Regulate my emotions
I have been having difficulty regulating my emotions when I get angry.
if anyone has any coping strategies please let me know

I can relate when it's difficult to manage anger ... I think it is one of those emotions that most people have trouble dealing with ...some people shut down ... some people burst out ... some seek a different way
how do you manage it usually? or what helps you calm down when you feel angry?
for me ... it helps sometimes, kinda knowing my triggers? so I try to avoid those when possible
might also be helpful to try some ways to ground and calm.
I like to journal sometimes ... but mostly I shut down and cry 😅 which prolly isn't the best way to deal xD ... we can keep trying tho and see what helps us feel more in control of our anger... than letting anger control us. I believe in you 💕
I usually have outbursts and I shut down a lot and cry

Hi! I personally struggle with my anger as sometimes it becomes very unbearable and overwhelming, I usually burst out in tears but sometimes I try to calm myself down by chewing some ice, cold shower, playing with my animals, and watching some funny videos to try to avoid the burst of emotion.
@bestTurtle618 those are nice ways to calm down:)
@Optimisticempath When I feel angry, I try to call some helplines to help me feeling better.
@patientShell1003 that is brave of you to reach out for support <3
@lausau123 I've recently been exploring guided meditation to help with my anger and anxiety. It just really helps me to relax and let go of my troubling feelings. Here's on of my favorite ones and there are a ton more on YouTube. It's been a wonderful resource for me. Best of luck to you <3.

@lausau123when I get angry, I think of three things that make me happy, I refocus my mind on something other then my anger, this is not to dismiss your anger, but maybe that could be addressed after you’ve cooled down for a bit, then visit why you were angry and maybe by then you wouldn’t be so angry, works for me anyway, ✌🏻

Hi when you feel anger rising, try stepping away from the situation for a moment. Take deep breaths, count to ten, or even go for a short walk. This can give you the space you need to calm down and think more clearly. I would try to deal with that matter that make me angry after a while preferably after days. Instead of lashing out in anger, try expressing the matter calmly and assertively. Also, I think what's most effectively is to identify the trigger, if it's a particular person or a subject matter. See if you can avoid that trigger and remind yourself this trigger could easier anger you.
@lausau123 Hi! I am sorry you find yourself in that situation. Managing emotions can be challenging, and the first step to manage them is to recognize which emotion we are experiencing.
Each person has a different way to deal with their emotions and I am sure you will find what works best for you!
I am attaching for you couples of things I read about it and that I think you might find helpful. I like to provide some inputs for people to be able to find their own path!

I wish you all the best! :)
@glowingPond
thank you. I will take a look at the links you sent me.
Yes it is hard for me in this situation and it’s definitely hard for me to manage my emotions but I will get there at some point.
