Anger and anger issues

Anger is an intense feeling we get when someone does something bad to us or when we’re wronged in some way. 

We all get angry sometimes. You will probably feel anger in any of the following situations:

• another car cuts you off in traffic,
• your upstairs neighbor is being extremely loud,
• your boss yells at you for no reason.

It’s perfectly normal to feel upset, annoyed, or angry in scenarios like that. Anger is not a bad emotion in itself – no emotion is. You have a right to feel angry, but you need to know how to control your feelings so you wouldn’t hurt other people.

Frequent, uncontrolled bursts of anger could suggest that you have some anger issues. Read on about the typical characteristics of anger to identify your problem.

Here are some common symptoms of anger:

• increased energy
• high blood pressure
• tense muscles
• elevated body temperature
• rise of hormone levels like adrenaline

Be honest with us – how healthy are you?

Typical physical signs of anger include:

• clenched fists and jaw
• yelling
• excessive sweating and trembling
• pacing back and forth
• grimacing and scowling

Time to learn your stress levels.

Why do people get mad?

The answer depends on personal characteristics, a specific situation, and how the person assesses the event. Research suggests that certain traits are more connected to anger than others. 

Those who are highly neurotic and those who aren’t very agreeable are more likely to get angry. Other traits and attitudes linked to anger are:

• believing you’re entitled to more things than other people
• not accepting other perspectives
• delicate ego
• being focused on things out of the person’s control

How to manage anger issues?

Talking to a mental health specialist can help you learn to understand your anger, identify triggers that cause you to get upset, and navigate difficult emotions. 

Outside of solo therapy or support groups, there are techniques you can learn to manage anger on your own. Anger management exercises will help you relax and avoid angry outbursts.

To do start the first breathing exercise, inhale slowly into your nose. Then, exhale out of your mouth. Try to breathe out of your belly than out of your chest. Rinse and repeat.

Here’s another breathing exercise for when you’re feeling intense emotions. Sit comfortably with a straightened back. Inhale through your mouth, rolling your tongue into a “tunnel” and allowing the air to flow over it. Following that, close your mouth and exhale via nostrils. Repeat as many times as you like.

Have you ever heard about progressive muscle relaxation? As your frustration grows, your muscles often get tense. In order to calm down, try the technique called progressive muscle relaxation. Slowly tense and then release all your muscles, starting from the top of your head and ending at your toes. You can repeat it several times.

Try an effective visualization technique. Sit down comfortably in a quiet place and imagine a relaxing place. Think about the details. Let your imagination run free. 

If breathing exercises or visualizing things don’t work for you, try to get your blood flowing! Go on a run, hit the gym, or try a dynamic bike ride. If you prefer, you can also put on aggressive music and dance around wildly. Whatever works for you! Regular exercise helps keep stress levels down and is beneficial in general. 

Your body gives you a warning before you blow up. When you get angry, your blood pressure rises, your muscles get tense, you start sweating, clenching your jaw, and your breathing gets quicker. Then it’s time for some breathing exercises!

Different types of anger issues test – multidimensional anger test  

The multidimensional anger test operates on the assumption that people experience anger in several different dimensions. The test measures anger on the following scales:

• frequency – how often a person becomes agitated
• duration – how long do the anger outbursts last
• the way an individual sees the world
• feeling guilty about expressing anger

The test can be used to help figure out if an individual is likely to deveop anger or aggression issues. It can also be used to determine how well an individual can adapt to and handle their angry feelings.
