nvme119 answered Friday July 22 2005, 7:45 pm: When you feel like when you are on the verge of getting angry just walk away from him. Give yourself time to cool down. After you have calmed down think about the problem rationally and how it can be fixed. You obviously show signs of someone with anger management issues. I don't know how old you are, but you could ask your parents if they could take you to see a specialist. Also try doing something that will redirect your attention from being angry. Something like running and excercising. Anger is more of a serious problem than people think it is. Being angry usually means that your feelings are hurt. So you should definately talk to your boyfriend about what could make your relationship with him better. Hope you get better :) [ nvme119's advice column | Ask nvme119 A Question ]

It seems to me that you definitely have some issues with anger but you have taken the first step by admitting there's a problem. There's a some great articles on anger and how to manage it at the following sites. I think you'll find them helpful.
K2204 answered Friday July 22 2005, 7:28 pm: maybe a councler? or tell your boyfriend when you feel like you are going to get mad, then have something that you can do when you know you are going to get mad, like kick a soccer ball or shoot some hoops. or scream into a pillow,ect.
hope that helps!
and truthfully, admiting it and seeking help, are the 2 biggest steps of the process! :) Congratulations!

smiLinLiar7x answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:46 pm: this probably sounds lame..but usually it works..sit down in maybe like a chair or on your bed or something and close your eyes and think of something else and just keep your tension under controll by like squeezing a stuffed animal or something like that..instead of throwing it or if you thinkg that your going to throw it when your holding it just make fists with your hands or something just as long as you don't throw anything..and if it gets to you really bad..then i would confront your boyfriend about this or talk to him about why you get frustrated..or else just talk to a counselor..whatever makes you feel better =) hope i helped..if you need anything else just drop one in my inbox! <3Frankie [ smiLinLiar7x's advice column | Ask smiLinLiar7x A Question ]
xO_thAtS_hOTt_Ox answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:45 pm: before you feel like you are going to lose control or something, take a deep breath. take a moment to realize that you may be angry at the time, but you don't want to do anything while youre angry that might hurt your relationship. i know this sounds so elementary, but "use your words". it works! good luck and i hope i helped!

advicegal26 answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:26 pm: close your eyes count to five and then say in your mind that it doent bother you over and over again .....i know its lame but it works for 54% of people!!! [ advicegal26's advice column | Ask advicegal26 A Question ]
BeautifulMadness answered Friday July 22 2005, 6:22 pm: It sounds silly, but every time you want to throw something, try and count to ten and calm down. It might not work every time so don't worry if you forget - don't get angry at yourself or you might take it out on your boyfriend. It'll soon become a habit though and will hopefully make you less physically angry!
Good luck :) and can I just say go you for admitting you have a bit of a problem here and for trying to solve it!!
Blessed Be,
