So… Anger Showed Up Again 😡🔥

Anger has a way of arriving uninvited and taking over everything — your chest, your jaw, your thoughts, and your patience. One moment you're fine, the next you're arguing with the microwave because it beeped too loudly.

Anger is exhausting. Loud. Physically uncomfortable. And it often comes with a heavy side of guilt or shame.

Quick note: This is not medical advice. Always talk with a qualified professional about your own situation.

What’s Actually Going On? 🧠🔥

Anger is your nervous system flipping into threat mode. The amygdala — your brain’s smoke alarm — reacts fast, loud, and without nuance.

• Feeling dismissed or disrespected
• Sensory overload
• Stacked stress
• Chronic pain, hunger, or exhaustion
• Old emotional wounds resurfacing

Why It Hurts (And Why You’re NOT Crazy)

Anger triggers a full-body stress response. Racing heart. Tight muscles. Flooded thoughts. You’re not imagining it — this is biology.

The problem isn’t feeling Anger. The problem is when Anger hijacks your reactions.

When to Call in the Pros ⚠️

• Anger feels uncontrollable or explosive
• It damages relationships or work
• You’re afraid of snapping
• You feel guilt, shame, or hopelessness afterward
• Physical symptoms like shaking or chest pain

Supportive Strategies That May Help 🏡

• Name the emotion to slow reaction
• Create physical space during spikes
• Reduce sensory overload
• Gentle movement to release tension
• Cold water, heat, or grounding tools
• Practice compassion, not self-punishment

You’re Not Broken — You’re Overloaded 🌱

Anger is information, not a failure. With support, awareness, and practice, it can stop running your life.
