We all have our bad days, best thing to do is whistle and look on the bright side of life .

Yeah, exercise is probably a good advice. When we′re tired enough we just don′t care about being angry

A good bike ride does wonders for me. It usually involves some walking along the coast as well. Punk tunes blaring in my ears...

It's why winter is harder. Riding in the rain svcks. It's raining today, and had it not been, I'd have been out on my bike at least once already today. Unfortunately I've just been pacing back and forth in my small apartment. Though, it may have stopped for a bit. (As they say here this time of year, "Don't like the weather? Wait 5 minutes!") I may just get my bike ride yet.

Change your diet! Thrombosis is a potentially lethal condition to have and should be a wake up call to change, exercise can help but the biggest impact you can have is to stop eating rubbish food. I would recommend you see a nutritionist and get your blood tested especially for things like triglycerides, cholesterol and fatty liver, I bet your levels are high.

It may well be the reason you're getting angry easily these days because you are unwell, which will raise your base levels of stress. If you have cardiovascular problems the last thing you want to be doing is getting angry and raising your blood pressure.

It's vital that you do walk more. Just pottering around the house means the muscles are gradually wasting away, it really is a matter of use it or lose it. Best to start slowly and gradually increase activity levels in a measured way.

I was completely housebound for physical reasons for several years and it can really drive you round the twist, the isolation and sensory deprivation can seriously mess you up.

Mindboggles is right! I actually have chronic DVT in my left leg because of scar tissue from an old clot. Now I am able to more easily get them. Medication helps and a compression stocking are my norm now. You need to consider being more active. Spikes in blood pressure is all it could take to dislodge a clot and they are lethal.

I have it at times, and it has more and more frequently shown up. Though what sets me off is almost always not the things that truly have me in a state of anger and depression. I flip out at the things that are minor and can be fixed, while I'm upset things that are impossible to fix.


It actually got me into trouble recently as my place of employment suspended me with pay and terms of my return included seeing a mental therapist for at least one session of the three we're offered through our health insurance (no cost to employee).


I have a few outlets, my favorite is hitting the heavy bag. Unfortunately there is never enough time to tape my knuckles and usually there isnt a heavy bag, so I use plywood.

This right here...

While anger in my case, appears to have a small impact on BP(I have low BP), it does damage the heart physically. These days I'm trying to lower the output of my anger.

Sometimes anger cannot be helped, things will piss you off, but don't let it become your life, like I did.

Ill buy you a rocking chair, a shotgun and a porch for your 50th.

I get unreasonably angry lately when people try to lecture me over stuff that I'm clearly right on. Like earlier on another forum I used the term "roguelike" to describe a game, followed immediately by giving what definition I'm using it by saying "I hate games that have permanent character death". Someone came in and said "using the term roguelike is frustrating because it has so many meanings nowadays, and we have no clue which definition you're using" when I clearly gave said definition in the very same post I used it in.

That's just the recent one, I've gotten into a few arguments with other people recently, including my parents over a situation I don't feel like going into, and I ended up going off on them saying "Every single thing you two are yelling at me for, are things I did the way you say I should have, maybe if you took a few moments to [censored] calm down and think the situation through you'd realize that". Except, not quite so nicely because I was flipping pissed off.

Actually, I have several things that make me unreasonably angry nowadays, that's just one of them. I don't think it's an emotional state thing though, I think it's just the stress of getting older and dealing with the issues that arrive with such. As long as I don't let my anger out on my wife or kids it's all good, and considering I'd rather commit hari-kari then do that, I don't think there's much worry there. If nothing else, I always have forums to vent on

I′ve found that when I give in to the anger impulse and blow up, it′s an immediate satisfaction but afterwards I get frustrated because I couldn′t hold it back. I sort of feel ashamed that I got coaxed into it. But those times when I haven′t given in to it and focused on calming down, it′s a much greater satisfaction and it has no downside to it, it only takes a few seconds to get it. And the thing is when you′re angry you don′t have any patience and sort of crave the immediate satisfaction rather than the one that takes a few seconds to get.

I′m more conscious about this whole thing nowadays and I try to keep my calm because there′s almost never a good idea to blow up like that. It only creates more frustration.

The reasons that makes me angry are pretty much political stuff related to Brazil, but sometimes I do remember things that happened to me that sometimes makes me get a little bit of anger.

Thanks. I don't want to make this all about me and my poor health, though I appreciate your concern

I think this is a big factor for me, too, though in America instead of Brazil. So much is happening (or NOT happening) in my country that I do find myself quick to anger out of frustration and that seems to bleed over into other aspects. That anger seems to be simmering right under the surface waiting to boil over at any increase in heat, usually concerning society as a whole, where the few rule the many.

I do but because of my disorder. I have this constant level of stress that keeps me down so any small change can easily erupt an emotion, rather than be a slight annoyance. Mostly, I can control and keep myself calm down but it's hard due to the people I spend time with in both the real world and in my games. (Can't fully get away from stupidity, ignorance or just flat out rude/mean people).

I see you have picked my brain or maybe you just simply live a life similar to mine

I'm oddly somebody who rarely gets angry. I would actually say I can be pathologically un-angry at times. Since there have been scenarios in the past where I've had friends basically screw me over on something, and I was never mad. I was just blatantly sad and betrayed. I also always forgave them immediately after, provided they showed me even a modicum of regret/guilt.

There are however certain kinds of people who can make me angry. Honestly, as someone who has thoroughly research narcissism, machiavellianism, and psychopathy, those who tend to display traits of these three tend to be more prone to angering me. I'm also really good at reading these traits in people. Still, I've a couple of friends who, due to their exploitative tendencies, essentially isolated themselves from most of the people around them, and even though a few of them owe me money, I still try to help them/talk to them about stuff whenever they seem like they need support.

I'm surprisingly a calm person. While there might be some things that get me annoyed or makes me roll my eyes when I'm scrolling some forums or watching tv, I quickly get over it. It does take a lot to get me mad since I've got a lot of patience, and when I do it's that quiet seething anger where people know not to bother me because I'll just glare at them. But it usually just takes some quiet alone time to get over it.

Basically I just ask myself "What's the point in being angry?" It's not going to change anything and it's only going to make me and the people around me miserable.

Sounds like you are beginning to see the world with your true eyes.
