Crazy People Work From Home…

We all get angry every now and then and usually express it in some sort of way so that the headaches and stress level that eventually will make you sick are alleviated. The so-called “getting it off your chest”. Well, there are thousands of people that can’t do that effectively and suffer from what is called anger disorder.

You could be suffering from some sort of anger disorder if you get angry on a regular basis by yelling and screaming at your family and friends, or shouting matches with your co-workers. Name calling, ridiculing, blaming and more aggressive types of actions like huffing, bullying, door slamming, and finger pointing are all part of the picture.

Then we have the flip side of total anger expression at the mercy of others around you, and that is total anger suppression. This is an anger disorder in its own right. Anger builds up inside you for whatever reason, and instead of venting it; you allow it to build until there is a point of no return and the anger explodes internally. Your health is the victim here, both mental and physical. Depression is quite often the result of this disorder, or you are tired all the time from the stress of holding all that anger inside. Another point is that your immune system takes a hit every time this happens and eventually it suffers and you are on the path to some serious health problems all because of unreleased anger.

Here’s another example of an anger disorder; one where the sufferer is addicted to anger and rage and actually enjoys the feeling they get when they vent that rage, because to them, it just feels great, and they want to do it over and over again; an addiction. This is a compulsive-addictive pattern and will occur time and time again—–usually resulting from the inability to resolve grief from the past.

A term very familiar to the average man on the street these days is passive-aggressive behavior, and this is a common form of anger disorder. This behavior quite often occurs on the unconscious level, and because of that, it is referred to as “sideways anger” where the person with the disorder will keep teasing and teasing someone until they hurt that person’s feelings, or they kid a person unmercifully. This anger disorder uses humor as a weapon and always has a victim especially in cases where sarcasm is used often, or cynicism—-or making a statement to ridicule someone by delivering it in the form of a question—-”You’re not really going to wear that dress, now are you?’

Another type of anger disorder that manifests itself all too often in today’s society is that of intermittent explosive disorder; an actual diagnosed disorder where the sufferer becomes so out of control with his anger that he goes off the deep end, or over the top. The anger and rage are so out of control that they do not match the situation, and quite often can lead to dire consequences.

We all have stresses and we all develop anger over one thing or another, but knowing how to release that anger productively is key to keeping your emotions in check, your stress level down, and your health in a positive state. Those of us who suffer from an anger disorder are not so fortunate, and suffer not only from the disorder itself and the destruction and hurt it can cause, but also from the after effects of the damage to their health and well being that occurs because of the stresses of the disorder.
