Lisa,

Anger is but one emotion and as you probably know, a responce to some upsetting event. We are wired that way, however after many decades of poor anger management, I have discovered that, actual reasons for anger, most events are explainable and are not worth the effort. I now do two things, to quote a wise philosopher, " the unexaminded life is not worth living", I refer to this because I simply ask myself, why am I so angry? What made me react so violently? Usually I find it is a personal point of view. The other thing I do is simply not let other people drag me into their angry environment. If you've got a hot button, find out why.

It just drives me nuts sometimes that I can't blame someone on my anxiety after analyzing the situation and putting myself in that person's shoes. o:)
