Do you feel tapped out, like you just can’t take one more thing?
Responsibilities, relationships, work pressures, past traumas — everything can build up. Become too much. You can feel the emotions, stress, and irritation building, but you can’t find a way out.
You may end up feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and out of control, leading to an explosion or outburst of uncontrollable anger.
When we reach our limits, it can be hard to maintain our composure.
Yet, anger isn’t bad — it’s losing control that can lead to problems.
Anger is a natural and valuable emotion. It can tell you something is wrong, indicate an injustice, or signal an issue in a relationship or situation.
But anger is also a powerful emotion that can get out of control.
Unchecked anger can lead to problems such as:
- Losing control of your emotions and actions, causing you to act or say things you later regret
- Covering up other feelings like sadness, guilt, anxiety, fear, or shame
- Avoiding dealing with problems, grief, or talking about your emotions
- Strained relationships
- Increased legal consequences
- Social isolation
- Lower self-esteem and mental health problems
- Frequent outbursts and verbal or physical aggression
Additionally, carrying around anger for long periods can impact you physically, often feeling like a heaviness or weight in your body. Anger can also make it difficult to process or think through information logically. You may be more prone to jump to conclusions or dismiss information.
