I think I have short term anger problems.

Do you have short term anger problems?

What are short term anger problems(STAP), I here you ask?

 

I made it up right now. Its when you or I get angry for a very short time. For example, when I play golf (which Im not very good at) and I take a bad shot I often throw my club up in the air...which isnt very good. Other times, for instance if Im playing computer games and I lose or make a mistake I shout or hit something. This anger passes in a matter of seconds and Im back to my normal self again. In fact I often think back and say, why was I so angry over that, it was only a game..blady bla.

 

My Mum said today that she thinks I have anger problems. It was meant as a joke, but I wonder do many of you have these sperts of anger...rage even? :stunned:

hahahahha!

 

I do that all the time. Usually, for me, its putting holes in me walls and such.

 

Or saying mean things which I end up having to apoligize for or get into deeper problems.

 

 

Poor you.

same here. well...yeah. if i get upset enough i'll storm out of the house of just scream and scream until my face turns purple. can't throw anything or my parents would beat the living hell out of me.

hahaha that happens to me as well

 

and often it's just one of those small things that bug you off and you make it a big deal. and then, of course, only afterwards do you realize how much you blew it out of proportion. :dozey:

Well there is no such thing as a short term anger problem..it just means you have an anger problem full stop..and you need to deal with it..:P

 

especially if you are hurting other ppl physically! :o

i'm pretty sure i do not have an anger problem though. i don't need to deal with it, i just have to control my reactions in a calmer way lol

I don't. :D

 

It takes a lot for me to get really angry... I think. Well, to punch things or throw things at least. My parents are the only people that can really make me mad... Usually their behavior gets me in a bad mood for a few days and then I finally snap. I almost broke a knuckle just because my dad said something (that wouldn't of made me too mad right now)... And it's funny because I had a big purple bruise on my hand and they didn't notice it. They didn't ask or anything.

 

I get out of hand when I feel worthless though... Or when I'm confused, or feel stupid... I'm not really angry... I just feel like punishing myself. It's weird.... so I punch my wall for no reason sometimes.

 

ANNYYWAYYY

some of u guys are crazy :)

when i get angry i never hit things

 

the best way to manage your anger without hurting anything is by swearing abit while you're doing things that piss u off, like driving or losing a game. And in hebrew u can be so creative with swear words which makes it really fun :)

this is my favorite, my friend made it up:

"You momma sucks on a dead camel dick, u son of a bitch"

especially if you are hurting other ppl physically! :o

 

I dont hurt people physically! I removed that part from my original post, Ive never really hit anyone in anger! :wink:

Oh good to hear that Seamus..:nice:

ooooh....yes I know this too well...

eg once I was so upset about my sister and my mum and that I hit my toe against the wall....after that the big toe was broken and I couldn't really walk for some weeks...

and this was only an anger that lasted for a short time...

 

I don't know what it is...maybe I do not know how to defend myself...or how to help myself in these situations....if there is trouble at home.....it is usually with words....and it is usual that my mum and my sister are always talking and you never can say anything because nobody listens...and this is driving me mad.....and mybe therefore I do things like that....
