Sorry you’re feeling this way.
I try to channel my rage into doing exercise but when I can’t because of injury I try to do something else. I’ve found driving somewhere isolated and literally screaming into the distance helpful at times, I’m also partial to standing out in a storm and ranting.
When that’s not possible being creative and writing or listening to very loud music and singing along has given me the chance to channel the aggression.
The sweary thread on here can also be useful for a rant!

Thank you for the suggestions , I am so frozen in anxiety I don't want to drive.
It seems explosive it's scary .
People don't understand...I can't even calm down enough to focus on a craft. Writing seems like my hand would just break the pen and rip paper it's hard to explain i want to rip my own hair out...
Aaasghhhhhhh

try to remember the last time you experienced joy and rebuild it. Easier to say than to do. I am also swallowing anger all day and all night but I get glimpses of the light and it is when I am laughing or enjoying a media like video or music or working on something and totally involved in the task. And my dogs make me laugh, every day, and caring for them keeps me in the game.
All easier said than done, hang on

I’m glad to hear that there is a sweary thread on here where you can go when you need to. Because swearing and harsh language is a trigger for some of us, so it doesn’t need to be out here. Thank you for providing that for those who need it. I appreciate this site so much!
I agree about releasing the anger physically because anger produces energy. I have had anger issues all of my life, and I have tried to refocus the anger in a constructive way. I would not be where I am today and who I am today without learning to do that. I was the first in my family to graduate from college. I have accomplished much with the energy behind the anger by focusing it in the direction that I want to go. I know that’s not easy in the moment, but when you create a habit of doing it, it becomes easier. It’s an intentional repurposing of the energy created by anger. Hope you find some answers here that you can try to get to a better place. Best wishes.

empathy on the rage reactions to hurt and fear. my own recovery was unable to progress until i got far enough with my anger management techniques that i was able to do the talk therapy without an overwhelming desire to maim and mutilate my therapists. in my own case, the rage reactions were a primary defense mechanism --second only to isolating-- to protect my hurt and fearful spots. the folks here have shared some of my most effective anger management techniques, but the more sustainable solution was healing the hurts. it's much easier to punch out a convenient target than to heal those hurts.
but that is me and every case is unique.
steadying support while you find what works for you.

I have a bag of old crayons and I just press hard and color random lines over and over while crying sometimes until my hand gets tired and the colors are saturated also ripping the paper feels good too.
