There are many great sites on "anger management"...we also have some good threads here on the topic.

Here's just one
Anger and Narcissim

There is a search function on the forum that will give you what we have here...otherwise, try google or another search engine.

I'm sorry that you seem to be in some kind of distress....please feel free to come here and ask, get support or whatever you need

Stop caring. When I stop caring about something, it doesn't seem to bother me any more. Stop signs use to bother me, now I don't care and ignore them.

I seek contentment and peace and happiness above all else. These are state of mind things, something that "I" can control, unlike the weather, or other people. I've always hated the fact that we are like puppets, where another can pull our strings and cause us to act all crazy. Cut those strings. Stop caring. Disassociate from that which pulls your strings.

Sometimes we have to deal with naturally confrontational people that intentionally drive us crazy. In those instances I would simply smile and walk away to go continue being happy somewhere else.

Oh, smoking can help with anger too. Every time something upsets you, go have a smoke first before deciding to get all reactionary. Eventually you'll associate anger with the desire to walk away and go have a smoke instead.

When you decide that anger is no longer going to control you, but rather that you are going to control IT, you will be free. Anger is really nothing more than a selfish addiction.

So true Judee and good advice.

I recall some reading I was doing several years ago, where the teachings depicted negative emotions: jealously, anger, hate, envy etc. as "egos" which fed on this negative energy.

It was an interesting way to visualize these negative emotions and forces.

You are right...stop feeding them or letting them control you or at minimum increase your awareness to ask, what "ego" or energy is trying to geed of me can be an affective tool.
