I find it hard to control my anger; the simplest of things I would make a huge problem. I want to change but its hard. I can’t talk to someone about it cause I’m just not good at holding conversations especially when it involves me, the only person I can talk to is a friend online(but sometimes I hold back things in writing and its not quite the same as a spoken conversation) which I would prefer.
I know God is there but its not the same; I also know I can use confession but I’m terrified about that!
I guess I’m asking does anyone have any practical solutions to help me resolve it?
 
Best advice I ever got on issues like this…“seek counseling from a professional psychologist/emotional therapist”.

There’s a book called “Dance of Anger” by Harriet Lerner. I’m not sure what religion she is, but her psychology does not conflict with the Catholic Faith, at least in this particular book.
 
Danielle90,

First, welcome to the Forums. I am sure you will find many useful subjects and comments.

Second, you have already taken the most important step - seeking ways to deal with anger.

Third, the book ahs recommended is probably excellent although I have not read it myself. I just know that that are books and articles that you can find that will give you insight and ways to handle your affairs.

Fourth, if one is available to you, just go and sit quietly in a Blessed Sacrament Chapel. Do this as often as you can for 30 minutes to an hour. God does know your heart and knows you seek a calmness. Just sitting quietly in His Presence will do wonders for you. It may not happen overnight after one visit, but, if you go regularly, you will benefit.

In all things, it is very important to not shut God out. In the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, you do not have to say anything, or do anything, or talk to anybody. Just by being in His Presence you are inviting God into your heart and thoughts. God speaks QUIETLY to our hearts. We just have to slow down and be quiet and allow Him enter. In time, the right path for you will become clear to you.

Then, when you are ready, repeat this prayer often each day: **JESUS, I TRUST IN YOU. **
