ANGER MANAGEMENT/FRUSTRATION
The problem with this feeling of victimization is that when you have the belief that this feeling of anger does not originate in you, there is no longer a reason to change the feeling in you. Instead, this feeling of oppression always means that there is someone or something oppressing you. And so the responsibility for your emotion is projected onto someone else. Now that your anger is someone else’s fault, there is no reason to confront your feelings. The action that you will take, or at least want to take, is to change that person or thing that you believe caused you to become angry.
People who chronically suppress their anger carry certain characteristics to their personality. They tend to have at least one addictive behavior, such as gambling, drinking, drugs, etc. They tend to be moody and cope with their moodiness by trying to feel happy, and also try to be around other people who they believe are happy. They try to keep their inner struggle with anger out of their awareness, as well as away from other people’s awareness. This struggle is a constant struggle and so the need to suppress their feelings and redirect their attention is also constant and tends to be impulsive, rising and falling with the tides of their inner struggle. Individuals who chronically suppress anger tend to find others who are going through similar struggles
Level 0. You are feeling totally calm and relaxed. You may feel happy and excited about something or not. You have no anger or irritation at any level.

...rds. You also might be planning how to abandon, neglect or reject them. At this level, your thoughts are obsessed and totally focused on your pain, fear and anger whether you know it or not. You are ruled by your emotions at this level.
Level 10. At this point you have become dangerous to yourself and/or others. You are in the depths of fight-or-flight, and your primitive survival-based brain has taken over. You have tunnel vision and single-minded thought. All you can think about is how to make the pain and/or stress stop. It is a very helpless feeling. You are desperate, and willing to take desperate action. Your fear and anger are doing your thinking for you.

I can’t be positive about when my depression began to reach a climax. Maybe it was when my mom and her boyfriend would yell and scream at each other about how they were going to pay for all the hospital expenses. Or maybe it was all those nights lying in bed listening to my mom cry. Whatever the reason(s), I developed the mindset that I was causing my family all this pain, that it was my fault, I would never get into college, so it would be best if I wasn't around anymore. I felt other no emotion except sadness. I felt as if I were walking in a different dimension. I could see and hear people, but nothing anyone said made any difference to me. Nothing seemed to matter anymore. The world no longer had any color in it; it was all black and white; this is what I saw.
These phases are not linear and the patients can go back and forth between them while coping with their mood disorder (Meadus, et, all. (2007)). The four phases include feeling different, cutting off connections, facing the challenge/reconnecting, and learning from the experience. The first phase includes feeling different compared to other adolescents. The feeling comes from the experience of symptoms that led to disruption with daily life events and relationships. Entering adolescents comes with changes, participants mentioned major mood change as one of the first signs of feeling different (Meadus, et, all. (2007)). The second phase, cutting off connections is caused when the participants tried to deal with the symptoms of their illness (Meadus, et, all. (2007)). Sometimes the distancing that the participant create helps with comfort and consequently they preferred being alone. Most of the time the participants could not clearly explain why they felt the need to distance themselves (Meadus, et, all. (2007)). Phase three is when the participant faces the challenge and start to reconnect. The participant becomes aware with their disorder and chooses to talk to others about it. This will lead to getting help and obtaining an accurate diagnosis and begin treatment (Meadus, et, all. (2007)). The connection that the adolescents make with their health care providers and those who help during
Rage consumed me, it burned in my stomach and I swear I could feel my temperature rising. It felt like a living, breathing organism trying to claw its way out of me and yet I went completely numb. I just sat there the whole class period. I didn’t work on my art project nor did I think about what Connie had just told me. Pain took over as I stared at this little drawing carved into the table top. I admired the beauty of the lines that formed the woman in a dress that clung to her body. As silly as it sounds, that little carving is what kept me sane throughout the remainder of the
Every single person goes through life experiencing the same obstacles. Learning how to ride a bike or maybe losing a tooth but throughout the ups and downs, people gain an insight; an observation that can be told. Whether it’s from themselves or to the world. This vulnerability can draw people in but sometimes it can also draw them out. Emotions are one of those obstacles. Young children lack the understanding and complexity of the world around them. To simply put it, parents are lacking the proper techniques and skills needed to teach their children how to control their emotions. Children lash out not because their angry or mad but because parents failed to teach them skills to properly express their emotions. Anger and brutality in young children can be stopped but it takes understanding, knowledge, and control.
Everything suddenly becomes unfamiliar and I’m no longer comfortable in my own skin. I’m absolutely terrified and unable to collect thoughts properly. Tormenting-thoughts shoot left and right through my brain and after each hit I find my heart beating faster by the second. My chest becomes tight and it is hard to breathe. I’m paralyzed with fear; it is impossible to find the right words to say, and I have a sudden aura of loneliness. I am having a panic attack.

Expressing, suppressing and calming are the three ways of dealing with anger. The healthiest way is to express your feelings in an assertive - and not aggressive - manner. Suppressing your anger and then converting or re-directing it to other positive ways, is another way. This way of handling of anger can cause hypertension, high blood pressure or depression. You can defuse anger through diversion, distraction, humor or by talking about it, so as to calm you down. The third way is to force you to calm down inside, by controlling internal responses. You can be angry every day but learn not to show it so as to minimize the problems it may create, by any strategic manner. Culture does not allow one to show anger. If anger is not allowed to express, it stays in disguise. Anger built up over years can break even
