How can I learn to better manage my anger? I think it’s usually caused by sensory overstimulation and alexithymia (difficulty identifying or expressing emotions). I’ve been trying self-care and being more aware of my triggers, such as social situations and changes in routine, to hopefully prevent meltdowns. I think I default to anger when overwhelmed because I used to cry so much that it made others uncomfortable, to the point that exes left me for being “too emotional.” So now I’m traumatized, and I express my feelings through verbal aggression and occasionally I have involuntary violent outbursts. I don’t want to be this way. I know I need more therapy, but I was just wondering if anyone has similar experiences.
