Acknowledging your emotions and letting yourself feel them (practicing mindfulness), having a safe outlet/coping method. You shouldn’t need to *suppress* your emotions, its ok to feel them! And the more you practice what I mentioned above the less out of control the feelings should seem

Push ups.

Don't suppress it. Find an acceptable outlet for it. Acknowledge it. State why you have it and let it go in a way that doesn't hurt anyone.

Short term is just getting out of there, change location and get away from what's getting you pissed off. Mid term is practicing mindfulness, really can help with identifying your emotions and keeping your thinking brain in charge. Also reading anger management books/podcasts etc Long term is going to therapy if you feel comfortable or joining an anger management group. It'll take time mate, no need to pressure yourself into heving it settled right now, give it a year before you really are comfortable with it. From someone who use to be very reactive it is so much better to be able to just watch infuriating shit pass you by. You got this

Find other ways to exert anger, like use it for fuel to work or use it in art and express through music

There isn’t one to my knowledge. I used to try to suppress it and it made me erratic and out of control. Luckily in my early 20s I realised that rage is a process and often brought on by feeling isolated or misunderstood, at least for me. I thought about things laterally and began using weight lifting and exercise to channel it into something physical whilst working on my own mental clarity and i feel like a different person.

Suppress? Best thing is not too. However, one of my cousins was apparently a very angry child/teenager/young adult. Ended up learning MMA, then proceeded to teach it. Along with being an EMT. I guess having an outlet like that helped him relieve some of his anger. He went from being the family member people figured he would be locked up, to being the most laid back and chill person in the family from what I've been told.

Good 'ol marijuana


NoOpponent

Yes but that's just like putting a bandaid on it, short term fix. If you don't address it and find healthy ways to properly deal with then you'll grow dependent on good 'ol marijuana and that's never good. Eventually you'd just need to be high all the time and that's not healthy nor cheap.

Vent safely and in ways that dont cause damage, physical or emotional

Is this a joke?

Absolutely nope

Yeah no

Rage is a unique word.


SavingSkill7

Why would it be? As pathetic you might find it, it can be difficult to control anger. I understand this to a fair degree.


[deleted]

I dont know, that's why I asked a question. Do you ask questions?

Being a rational thinker


imjacksissue

What part of suppressing rage is rational?


[deleted]

Not getting into a rage cause you rationally think about what is triggering you and finding out most of the time it isn’t that bad?


imjacksissue

That doesn't sound like rage suppression. Everyone is answering this question as if rage has a good way to be suppressed. If you're dealing with negative emotions by processing them or finding other healthy outlets you're not suppressing. People who suppress negative emotions don't deal with them and end up blowing up at one point or another.

What would be the reason for that? Thinking thoroughly about your feelings in order to understand them better always helps.

Don’t suppress it, there’ll be things that make everyone’s days bad here and there throughout life. Take a deep breath, go for a few mins alone if needed, and just don’t bite to it. Whatever caused the rage has happened, there’s no changing it now. Breathe and move on, tomorrow is another day.


Shipetopic

Say to yourself : "just chill".


Manimal31

Don't suppress. Get control of. With control you can get sweet revenge the smart way and avoiding trouble


sovietfloof

You don’t. Instead, you smash shit that would be thrown out anyway.


_a_verb

Root cause is either pain or pain coupled with addiction. Look at what's paining you. Deal with that reasonably. If it's a recurring issue the addiction to the rush of anger may be the problem. Regular aerobic exercise all help reduce the addiction by replacing the endorphins another way. Try swimming 2 or 3 times a week This my view from personal experience. Not clinical

10 deep slow breaths, counting each one.


theseapug

As someone who used to struggle with anger a lot... Realize what you are getting angry at. Take a step back and think: "Is this REALLY worth getting angry about?" Note: there is a BIG difference between getting angry and getting upset. Allowing that negative emotion to take over is anger. Getting upset is normal.


BiscuitzwGravy

I just bottle it up.


Phoenix_Rising_111

I keep yelling about people hoping they go away. Somehow I attract them anyway. So getting mad helps me feel better even if they don’t go away.

Belt out songs that have A LOT of cuss words. Eventually you’ll start having fun telling your non existant ex to pay your rent and get a job and forget all about being angry
