Rather than hurting yourself, or other people, you can stop... and find out what your anger is really about and learn ways to control it.
You might...
• Learn to be honest with yourself so you can understand yourself better and why you are angry.
• Make sure you don’t punish yourself or anyone else because of it.
• Talk about your true feelings to a trusted friend or a counselor.
• Get your anger out by hitting a punch bag or cushions.
• Regularly do a physical activity or sport that will help you let off steam.
• Get involved in something positive like music, art, a campaign or community group.
• Learn to manage your anger and how to relax more.
