I would have to say that 99.9% of my anger is irrational. I become angry at things that normally would not bother me when I am hungry. Eating regularly has helped. I become angry when I am frustrated. I have learned to take a break. Irrational anger can have many sources. I have learned to examine myself, to look at my faults, and to work on them. Basically, I have learned, when acting irrational, to stop, look, and listen. This puts my intellect back in charge and I can then act appropriately on my emotions.
The one thing I have found did not work for me was expressing my anger. I mean like hitting a pillow, screaming into a blanket , etc. These things just got me more riled up. I also find it of little use to dwell on the things outside myself that I have no control over. My anger just builds and I become less rational. When I sit back and reflect on what I need to accept and what I need to change, the anger dissipates and reason shines.

Well kind of. I'm 13 and for the past year and a half I've been trying to convince my mom to let me get my hair cut. When she was a kid, they ate out a whole ton and her hair was really greasy and ugly so she had to keep it short. So when she had me and my sister, she saw that we had the chance to have really nice hair. I'm glad that she wants me to have good hair, and I'm glad that she's tried, but she has also decided that it should be as long as possible and should be pretty to her, not me. I didn't have any say in how I looked up until a few weeks ago. I just pointed out to her that it was MY hair. Even that didn't work. It just took a long time. I hated it.

I am working with a person right now to help me not have anger that comes out of no where. I do not know it's cause and it is new and I am not happy with this as a personality trait no matter how new it is. I know I am hoping he will give me some tools to stop it before it becomes a life changing personality flaw.
If he gives me some tools I will share with you.
