Regulate my emotions

@lausau123

It can be incredibly difficult to regulate emotions and I understand where you're coming from. I like to rip or stab paper or boxes to take out emotions. 

@lausau123 I can totally understand where you are coming from. I also have problems regulating my anger. Did you know that anger is actually the most universal emotion? I think its a feeling we all get and a feeling that is really hard to tame. I try to avoid situations that i know will anger me, but of course we can't always do that. When I notice myself getting angry I try to excuse myself and do some deep breathing. I find that while I'm focused on my breathing, not only does my mind relax but my body too, and I become much more calm and can return to the situation with a level head 

hope this helps :)

I can relate, anger can be hard to manage. Anger is one of those complex types of emotions. What I usually do is mediation or mindfulness practice. It helps me clear my mind and really think with a clearer head. 

Hi @lausau12 !

First of all, thanks for reaching out. Anger is a complex emotion and regulating it can be hard.

Identifying that you're becoming angry is super important and is the part that I struggle the most with personally.

For me, cold water/cold cloth/ice on my face helps me calm down. Even things like drinking water or any activity that buys my brain some time to calm down really help.

The most important thing I think, is to disengage. When you're doing something and you feel yourself getting angry, stop (if that is possible). Step away from the situation / trigger.

These are what work for me personally! Regardless of what you try, please remember that the first step is to take it easy and not be too harsh on yourself <3 You deserve compassion and kindness, and it's okay to have slip ups as long as you're trying

There are many coping strategies out there but one I’ve started using is just to pause and think, “I'm feeling really fired up right now. Maybe I should calm down.” Something that has really worked for me is hugging something. Yes a bit strange but it works!

if I’m at home, I might hug a stuffed animal or pillow. If I’m at school I like to hug myself and just take a few deposits breaths and take a break!!

If you are having trouble regulating your emotions especially anger then you should try journaling. Whenever you are angry try to note down what is making you angry, how do feel and react when you are angry and try to observe things that makes you calm in these situations 

@lausau123

One of the most helpful strategies I have found for coping in these situations is removing yourself from the current environment (if possible), to a more quiet and comforting place, and focusing on your breathing. Breathing techniques have stood the testament of time, and they always will help your heart rate lower and emotions become more easily attainable, like positivity and most importantly, calmness. 

Hi @lausau123

Regulating emotions can be quite a hassle. I for one have suffered from bad temper feats. 

I found an article online years ago that said to count to 20 in your mind before reacting, I've been doing that and it works for the most part. Other things I do is leave the scene or totally avoid the person if they keep triggering me and won't stop even after telling them how I feel.

Hey 🌷

These are strategies that I using it maybe you can try it if you like 

Deep Breathing  When you feel anger rising, take slow, deep breaths to calm your body and mind.

Count to Ten I know some ppl find it weird but for me it helps me alot by Pause and count slowly to ten before responding. This can give you a moment to collect your thoughts. Especially when I take deep breath with it 

 Physical Activity  like exercise or walk in nature or  physical activities to release built-up tension 🍃

IdentifyTrigger for me  a journal was helpful to identify what specifically triggers my  anger or stress , which can help you prepare for those situations.

Maybe try Practice Mindfulness Techniques like meditation can help you become more aware of your emotions and reduce impulsivity

Take a Break: If possible, remove yourself from the situation until you feel calmer. Sometimes just being off stress can help us 

Talk It Out: Find a trusted friend or therapist to discuss your feelings and frustrations

I hope it can helps you 🌷😇
