ANGER THREAD - How do YOU deal with it???

[theUF]

I know that if I work through the anger, my head will become more clear again, and I can try to adress the issue in a better way.
I know that if I let my anger take control it will makes things a lot worse. I do/say things I regret.
More so, I'm terrified of letting my anger take control, that's probably somewhat why I manage to handle it.

If I need to, I'll leave. Force myself to do something else until I'm able to adress the issue again. It's not easy though. It's been really hard. Because...well, you don't want to calm down. You want to act out.

Before I would feel like, Why should I have to be the one doing the right thing when I'm the one who feels wronged.
I would feel like a doormat for "letting it slide", you know?
Probably I had some issues with low self-esteem.

But at least for me, it helps. I calm down eventually and then I can try to adress the issue again in a better way. And maybe the respons I get will be better too.
