Anger☻



 Anger is one of the most common emotions, yet it is probably the least understood. People get angry for many different reasons, some of us much more easily or more often than others. Anger may occur when people feel that their goals are being limited or their standards are being ruined. Anger can be described as a strong feeling of displeasure or hatred. Being able to control your anger and knowing how to keep it from getting you in trouble are both  very important skills. Some people have trouble controlling their anger and may do things that are hurtful or destructive. Pain, fatigue, poor sleep, emotional stress, alcohol or drug use, and mood disorders can increase angry feelings and behavior. Whether you are the type of person who lets their anger show or keeps it inside, long-term anger can hurt your health and your relationships.
