Lately I've had a hard time controlling my anger. People keep trying to get me mad and hurting me [emotionally and slightly physically]. And it isn't only angering me but increasing my depression. I am worried I might hurt someone if it keeps up. Does anyone know of good ways to help control anger? I'd also like to ask of ways to control sexual temptation, for obvious reasons. Can someone help me out?

When I get angry, I don't feed my rage with thoughts. Focus on something else. Breathe, examine an apple, write a poem, sing a song. Try to be mindful of how you feel, and then let it pass. Know that anger will not solve your problem. I know it is tough; I have anger problems and depression too. But you can do it if you try your very best.

It would be easier to give advice if I knew some details, but I understand in certain situations it can be hard to offer them.

If it is your family doing this and it's not enough to call abuse, or if you are unwilling to report them to the police, you'll have to put up with it until you are old enough to leave. During this time, meditate on other things. If it is somebody outside your family, you do not have to be around them. Do what you can to keep away from them and, if you are willing, report them to your local authorities.

Remind yourself daily that you are of a value that nobody can assess and that nothing they say or do will change that. The thoughts and actions of others do not amount to who or what you are, your life is your own to lead. Just let go of what they are doing and remember that, although things may be hard now, it will get better and someday you won't have to put up with any of that.

Try to rise above it. Find what puts you in a good state of mind, be it music, or exercise, or poetry; whatever. Use that whenever you feel your anger is getting out of hand.

Thanks for the advice, I'll try that next time, Taerinn

My, thank you! The second paragraph really spoke to me; I understand completely. Thanks for the help!
