Does anyone else get pissed off for no good reason

[The Korean]

The past week I have just been on edge, feeling like I am about to just explode. Most of the time, I am one of the calmest guys you will be able to find. I have my episodes every now and again, but I mainly go with the flow. But as I sit here I have this anxiousness that makes me want to just tear into somebody. Luckily my wife is out of town on business until the end of the week so I only have rare calls to screw that up. I don't know what it is, but I know by the end of it, I'll piss someone off. Am I the only one?

Yes, but the meds help.

Nope. I pretty much don't get pissed off even when I have a good reason these days. When I do get pissed off, I try to let it go ASAP. It's more gooder to be happy.

I have my moments as well, I find a nice cigar, riding my bike, or yard work are all good releases for the tension.

Sounds like you might miss your wife

Work stress always pisses me off...that's why I smoke cigars. Finding a physical outlet for pent up aggression is also helpful. A punching bag works for me...its hard to be mad when your physically exhausted. I have to deal with monkey a$$holes all day...the punching bag keeps me out of jail.

I grab a smoke and go for a walk, and don't come back until I feel right again. (Sometimes takes two or three smokes.) I did this a lot when I got back from Iraq.

Practice now before your wife gets back. And tell her what you feel and why you are doing what you are doing.

You have one huge head start- you recognize the issue and want to work on fixing it. Good suggestions here to start finding out what will work best for you to manage it.

It's nothing necessarily wrong, happens to everyone. A good buddy of mine just happens to produce more testosterone than your everyday bear, awesome fellow but it means he can get really super pissed for a seemingly innocent reason. Best thing to do is just walk away...

[stfoley]

Yeah, you just need a suitable activity to "dump" the anger towards. I play computer games for that, or go take a very aggressive bike ride (jumps, etc...basically wear myself down until I'm a quivering mass of jelly...then go home and get some sleep)

Are you trying to tell me something dear ?

Sometimes I am just on edge. A cigar usually goes a long way towards helping the problem. A workout does help use up some of the "energy" for me, but it usually doesn't improve my mood. Because I'm so sleep deprived all the time a good nap usually helps too.

You said you're usually calm. I bet you are just bummed that your wife is gone. If it was me I would smoke a cigar, watch a good movie, and take a nap.

Good luck, man. You'll get better.

Why so serious?

That's great advice

Ehhh, maybe missing the wife is part of it, but I was pissed off before she left. My work is stressful, it not as bad as brain surgery, but it does wear on you. I'm hoping I can get through the next couple days and make it to the weekend, I'll smoke a good cigar. I have kept a journal that I write in about once or so a month, last night I sat down with some rum and tried to release some anger, I suppose I feel a little bit better.
