I do like yoga and I do like to color. I was bullied a lot and I hated myself for being the weird kid in school. How do I learn to let go of my painful past?

  • The 2 most common things I've found are: 1. Unresolved issues. 2. Sensory assault. 

    Both of these require a bit of mindfulness, awareness, and active participation to address and fix. I would suggest taking on one thing at a time.

    Letting go is not an easy thing. We need Resolve. That can mean a great deal of effort in learning about relationships and human psychology. I've found books can help. Getting a mentor and a therapist can help. Learning how to protect and care for ourselves - assert boundaries and identify what is abusive. Autistics tend to experience a great deal of injustice.

    Writing everything down and filling notebooks can actually help. But I might even suggest presenting some things you went through here in this forum. You might find many of us have gone through the same and sometimes being affirmed and feeling connected to others with similar experiences who recognise what you went through can have a profoundly healing effect.
