Dealing with Extreme Reactions to Anger

i’ve honestly never related to something so much before. i’ve always had bad anger growing up. i’ve had social anxiety since i was 9 and so i kept my anger outbursts to myself. but i would get riled up very easily over dying playing an online game with a friend and i would go nonverbal out of fear of say something. my anger would get really bad that i would hurt myself too. the only thing that’s ever helped me really relax honestly is weed. maybe not what you’re looking for but it helps calm all my anger my thoughts within a few mins and i finally get that sense of peace. but if i’m out in public out at work then i will usually strip myself away from the situation. doesn’t matter if you’re in the middle of a conversation. do what’s best for you and take yourself out of it. go to the bathroom or step outside or in your car and have that time by yourself or with a friend and i always focus on my breathing. i usually also have a game on my phone called decor life that i love to escape on. nothing about it is difficult so ik i won’t get angry over anything. music also helps me so much. i have a playlist of music that’s relaxing. i highly recommend LP. their music and voice is breathtaking and helps me calm down. but don’t worry you’re not alone. if you ever need to chat about anything more i’m always down! just send me a private message 💕💕

I have pretty intense rage episodes sometimes. Typically they’re triggered by overstimulation, but sometimes they just happen out of nowhere. The best way I’ve found to deal with them is to try and take a breath, explain that I need some time to calm down, then distract myself with a comfort show or some music. Once I’m a little calmer it’s easier to talk about it. When I was able to explain it to my partner, he was really understanding and gives me space when I need it. We all are deserving of help and care
