How to deal with sudden extreme anger?
For most of my life (I recently turned 28), I have been passive and easily able to ride out disappointment or anger by being optimistic and calm - my girlfriend even calls me the "water to her fire", which I LOVE! My friends and family also have similar opinions of me. In reality it is just because I don't express my anger at all. I live very much by the "if you don't have something nice to say, don't say it" policy. However recently I have noticed my feelings of anger are impossible to ignore - I have had to resort to physically isolating myself to avoid letting it blow up, and now people are starting to notice that something is wrong. My girlfriend wants to know what is up, saying she "wants her boyfriend back", but when I have tried to tell her, I apparently can't just let it out without upsetting someone. Maybe it's because they aren't used to me being upset or whatever, I don't know, but point is suddenly when I try to explain why I am upset or down, they accuse me of snapping or acting like a child. Apparently I have no idea how to express my anger, so can anyone give me any tips or techniques on how to just keep them suppressed? Please don't say "you should let it out if it bothers you", because I am doing that but all it does is upset those I care about, so please, I need some ways to either ignore it or just remove them completely. My hugest thanks in advance.

There is nothing "wrong" with you. I think you should take a step back and look at what you do with your time. Obviously you don't need to work, what about volunteering with kids or the less fortunate? The drugs are just a gateway to harder stuff to compensate for what I think is boredom. Just watch an episode of Intervention, I haven't seen any poor people on there yet. It should be more than enough to give you a glimpse of where you'll be in two years if you continue. You sound like an intelligent person and I hope you would focus your efforts towards improving your/other's lives. Just remember, people will be people. Learn now how to deal with that and it will be alot easier in the long run.

Go see a doctor. It could be organic.
It could also be that you are passive-aggressive. If you want help, seek it with a counselor of some kind.
Find an outlet that is positive, like drawing or sculpting.

a vigorous exercise routine in the morning will help tremendously with those demons, but the more u suppress, the more likely u r to end up blowing up and hurting someone. u just need to talk to someone about ur feelings. talking to someone who cares, like ur parents or gf, helps tremendously. it makes u vulnerable but that's an important part of the process. both talk to someone and exercising r quick fixes and will help tremendously.
