Built-up anger can be a sign that stress or burnout has been affecting you for too long. This page explains why it happens, how to manage it safely, and when to seek help.
It sounds as if the anger has been building for a while, and I’m concerned about what you meant after “it’s starting to…” Can you finish that sentence?
For this moment, do one thing — step away from anyone you could snap at, put both feet on the floor, and take five slow breaths. If your body feels buzzy, walk somewhere safe or splash cold water on your face; don’t argue, drive, or make a big decision while you’re this heated.
Are you thinking you might hurt yourself, hurt someone else, or damage something? If yes, move away from people and anything you could use to hurt yourself or others, and get a trusted person to stay with you right now. If there is immediate danger, contact local emergency services.
Tell me what the anger has started doing — your sleep, temper, body, work, relationships, or something else — and what set it off today.
