I know how angry I can get and once I drove myself 3 hours away from a city to make it hard for myself to go confront the asshole who hurt my sister. I know that I have the capacity to get angry beyond control so I remove myself from the situation.
Generally I'm very chilled out but if you hurt the ones I love I struggle to control my words and actions.

As someone who has to live with a person with anger issues, I urge you to seek some anger management counselling. Everyone you know, including yourself, will appreciate it.
Having a moment of anger when appropriate is normal, providing you can get it under control. Living in a constant state of anger is not healthy.

I generally don't get angry. I get frustrated and annoyed, sure, and those cause brief flashes of anger, but I reign myself in pretty quick. Anger isn't a pleasant emotion, and "releasing it" is unusually not a good thing.
What are you angry AT? Generally, whether it's something you can directly address or not, it's better not to just take out your anger on something unrelated, because it'll only come back again later. If it's someone in your life, actually confront them about it (not violently, just tell them how you feel). If it's some political issue, as based on your post it seems to be, express your opinion on it to someone else, as, I guess, you've partially done here.Doclector said:
Just I've found in the past that if there's something you keep getting really angry about it's better to confront it before you get really depressed about it later.Anyway, this isn't the advice forum; personally, I don't tend to find escapism, or taking my anger out with video game aggression, works to help me calm down. I don't release aggression or get more aggressive from playing video games (except when I'm doing really badly, then I get angry, I guess), they're just something I do for fun, and when there's something really pissing me off, nothing will distract me from it - I have to either confront it, or just sit around being angry at nothing until I'm over it. Wish I could get the hang of just distracting myself, but I guess not.
I'm always frustrated at something. Angry, not really. Probably.
It's also not very healthy, and considering my blood pressure problems, I need to take steps to reducing how frustrated I am.
It's difficult to do so without talking to a therapist (which I do not want to talk to).

Thanks to my pills, I don't feel much of anything.
*doom and gloom*
Nah, but the only thing I get really pissed at is when people about to board the subway stand in front of the doors so you can't get out. Tackled and yelled at a few people due to that.

I don't see what the suffering is. Anger is a perfectly normal reaction to stressful situations.
Anger? Oh when I get angry turn into a giant green rage beats and tear up... no wait, that's somebody else.
I don't tend to get angry very often. There are really only a few things that really set me off and usually when they do I just scream and yell about how stupid the person is. I was almost angry enough to hit someone once, but I realized that would be bad so I gave him a bear hug. Actually, that was kind of hilarious.

Mate, I know what you're going through, and I know it's hard, it drove me to the edge of my sanity, you have to learn to detatch yourself emotionally from the things that anger you most, anger clouds your judgement and throws your point of view completely out of alignment, so that the ths you see you mispercieve, and it will anger you more.Doclector said:
My method of emotional detatchment is meditation, I sift through my toughts in a state of completel calm and make sense of them, in that state I can remove the anger from myself through calm reasoning, and planning.
The world we live in, is driven by greed, fear and hate.
The cards will always be stacked against you, and you cannot ever hope to beat them all.
Accept the fact that no matter what you do, you will likely be forgotten or misrepresented in the memories you do leave behind, and just go with it.
Anger will only serve to destroy you, to take away what little enjoyment you can get out of life in this shithole of a society, so don't let it.
You only live once, don't let this one time oppertunity to love and live, enjoy yourself and to enjoy others, pass you by while you stew in your anger, because otherwise, the only thing that gives your existence any meaning whatsoever, will be gone.
After all, we're all just grains of sand on a larger piece of dirt, floating around a tiny little candle-esque flame, lost in the mess of billions of other larger flames, in one of countless clusters of sparks, that likewise float in an immense void incalculable in size, at least to us, and even then our very understanding of that, could be wrong a thousand times over, our perception is entirely decided by a complex series of electrical impulses, and therefore can and possibly have been messed with in the past, and we don't even know if what we percieve is true in the first place... so in reality, we're all meaningless blind dust specks floating around doing nothing of import, bitching and moaning about things because all we can ever see or be concerned with is all just a construct of our own desires and greed.
Just saying, why bother burning yourself out with anger, the people and situations at which you are angry, will be over and gone and forgotten a generation or two down the road, as will you, and I, and all of us really.
Just try to see the big picture, and how meaningless it all is, then try and enjoy yourself some, get a fresh perspective, a new outlook, and let your anger subside and die.
I punched a hole in the wall yesterday. Hit the concrete behind it.
Ow.
So I do that.
And next time it will be that guy's face.

I think that accepting that anger and conflict is a natural part of the human psyche is the key to accepting a large part of yourself as a human being. IE a group oriented creature forced into peculiar social dynamics that rarely caters to everyones needs.
But that's not an answer or even vague hint at one.
Me? I train, physically, by punching stuff, doing martial arts it's apparenly called. I've found that having a small safety valve that allows people to vent is a marvel for keeping my sanity intact. Fighting even if it isn't all out brawling, with someone who know's what they're doing a couple of times a week is a good one for me. But as has been pointed out. It's a pretty subject matter.
I was recently in Italy and noticed this. People SQUABBLE constantly, possibly not over the entirety of the italian surface, but where we were, the did it everywhere, but there were rarely fights, even when having drunk a fair bit.
just saying it to post some vague claim for my safety valve hypothesis.

Slipknot and Korn. And sometimes I punch myself. It isn't healthy but it calms me down cos afterwards I think "Ow fuck why did I do that". Its always in the temple btw. Prototype and Saints Row is my best coping mechanism.
