I tend to become overwhelmed and cry. No not a problem for me


Not to well.. Yes


I always angry and get very emotion


Some time but I pray about it or I go for a run or play sports


Sometimes good. Sometimes not so good & yes it has caused a problem in the past.


I am the WORST at handling my anger. I immediately go into defense when I start to feel threatened even if I'm not actually being threaten and it hurts me and everyone around me.


Terribly but I'm getting better at it.


Usually get quiet and reflective. Works well most of the time.


I don't either. And yes it has


I handle it poorly and it caused a lot of problems the past months. But it might get better. I've not been like that before and circumstances made me who I am now.


When I'm angry I just shut down I believe it's best to cool off and have a level head before saying anything that'll you'll regret later. So I say nothing at all... He gets angry but I believe it's best!


It's hard to get me angry, but when I erupt, I erupt. However, I've noticed that my irritability has also gone up recently and I can't figure out why. I wonder if I'm losing my patience. That's not good because its something my honey sees in me as a good quality.
As he'd say, I'm a match. Quick to light but quick to put out. I'm working on it though....trying to, because I know my quick anger often leads me to say things I regret 10 sec later. And by then, he's already shut down so it's hard to reach him to apologize and take it back.

Poorly. Yes.


I haven't handled anger very well. I am learning a day at a time better how to. I think all of the issues my wife and I have involve one or both of us handling situations poorly.


HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHa! Angry? Me??? I don't do well with anger. I have learned through my mentor Rod Kimble that punch dancing is a stupendous way to relieve the stress caused by anger.
