Psych Guides- Anger issues

Anger symptoms and causes:

Anger issues are not limit to teen and it is very important to understand anger symptoms and causes if you suspect you are, or anybody you know as, suffering from an anger disorder. Individuals who have trouble in controlling the anger, or who experience anger outside of normal emotional scope can present with different type of anger disorder.

Anger and resistance directly effects to health:

There are some forms of anger which directly effects on health:

 Chronic anger, which is prolonged, can impact the immune system and be the cause of different mental disorder.
 Passive anger, which does not always come across as anger and can be difficult to identify.
 Over whelmed anger, which caused by life demand that is too much for an individual to cope with.
 Self –inflicted anger, which is directed toward he self and may be caused by feeling of guilt.
 Judgmental anger, which is directed toward other and may come with feeling of resentment.
 Volatile anger, which involves some times spontaneous bouts of excessive or violent anger.

Passive Anger

People experiencing passive anger may not even realize they are angry. When we experience passive anger, our emotions may be displayed as sarcasm, apathy or meanness. We might participate in self-defeating behaviors such as skipping school or work, alienating friends and family, or performing poorly in professional or social situations. Because passive anger may be repressed, it can be hard to recognize; counseling can help we to identify the emotions behind our actions, bringing the object of our anger to light so we can deal with it.

Aggressive Anger

Individuals who experience aggressive anger are usually aware of their emotions, although the true roots of their. In some cases, they redirect violent anger outbursts to scapegoats because it is too difficult to deal with the real problems. Aggressive anger often manifests as volatile or retaliatory anger and can result in physical damages to property and other people. Learning to recognize them and manage anger symptoms is essential to dealing positively with this form of anger.

What Causes Anger?

A leading cause of anger is a person’s environment. Stress, financial issues, abuse, poor social or familial situations, and overwhelming requirements on our time and energy can all
contribute to the formation of anger. As with disorders such as alcoholism, anger issues may be more prevalent in individuals who were raised by parents with the same disorder. Genetics and our body’s ability to deal with certain chemicals and hormones also play a role in how we deal with anger; if our brain doesn’t react normally to serotonin, we might find it more difficult to manage our emotions.

Emotional Symptoms of Anger-Related Problems

We might think the emotional symptoms of anger-related problems are limited to anger, but a number of emotional states could indicate that we are failing to deal with anger in a positive and healthy fashion. Constant irritability, rage and anxiety are possible emotional symptoms.

Physical Symptoms of Anger-Related Problems

Strong emotions often bring about physical changes to the body and anger is no exception. Letting anger issues go unaddressed can put our overall health at risk. Some physical symptoms of anger-related problems include:
 Tingling
 Heart palpitations or tightening of the chest
 Increased blood pressure
 Headaches
 Pressure in the head or sinus cavities
 Fatigue

What type of angry person I am?

I am the type of person, who effects from a little bit of aggressive anger, but nobody injured because I have control on my aggressiveness, I can just hurt myself, if anybody hurt then I will apologize.

What Fear actually is?- An illusion or reality? (part-2)

F.E.A.R. is rightfully stated as False Evidence Appearing Real is a fantasy produced by our mind into tricking us to believe in a false outcome that may cause harm to you and your surroundings.

And yet we let our brain trick us into believing that this illusion is anything but that.

Fear will freeze you, frighten you. It will hold you back in the fantasy where whatever worst outcome you might imagine happen will actually come to pass. It holds us in a state where we feel that what we imagine is as real to us as anything that’s actually happened and giving up to your fears causes paranoia of different kinds.

Fear arises from the darkest parts of our imagination, the pieces that do not know how to trust, and hence, even if your mind knows that it is an illusion, this part of your imagination does not let you trust that fact.

How to overcome your fears?

Buddha said, “All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we create our world.” This simply means our thoughts create our fear. We are intelligent beings, we know how to control our behavior, hence, it might not be that tough a task to control your thoughts and direct them into overcoming our fears and paranoia. When you start to believe of yourself as the harbinger of negative outcomes, you become a victim to your fear fantasies. To sidestep your fears, you must convince yourself of the opposite of the negative thoughts that roam in your mind feeding off of your precious moments of life.

Fears are caused when you step outside of your comfort zone, so whenever you do be prepared for an attack by your fears, but step out of your comfort zone anyway, relax your mind with the fact that this feeling is just caused by the alarm of stepping into an unfamiliar zone or the terror of a bad outcome, and you will feel the fear fluidly flow out of your body.

If fear is an illusion, something must definitely be causing it. Ask yourself, what it is? Move your fear into the light. Bringing it under the microscope without hesitations and shedding light on it, trying to understand it will take you to a better place. This might be hard, as no-one wants to dissect what causes them to shake in terror and it might not help you overcome these fears, however, this will help you understand them and in future control your responses to them.

Next, make a plan of action. Once you know what the challenge is and you have brought it out in the open, then it is time to act on how to control them. Small positive steps in the right direction are all that is required to work on the fear factor. Once you have taken these steps, and you will close to some gaining a semblance of control on your fears, this will help you relax more and make you feel much lighter. To overcome your fears you need to develop goals to which you are committed in your life more than any desire and then and only then the barrier of fears put forth in your way to achieving those goals will be of no value. You need to investigate a workable plan of action that works best for you in controlling your fears.

After setting up a plan of action you must take some baby steps such as visualize yourself carrying out the things you fear the most in life. Visualize it to be as true as possible. Keep in mind that the subconscious cannot differentiate between what is real and what is imaginary, it just processes the data fed to it. This is how you begin to program the subconscious mind to overcome your fears then it is just a matter of time before you turn it to reality.

Before getting to verdict of this post, have you gone through our previous explanation of fear? Still not? Then go and check it out here.

I personally believe that overcoming fear is a not a god given skill but one that needs to be taught and honed sharply. Yes, it takes time because you are reprogramming your brain to remain calm when faced by distressful and alarming situations, Nevertheless, the joy, adrenaline and the euphoria that you feel when you realize that you have actually managed to overcome some of the biggest fears makes all of the commitment of fighting them worth the effort. It’s like Bungee Jumping or Skydiving, once you overcome the fear of the initial jump, its pure euphoria, and fun. Finding it in you to read this far and taking consideration of my suggestions you have already sent the wheel rolling. Just works on the steps mentioned above and move forward. I hope you overcome these illusions and feel the emotions that lie past your war against them.

Safe travels to you in this endeavor!
