My Anger is overwhelming

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!"

@edl189901 Anger is a super complex mental and psychological issue, with many possible causes and various physiological responses. Frustration is only one emotion that can accompany or trigger anger. Not everyone experiences anger in the same way or for the same reasons and therapy is s helpful to get to the root cause and learn to manage it.

It is indeed interesting to consider what anger is, what are some of the triggers for anger and some of the tools to manage it.
