Do you get angry from time to time? No matter, we all get angry from time to time, it's a normal human response to some stressful and difficult situations. But when that gets out of control that's another matter.
Anger is a human emotion. Like many emotions it can become overpowering, and get out of control. And for some people this is the case. And if anger becomes uncontrolled it can do serious damage to so many different areas of your life.
And excessive anger can lead to behaviors that are less than desirable, like shouting at people, chronic sulleness or grumpiness, withdrawal into yourself, overt aggression with other people, moroseness and more.
And there can be way more serious manifestations like violence and threats of violence to other people including the sufferers family, loved ones and children. When anger reaches this stage it is way out of control and something has to be done about it.
And the impact on the lives of the sufferers are severe. Relationships may break down completely, and they can become lonely, resentful and withdrawn, feeling like they've totally lost control of their life. And worse.
And on top of this there are serious health implications that have been uncovered by the research. For example those with uncontrolled anger can suffer from high blood pressure and heart problems and stroke, insomnia, anxiety and depression, digestive problems and headaches and more. Isn't that scary?
And of course an episode is unpredictable, and there is nothing you can do about the event that triggers it. Everyone suffers the usual life setbacks and frustrations. There's nothing you can do to avoid them, they will happen to you. For some people they feel frustrated and angry, but over time that subsides and they carry on with life.
But although you can't stop the frustrating events happening to you you can change your reaction to them. The event will happen but you control how you react to it.
Your reaction is totally within your control. That doesn't mean that right now, understanding this, you can suddenly control yourself. But it does offer hope that there is something you can do if you know what, and how.
