Are there any ways to control emotions or let them out without being aggressive to everyone around me? My sister says I have anger issues.

Irritation and anger plague my every waking moment. I know all the reasons. I’ve lived alone for years, and now I have to look after my elderly grandfather. I know I’m doing the right thing, and I’m the only one who can do it. My sister is a single mother with two small kids. I honestly thought I’d be much better at it. I used to work from home, now I deliberately go out to coffee shops and malls to have a few hours alone with myself. But I’m always surrounded by people, and I hate it. Little noises trigger me and I lash out at strangers. I’m tired of saying “sorry”. It’s like some part of me has woken up inside, and it’s always waiting for bad things to happen. Last week I came back for dinner to feed grandfather and give him pills and my sister arrived. We’ve had an agreement that she’d come in the evenings, and I’d be able to leave for a while. Turns out it’s inconvenient for her, because obviously she has more time when her kids are at school. It pissed me off so much!! I was ready to smash the cake she brought against the window. I suppressed my feelings of rage as best I could and left the room. But she still came in to tell me not to slam the door in her face. Am I disgusting, or are my family members ungrateful ********?

Sometimes the dumbest things set me off, like unexpected calls from the office. I’ve asked them to schedule our meetings beforehand, since I can’t jump into a video call at a minute’s notice, I may be walking to the cafeteria or be busy with my grandfather when someone decides they need to discuss something stupid right this moment. Logically, I know it’s not my place to raise my voice at my colleagues. But I just can’t control myself. They’re so frustrating! All I want is to be left alone. I want to scream and break things, and not to regret it. I don’t want this responsibility in my life. It’s too stressful and it makes me a bad person. I hate to be angry. How can I stop it?

We have a child, a boy of 5 years old. We aren’t married, but we’ve been in a relationship on and off for 7 years. My partner has anger issues, and he used to smoke weed, but he gave up on the latter when our child was born. It was my primary demand for us to live together. I really wanted us to work out for the sake of our son. He is very attached to his dad. He doesn’t understand lots of things going on between us, and I try not to drag him into it. When I cry because of my partner, I’ll tell my son that I’m just tired or that I’m sick. But part of me is longing to tell him the truth. When we have a fight, it’s a rule to go outside the house so that Kevin (my son) doesn’t hear swear words. The worst of it all is that my partner was having these fits of anger less frequently when he was on weed. He keeps blaming me for the aggravation of his symptoms. When he’s on edge, which happens at least once a week, he rages around the house, he can hit things or walls. I don’t even ask anymore if it’s about his work or something else, the result is always that he spits his venom out on me, and I’d prefer not to be his verbal punch bag. He has never hit me, but he has grabbed me out of the house by the wrist a couple of times, and I had bruises afterwards. This almost made me leave him last time, but he apologized and begged me to stay, with all the usual words of affection. My son knows his father is loud, so I hope he doesn’t realize how often we yell at each other while smiling through the teeth. I don’t know if I want to be in this relationship, Kevin is the main reason why I’m still where I am.

Last night I packed my things and was almost outside the house (I told Kevin we were going to see grandmother, my mother, which is true). And he suddenly asked if his father will go with us and looked so upset when I said he wouldn’t. I hid my tears and unpacked. Tomorrow my partner comes home from a shift. I’m at a loss what to do...

I am 29 (F) and a working woman and my boyfriend is 31 and a job holder.We got to know each other during the pandemic through facebook.It’s been 3 years already and our relationship is like almost 2 and half years.Everything was fine and normal till this February but things started to change which i can't accept anymore.As a Bangladeshi woman I am having pressure from my family to get married as I am 29 now.I tried to talk about it with him and every single time he avoids this.It makes me upset and anxious. And things between us are getting abnormal from this June!!!! He told me i have disgusting personality(I have anger issues). It made me very very sad and i was upset.From that day i didn’t talk to him for 12 days and he didn’t call me, text me either. After 12 days I knocked him first to know why he did this to me and he didn’t reply.So I became furious and said too much absurd thing like he never loved me, he just passed his time with me, he may have another relationship and so on because I have my reason to say those.He never ever said I LOVE YOU if i say or text he just responds that! And another thing he never wants to tell about our relationship to others not even to his friends.So I think He doesn’t want me and it’s making me crazy.I don't know what to do or how to seek help. I just can't stand this situation.

I've always been determined to succeed, starting from a young age. I excelled in school, consistently earning top grades until my undergraduate studies. Along the way, I pursued singing, participated in quizzes, and now I hit the gym daily, competing in weightlifting and powerlifting events. I also enjoy writing short stories — it's a passion of mine. While I may not be the most outgoing person, I take pride in my physical strength as a woman. Independence is a quality that defines me.

However, my mental health took a turn for the worse in 10th grade. The pressure from school and my parents became overwhelming, and I began to feel like a failure. At 16, I started struggling with severe and persistent depression, which has persisted into my 20s. I'm currently undergoing psychiatric treatment to manage my condition. I had attempted suicide twice, once by injecting sanitizer and recently overdosing on migraine meds. However, I sought help, and now I'm taking 3 meds per day. I don't want to die, although it may seem otherwise. I want a good life, but when I see I'm failing to make that life, I become suicidal. I need to stay alive until I succeed. My psychiatrist is helping me, but I still feel like I'm stuck. I also had anger issues when I didn't take meds. Now I don't have them, but as I've had them since my childhood, my mind feels empty, like something is missing. I'm pursuing a double degree in Chemistry and Education, and my life is so chaotic. I wake up at 5, go to the gym at 6 am, come back at 7:30, go to classes at 8:40 am, live in a dorm at my university, and have classes till 5:30 pm. It's too hectic. I'm currently on vacation, and my psychiatrist told me to slow down, but I'm struggling to do so. I fear for the future because I need a stable and high-income job too.

What do you think? Has anyone experienced anything similar to what I'm going through? If yes, please share your experience. If not, please offer me some advice.
