Anger management.

Same here. One thing that helped me to better control my anger was to keep telling myself that eventually things will improve, that it's not worth the long term ill-effects on my health to be angry all the time. Just think about all the things you want to do one day (travel, life goals you hope to accomplish, etc.) and focus on that. Learning not to get angry at the little things in life goes a long way to relieving a lot of stress.


All I want for the future:
Is to live in a place that isn’t overrun with roaches, where I can fucking sleep-in without the sound of chairs drug across the floor above me. For the world to be a happy and harmonious place.

Call me an optimist. But I can still dream.
 
You can try talking to a psychologist about your frustrations so you can find out what's constantly keeping you on an edge, find the cause and heal it.

On the very likely chance you don't want to do that, I can suggest cigarettes. Cigarettes are a socially acceptable excuse to leave a situation and go outside and gives you five minutes to calm the fuck down. If you don't want to inhale smoke you have to have something you know you can walk to when you get the sap of anger in your throat. Leave, de-escalate, deep breaths, if you have a good friend who is okay with you bitching, rant to them about the shit day you're having and that will make you feel better from the catharsis. If you don't have a friend on your phone's chat on standby, write your vents on a notepad, but at least somewhere so you're actually looking at the shit you're going through and can rationally think about it.

If that doesn't help you, please let me know because this is a subject I am sadly familiar with.

I love me some cigarettes. But also you have some good points.

And you have hit the nail on the head more than once. I should seek solace in friends.

Edit: will youse guys be my friends?
 
Given your mention of roaches and dragging chairs, my suggestion may not be in line with your living arrangements, but I'll offer it up as food for thought:

I grow things. I have three vegetable gardens, tropical plants (plumeria, papaya, mango, others), large pots with all kinds of peppers (make my own hot sauce), cactus, citrus trees -- all kinds of green, growing things. I used to rage, the anger would build, and I would get self-destructive. I was able to channel that into something more productive and quite satisfying. These days, when I feel anger building (over whatever), I walk out into the yard and as goofy as it might sound, the plants pull it out of me. Pulling weeds is GREAT anger therapy!

Do you have any pets? It's hard to stay angry with a cat purring in your lap or a dog nuzzling you. My 2nd line of defense.

This is going to sound stupid but learn about the things that make you angry.

Traffic used to make me go insane. I would sit in my car and seethe. One day I thought Why the fuck did I just fucking sit in fucking traffic for forty fucking minutes and there's NOTHING FUCKING IN THE ROAD WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK FUCK FUCK...

So I went on the old search engine in a horrific rage and queried over and over for different reasons traffic can happen on that type of the road. Which lead me to other types of roads. The next time I was in traffic I knew why it was probably happening and while it was annoying I wasn't angry.

The next time I got angry at something I tried it again and again it stopped me from getting angry about that thing.

Once I had adjusted my way of thinking I stopped getting angry at random events/people. Now something that would have made me angry makes me curious.
 
I find that running and skateboarding help me a lot of bullshit, dumb or otherwise, starts getting to me. With running I use it to fuel me and get me going faster and by the time I've done my distance I'm too tired to be mad. Skating is a little different in that it's more of a blissful experience for me. I focus totally on how I'm riding and trying to push myself to improve, so I don't think about what was previously bothering me.
 
Get a wife, then take your anger out on her. Mix it up too, don't just rely on your fists. You'd be surprised how effective screaming "DIE CUNT" at your loved ones can be as a stress reliever. If you can't attract a significant other for some reason then buy a pitbull. Those little fuckers can take a ton of abuse.
 
I get irrationally angry at the dumbest shit. Traffic, boring conversations, posting on a forum before I’m aware of the situation... (and making an ass of myself in the process)

What do you guys use to cope with irrational anger? I used to smoke a lot of weed, but I have a big-boy job now, and that’s not an option.

So I’d love some more methods to beat back the fucking rage that builds inside of me every goddamn minute of every goddamn day.

Thanks
Dad? Why are you on my shitposting forum?

from my experience, irrational anger usually accompanies a huge build-up of stress that seemingly has no outlet. would you say this applies to you as well?
