How? It comes and goes and then comes and then goes again. It's random and it causes cathartic daydreaming, but out of self preservation, how do you control it?

This is my personal daily struggle. All day every day, "waves of frequent anger" is a perfect way to describe it. The anger for me moves into rage, it never stays at a point of just anger. Anger I can control. Rage I can not. The littlest nothing will just trigger me for no reason at all. Once it starts, it's very difficult if at all possible, to stop.
I'm very curious about this too and who else shares this struggle and what you do.
TBH Most of the time I can't control it. I just rage. Other times I can become distracted by my dog, cold weather helps, summer time is a bitch.

The only thing I know how to do is distract myself until it's gone. Else I might end up stabbing the nearest person.
Like the other day when I was driving down the freeway and this guy wailed on his horn behind me for 2 or 3 minutes flat and then we got stopped in traffic. Was hope, hope, hoping he'd get the fuck out of his truck and come to my window. That shit was bubbling right at the surface and I could feel it like an orgasm waiting to be released.
But yeah, I don't know how to effectively control it aside from distracting myself.
I have a headache.
by BreakthroughEver try tracing your thoughts backwards? Where it comes from, the root of it? Nothing wrong with anger, but knowing where it comes from and acknowledging it. Loses it's grip on you. or go for a run, that always works.
Exercise is key to healthy living. :p

HA HA yeah it does feel like an orgasm waiting to be released.. touche'
Headaches actually happen during and after too, constant headaches from the stress of even worrying IF I will rage.

I'm trying to "retrace" what it is that always causes this too, like was earlier mentioned, but really I just want to stab someone.
There was a thread like this a couple of days ago. I never have really got that rage thing but I do just feel like twisting someones head off sometimes. Try to calm down and take a breather
You can practice meditation although I have never done this.
Listen to classical music.
Do an easy Sudoku or crossword puzzle.
Concentrate on your breathing
think of something that makes you happy
Best wishes!
