I feel angry and irritated all the time, help?
Lately, a lot has been going on in my life. And i'm not being dramatic when I say that. I have more problems right now than I can handle. My dog of 14 yrs recently died, right after we found out my dad had stage 4 cancer, 2 weeks before christmas my uncle died of a heart attack, my best friend of 11 yrs made new friends and doesn't want to hangout with me anymore, and i'm struggling to graduate. I've just felt so angry at EVERYTHING. I don't want to show my feelings in front of my family...I just need some advice on calming myself. Please help.

Hi. sorry for your upset. I understand because there was a time i took care of my mother for over a year. She was dying of cancer. Five days before she died, i had to have one of her two dogs put to sleep. It wasn't long after she died I had to have my cat put to sleep, and then Mom's other dog. After that, my sister stole so much from me i can't even begin to explain it. Then i was in an almost fatal car accident and spent six years recovering.
Well.... what i did was realized that i would recover (and i did). And that it wasn't the end of my world. Sure it was really difficult, but i made the best of bad situations. I started practicing self-compassion and gratitude (both of which you can find a lot of great information about online).
Bad things do happen in our lives, but then, there are a lot of things to be thankful for too.
However.... you really seem to need an outlet. It's ok to be upset and show your feelings. Holding everything inside isn't always healthy. Are you close with someone in your family or have a good friend you can talk with? Most people who care about us, DO care about our feelings and what we are going through.
Let it out.... be good to yourself. This is part of self-compassion. Care about yourself enough to seek out someone to talk with. A therapist is another option.
I wish you all the best. You're going to make it through all of this! I know you will. x

You need a regular exercise program. Exercise generates the endorphins that create a feeling of well being, which we can agree you could use. It's also critically important that you get proper nutrition and sufficient sleep, which will help you handle stress.
Turn off your devices, get out of the house and spend time gardening or walking in a local park. Being outdoors in nature is very stress relieving.

I'm sorry that you have to go through so many terrible situations, but you are a strong person and that's how you managed to go through it, as for anger it is the frustration that is caused by the situations, so I advice you to meditate, mediate for 20-30 mins and you mind will become more very relaxed and calm.
