This is something I never really considered until recently, mainly because when I feel negative emotions, I cry and feel more sad than angry. However, I get frustrated at loads of things, I am EXTREMELY impatient, and I groan, moan, and complain quite a lot, to the point where it annoys everyone.

I feel like I need to vent whenever I'm unhappy, but I don't know how to do it in a healthy way. Letting out annoyed groans or even screams doesn't seem to help, and I'm starting to wonder if I have problems with anger even though I'm not usually the standard type of angry that most people are when they're angry.

I just want to figure out what's wrong with me. I think I may have problems with my temper that I didn't know about for ages. If it's not that, what else could it be?

Honestly, this is something you should talk to a medical professional about. Not to be rude, but stuff like this is better talked about with someone trained and qualified to help. Google can be a good source, but every time I google I end up with a brain tumor or some sort of cancer. I do hope you talk to someone and it gives you clarity and whatever else you may need. :)

I know I need therapy, but it could be ages before I hear back from them and actually get it. I don't know what I can do until then. I feel like I have something undiagnosed that will stay that way until they do get back to me.

I always had anger issues ever since I was a teen. I went to a therapist and she tried working more on my anger than my postpartum illnesses that I originally went in for. I stop attending because it wasn't really my thing but it is not to say it won't help you. I would look in to a counselor because they may help you understand the temper better and give you pointers and advice on how to deal with it. I hope you find some peace.

Definitely talk to someone about this. I'm not a professional, but I wanted to add that one symptom of depression is getting angry or frustrated very easily. I have times where I'm frustrated by everything around me but I know it's because of my depression. (I think it's because anger is a secondary emotion so usually it comes from sadness or pain.) One thing that has helped me tremendously is listing things I'm grateful for, which provides a change in perspective. Just wanted to throw that out there. Good luck <3

may I ask what last happened to make you question it to the point of posting? An example would be helpful in identifying the source of your frustration and a possible outlet.

I don't exactly remember. I think it was something to do with how when I get annoyed with anything I'll often groan or make other frustrated noises. Maybe it isn't true anger, it's just frustration that I don't know how else to relieve myself of.

It sounds like you're already considering therapy or counseling and I think that's also a great idea! But if you're stuck in the interim and just trying to figure out how to manage better in the meantime:

The tricky part about anger management is we all digest and release it differently. It sounds like you default to making sounds of annoyance and this isn't doing it for you, or bothers you in particular. Is there anyone else around you that would consider it a problem or points it out as one? Or is this just your own feelings about how you're processing things either for lack of relief or just the expression itself is frustrating?

Being easily frustrated has about a million potential roots that, yeah, will probably need a professional opinion to help you pinpoint it. But since there's a million roots, there's also a million potential fixes! What normally calms you or makes you feel at ease? There's the usual standbys of physical activities to burn off your mad, meditation to calm down, mindfulness to get yourself away from the source of irritation, etc. And then there's personal, weird things that Just Work. Mine's cleaning crud out of keyboards in the house. Like I said, weird.

As is, it's good that you're realizing you're not happy as you are and want to change things! Cuz it's always possible, even if takes a lot of work. You've got this!

I don't know. I think it's partly that it bothers other people because me groaning and making frustrated noises (And screaming when I'm really stressed) is seen as socially unacceptable. But at the same time, I feel like nothing besides the screaming when I reach my limit actually helps me feel better.
