Question 55 ~ Anger

What is the angriest you have ever been and how did you resolve it?

It's really odd today I opened the jar and this question fell out.  I had let my anger get away from me a bit the last few days, about something that I really shouldn't have..
I am not an angry person.  I do get upset or mad, but it usually passes quickly.  So lately being angry or being "set off" so easily is different for me.  I was thinking last night I needed to look at this and why do I allow people to get inside my head so much lately.  Then this question falls out.  Someone trying to tell me something?
Well, to answer the question.  I can't really give a specific example because there are a couple of times that I have been angry to the point of being almost out of control.  It always revolved around my children, someone hurting them, their father's messing with their little heads, or losing them.  In each case I've learned that being crazy mad doesn't solve a thing, sometimes I've learned that the hard way.  But it's always a lesson learned. 
Anger just eats away at the good in my heart.  So, when I get like that now, I try to realize that the person who I'm most angry at is ME!

Well, I am new to your journal and I haven't played along yet but this question spoke to me. The angriest I have ever been was about 15 years ago. I had married for the 2nd time...after the 1st year I could feel something was going on but couldn't put my finger on it...well our phone had redial on it and it sure was handy...I redialed a number...no one answered but a womens voice was on the message and it gave her phone #...(this was way before caller ID) my husband wouldn't fess up but now I Know What the Deer in the Headlights look is...I won't go into all the gorey details but one Sat. my husband was supposed to go with me to a work function at a local water park...that morning he said he could go.....he left the apt....I smelled something funny so I drove out of the way (I knew where this other woman lived)...sure enough I saw his vehicle going down the other side of the highway...I went on to the event... I was a Mgr and had to go... I only stayed about an hour....I put on my detective hat and thought ok where would he go to in the area with the other woman...there was a movie theatre near by so I drove up and down in the parking lot looking for his car....I couldn't believe I had gotten to this point but the torture had been going on for a year and I had to know the truth. Well low and behold his car was there... I was so mad the thought of ramming his vehicle with mine crossed my mind- he loved that car...I didn't do it because I would be the one in jail and then lose my job and I wasn't going to let that happen. I parked right next to it so he couldn't see my car. I sat there for 3 hours in 115 degree heat, in my bathing suit top and shorts, I was dying. When he finally walked out he was with her and her two kids.... I was livid....I Sprang out of my car and of course I was a screaming mimi.....How did I resolve the matter...divorce, antidressants and a counsler...took my at least 3 years to recover.

Girl, That is my biggest fault. You wouldn't believe the times I have been told that I need anger managment. I let it control and consume me and to this day I still haven't learned to control it. I've physically hurt people, broken things, and even hurt myself.

Eww too many to pick just one, lol.  Usually I don't get mad, I guess I hold on to it and let it fester until it just explodes but the older I get the more I usually turn it back on to the person who set me off to begin with.  I have gotten to the point of "out of control" and it isn't me so I try and keep that in my mind so that I don't go back to that and I try and resolve it in other ways, be it physical (not fighting but maybe working out or something to that effect) or creatively, it just depends on the situation and what it calls for.  I don't feel as if I have had my "angriest" moment at least not yet, lol.

I'm really not sure when I've been the angriest, however, these days when I get angry I try to resolve it with humor and journalling until I'm ready to discuss it with the person I'm angry at.  If I'm not in the position to ever discuss it with the person I'm angry at, then I find a few good friends and we talk about her behind her back over something chocolatety! ::wink::  LOL!  Hugs, Sheila

okay- i hate this question, because i am in the middle of the angriest time in my life- it has lasted proabaly over 3 years now. i am at the lowest point in my marriage- there has been so much crap to deal with that i find myself angry often- at him, at myself, at god.  as far as resolving the anger- i too have taken meds, have been in counseling for 3 years and am working on getting myself strong, dealing with my anger and disappointments. not sure how it will ultimately be resolved, but i know one thing that he and i agree on for sure- we cant continue to live like this because we probably will end up killing each other or these problems will kill who we are as people. not a pleasant answer, but as honest as i can be.

I think it would have to be 10/26/1978
That is the day my father passed away in surgery. It was a bypass operation on his heart and he died during surgery.
When the doctors came out to tell us that they lost him, I just lost it and started
yelling and screaming at them.
A very bad day in my life.

U am new to the journal jar, and can't wait to see more.
The angriest I've ever been would most definately be when I heard the story of my nephew being bullied. I can't stand bullies. I think they should all be locked in a room together and have to duke it out. I delt with the anger by verbally explaining what I thought of the bully and wishing I could ease the hurt feeling of my nephew. And as many fits of anger do, it disipitated and left me only feeling sad. Sad that I really couldn't help my nephew, I could only love him even more.

I must warn you that if you read this you may not like what I did, please don't tell me what I did was wrong,  I know that it was.  And I am not that same hurt, angry, scared woman (little girl) I was then.
