Stress relief ?
March 29th, 2009 | by Anthony |Kaley asked:
I’m 15. I get angry very easily and have been told to go to anger management. I get very bad chest pain to the point of tears if i get stressed and yell. I went to the doctor and nothing is wrong with my heart. I have been trying to control my anger and not yell as much so my chest dosen’t hurt. It is very hard especially with 2 younger very annoying brothers. Any suggestions on stress relief and ways to control my anger?

maybe you do need anger management; guess what alot of people need it and you’re not the only one. if you fear you might have a problem find a resolve.

Anger management classes aren’t a bad thing, and if you go to them and show you are willing to try to work on things, maybe you can use that to your advantage. What are your younger brothers doing to make you angry? Can you ask that they be told to stop annoying you so much?
If they’re very young then yes, a lot of the burden will have to be on you - you are older and will be seen as having to be the ‘responsible’ one, but surely a compromise can be made?
If your anger is having a detrimental effect on your health then anything that can reduce it is good. Can you go out a few nights a week to have some peace (even if you have to sleep over at a friends or something?) - do you have your own room? Can your brothers be kept away from there so you have some peace?
Have you tried meditation - it may sound goofy, but it can be a great stress reliever for some people.
