Spoke with a friend today about classic self relaxation techniques such as taking a deep breath--I don't think it works!
The thing is, I recognize my problem as far as anger control. I even think I have been going on for years without a diagnosis of bipolar disorder or maybe I just simply need to find a practical yet effective anger management class. Ok, back to self relaxation technique like taking a deep breath. A friend said that it helps you psychologically by concentrating on inhaling and exhaling--keep doing so repeatedly until you are eventually........relax *sign.* In addition to that she said, after breathing in and out, you will need to acknowledge your anger, frustration, agitation and whatever and however you are feeling, then tell yourself to stop thinking about that, moving on and developing positive thoughts. And that's supposed to help. She said it actually helps.
Earlier on today, some idiots at work took me off big time. Man, am I mad? Yes. I tried the above recommendations, but it lasted about 2 sets of in/exhales then BOOM, I got corrupted by bad thoughts. I didn't happen. I think I went off on someone (FYI: and don't really feel bad about it.) So far, taking deep breaths don't really help me as much, but going off on someone helps. Yelling is great and cursing is also a plus. Jeez, you know, after yelling for about 2 minutes, man...I actually did fell so damn great!

I cannot remember when was the last time I went that mad. As long as it's none of my business, it doesn't effect me.
Even something does happen to me, if I don't give a damn, it cannot have any influence on my emotions.
I found anger is coming out from inside me only. Now that I don't pay much attention to anything/anyone, I have less anger.
They say people cannot drive you crazy unless you let them.
Yeah.. I have less anger but a lot more desensitization!!
