angry thoughts toward family and friends

I feel like I am losing control again with my angry thoughts, I feel like I am lashing out at night at my close family and some friends. I can't seem to stop doing it. And the part that scares me is it seems that they are feeling the negativity. Sometimes if I direct my anger toward someone in particular it seems like they can sense it and it bothers them. It is messing me up and I can't stand it anymore. Then I feel like I have hurt them and it even makes me more tired and weary and I get even more bad thoughts. It seemed like I was getting better and now I can't take it anymore.

Hi Dave,

I'm very anger driven too. Like you, other's can sense my emotions and get upset when I'm upset, even when I put on my "happy face". I've even started to wonder if I'm some kind of telepath, broadcasting my emotions or something! For me, my anger ebbs and flows, so to speak. Right now, I'm on an ebb, but I know it will flow again. No real advice, except you're not alone. If you're at the end of your rope and can't take it anymore, tie a knot, and swing! Just kidding...for me, excessive exercise, either amount or intensity helps, reminding myself "all things shall pass", and honestly, listening to the program again. I did the program back in 2007 and it was the best thing I ever did. Don't give up.

I am rather new here.

Is it possible that this anger is from you feeling guilty and hating yourself about something?

Guilt and shame over OCD issues brings out rage in me. It did anyway. I am starting to recognize and cope.

Don't face happy, never works. See it for what it is. Accept and roll on.

High Dave1, If your not in some type of therapy I would like to encourage to start one. The underlying factor of your anger could be a disease such as ocd, anxiety disorder, depression etc. Please see a psychiatrist as soon as you can, remember as with any disease the sooner you start treatment the better chances of recovering.
