Anger Everybody gets angry sometimes.And anger can be a very important emotion, motivating us to take a moral stand or giving us courage when we need it. However, if you find yourself getting angry for reasons that don't seem to justify it, then you need to get some support before find yourself acting on it - before you cross the line into being physically violent. If that has happened already, then you do need to find some support to stop yourself from doing that again. People can lose control of their anger for many reasons - underneath it you may be feeling anxious, stressed, worried or frightened. You may gain considerable benefit from being able to explore these "underneath" feelings with somebody you can open up to. Often it's the people we love most who feel the brunt of our anger. If you live with people who depend upon you to look after them - such as children, an elderly relative, a partner - then it's really important to try to tackle this before anybody gets hurt. It can be really difficult to open up to somebody if you're used to keeping things bottled up. But it's nowhere near as painful as seeing the damage you may have caused and realising you can't ever turn the clock back. There are some self-help leaflets around to help you support yourself. This may be all you need at the moment. A good one is the one below, which can be downloaded and printed off for your own use. These leaflets are available to download or copy in their entirety. They were written by staff from Newcastle, North Tyneside & Northumberland NHS Tust The authors should be fully acknowledged in any reproduction and changes must not be made without their permission.
