I am getting angry over little things. I find myself extremely annoyed and frustrated with everything that is happening around me both at work and at home. I am unable to figure out what is causing the anger so I can fix or address it. I don't know if I am the problem. I am a working mother of two kids. Please can you help?

Ans: Dear Anonymous,
Possible reasons for getting upset, angry, sad, disappointed:
1. Having unrealistic expectations from oneself and/or others
2. Juggling home and office front
3. Unable to spend much time with the children
4. Unable to connect with family/spouse
5. Lack of time to spend with your social circle
6. Lack of Me-Time
7. Health challenges/issues

#7 will require you to visit your GP and check a few vital parameters to make sure that all is well with your physical health. The others, you will need to do a reality check to assess where the triggers lie that make you feel angry over little things. You do know that it's possible to work on it and few light over these little things, don't you?

All the best!

Dear Roopashree, I have an anger management problem. When I get angry, I have no control over what I say or do and I end up hurting the people I love (not physically, but because of what I say). This is bad for me at work as well. Though I am good at my job, my temper is my downside. How do I control my anger? Dietwise, is there something I can do? Is there anything I can do that does not involve medication? AR

Ans:

You have identified the right direction, that’s half the journey.

As goes the famous saying -- ‘We are what we eat.’

More often than not, our mental reactions are just a symptom of our physical health.

In terms of diet, avoid Rajasic food (too much oil, non-veg, alcohol and spices). Practise deep breathing to process your thoughts and balance any suppressed anger and emotions.

Dealing with anger is a process. You can try this little exercise. During your next phase of anger, just bring your focus to the physical state of your body and see if there are any symptoms like acidity, sinus headache or digestive issues.

If it’s not physical, observe your thought process at the time. Concentrate on your innermost thoughts, write it down and dwell upon it later when you are at peace. Identify any possible pattern/issue and address it.
