Give me some tips and advice on how I can control my temper and management anger. I get frustrated fairly easy lately and become angry. I don't want to be like this and want to gain control.

I only drink on occassion and in small quantities and I do not do drugs…so let's not bring this into an equation.

I often bite my nails when I get frustrated, too.
immediate ways: take many deep breaths. vision yourself smashing things. if possible, stay away from (or ignore) the source that's upsetting you until you can manage it better. vent it out on your blog =) music works pretty well too. chew gum, get a stress ball maybe? clench your fingers real hard (i love this becuase it feels like i'm strangling something or someone with all my might—physically: it lets out the tension in me when i get pissed)

long term way: run/jog (preferrably in a park when there's not too many people)

My boyfriend gets upset for almost anything! When he really loses his temper, it is pretty bad to the point that it scares me a little. I know he would never hurt me but i just hate his anger issues. Ive told him that he needs to do something about it because if he is like this now, how do i know what it will be like once we are married. What do you recommend?

Don't get married to someone with an anger issue. Sure you may think he may never hurt you, but people tend to change for better or worse over time. Don't take a chance with that. If he shows improvement for a whole year, then you can feel comfortable.

I learned this song in kindergarden and now i am graduating and my class wants to play it at graduation. Since we've been together since kindergarden.

i can't find the lyrics anywhere, but you might want to try downloading it and trying to figure out the lyrics from there.

Not a modern flat-panel TV, but an old analog non-DTV-ready TV set
I'm not a parent, but I know of someone whose 3-year old son did that.

How one would respond to this is entirely dependent upon the age of the child.

I've been really prone to arguments lately, and some little things set me off. I'm pissing off friends and family, and i can't control myself. Even my boyfriend is getting tired of listening to me…..

Find something you can focus on when you'd get mad. Like, find a rock and rub your thumb against it or use a stress ball. Just something to focus that energy on besides the argument. Try to explain your perspective more calmly by focusing on something else at first.

Or, have something to do with your mind. Count to 10, list the countries of Africa, whatever makes you think but not too hard…

Basically think of something else and get your mind cleared out before confronting anyone. Also, think about if it's worth it to point out or argue your point to someone…

My son will throw temper tantrums in public such as in store, etc. He will throw himself on the floor and kick and cry and won't hardly let me get him up. I put him in a cart in places that have them but some don't and even if they do there are lots of times he will kick so much that I can't get him in a cart. It is so frustrating and embarrassing. Any suggestions on how to deal with this behavior?

its terrible twos we all have to go through with it. my daughter didnt go through it but she is 5 and she acts like a teenager lol

Right now i have a old set of wilson forged progressive blades and i love the way i hit them but i think its time for an upgrade. I've been looking at mizuno mp-62's but i can't decide between true temper or project x shafts. I would want shafts that feel the same as my current ones. Not sure about swingweight but i want that the same too. ANY tips would be great

I don't know my temper but I get really irritated inside my head and it bugs the hell out of me. And I always get irritated with people who love and care for me. What is my problem? I want to be nice and do things for my loved ones willingly but I feel nothing but annoyed. Now I don't show it but I feel so HEATED inside my head. What can I do to control this?

hi there,

you have to ask yourself the following questions:

1. what thoughts are in your mind when you start to feel annoyed?
2. why do you feel annoyed at your loved ones?
3. what is bothering you inside?

remember just because you FEEL irritated doesn't mean you have to ACT irritated…….your feelings can play tricks on you, when you feel irritated, stop, breathe, and ask yourself ok, WHY do i feel irritated right now? what happened today that im mad about? what happened yesterday or the day before?

Try to pinpoint what is irritating you or annoying you, say you are mad at something that happened at school or work, or you had a fight with a friend, you have to separate it from your home life……..you take a deep breath and say ok i am irritated, annoyed at this and that……but i love my family and although i feel this feelings inside doesn't mean i have to act on them………

before you say or do something hurtful, breathe and play it out in your head the consequences and how bad you will feel…….

also how irritated are you on a scale of 1-10, give it a number, ok on a scale of 1-10 im really feeling irritable and annoyed about a 9, but i dont want to feel this way, i am going to put on some happy music, go for a long brisk walk, watch a funny movie, watch funny vid's on youtube………after you do some that, now what is the number ?

realizing you have temper problems is the first step, at least you admit it!!! you have the courage to want to change and that's a great thing!!

good luck !!!!

My friend is a cancer and I told him I might be able to help him cook dinner yesterday. Unfortunately I got called into work. I told him I couldn't come because I was called into work. You would have thought him being a mature adult he would understand, but he just hung up on me.

only if i'm forced to do something i feel uncomfortable with or if i feel that a friend is rejecting me. my brother is also a Cancer, and he DEFINATELY would throw a mini- temper tantrum over something like that! when he was with his girlfriend he'd pace up and down obviously p*ssed off like mad if she couldn't see him for any reason. i think it's more Cancer GUYS that have the tantrums.

and what do i do when he explodes..?!

You do not "handle" someone who can't control his temper. They must "handle" or rather "control" themselves. If they do not control themselves, then you should get yourself as far away from them as you can get so that when they do "explode", you will not be the one to get burned.

What do you do when he explodes? If he engages in any illegal behavior such as laying a single finger on you in a aggressive manner, throwing objects at you, making verbal threats to physically harm you, you call the police, have him arrested, and get a restraining order to prevent him from coming within x number of feet from you in future. If he tries to come around again, you call the police to have him arrested for violating that restraining order. If he is not yet at the point where he is breaking the law, then you look him straight in the eye and tell him that you deserve to be treated with respect and you will not tolerate this behavior ONE MORE SECOND. Then you either walk out the door yourself, or hold it open and invite him to leave. Tell him firmly that he knows where to find you when he has gotten himself under control and can behave in a civilized fashion.

The term for someone who tolerates physical or emotional abuse is "co-dependent". By accepting and not confronting this behavior, you send a message to the abuser that this behavior is acceptable. Abusive behavior tends to get worse over time. A bruise may become a broken arm or a choking incident. Insults may give way to threats to kill you. Both you and the abuser will be better off if the cycle is interrupted before he does something that can get him thrown in prison.
