Well, while we are sharing our emotions, I'll say that over the years I too have suffered from anger issues. I was in therapy for a while, got upset, told her to go %$#$ herself and never went back. I think it's most likely related to child hood issues. I have gotten much better , I believe getting older helped alot (70). I sometimes wake up, angry to start the day and don't have a clue as to why. I try very hard to turn it around and not let it wreck my day. I did get upset the day they told me my cancer diagnosis but since then I've been okay with it. Most times now, little things make me laugh, sometimes for no reason, I just start laughing. I wish I could pass along some tidbit of wisdom on how to stop being angry, but I can't. Maybe the anger just wore me down, it does take lot out of a person. I do wish you the best and hope you find something to make the anger go away. Best to all.

Well, your anger sounds more like frustration than anger to me.
It happens to everybody. I am in Canada. In February, many of us become so frustrated with the weather that we have invented a name for our frustration: February Blues.
Whatever the name, it may depend on the idea that we have a right to something, like better weather or a healthier body.
Let us realize that we don’t have any of those hypothetical rights.
Because, in reality, we are born in a place on the planet, and there is no perfect place on it. Nowhere!.
Our genetics shape our bodies, along with the random conditions of our mother’s body, our nourishment, health history, the purity of the water we drink, the rhythm of our lives, the financial circumstances of the family, and the healthcare provided to us by the government—you name it!
Can we be angry with someone for all that?
My mother used to say to me, "When you feel frustrated, look behind you. Countless people will take your place in life immediately!"
