Religious fundamentalists live in a constant state of fear and anger. Every day brings seemingly new outrages to get worked up about. Self perceived "threats" are everywhere. Never ending streams of new groups arise to be afraid of.

They'd be better off not following such a crazy religion and just let others live their lives. They might live longer..

The present paper makes a research about negative effects of anger and hostile conduct on peoples' health status. We have studied scientific articles published between 2000 and 2010, that did not contradict our initial assumption. The literature demonstrates that anger, whether suppressed or expressed, can determine various diseases, it can influence the conduct of people suffering from bulimia nervosa or it can be the cause of the growing number of car accidents.

In order to avoid these risks, the intervention should not be limited to medication, but it should also involve a psychological help that should insist on ways of dealing with anger without exposing the person to any kind of risk for his health or wellbeing.

Think about the last time you felt really angry: that boiling sensation rising in your gut, heart pounding, muscles tightening, and (maybe) feeling an impulse to break whatever’s in your path. Turns out your body really is having a moment: All emotions—the good, the bad, and everything in between—can cause a cascade of physical responses, impacting everything from your muscular and cardiovascular systems to your hormones and nerves.

What if psychologists make you angry?

I recommend Dr. Buddy Rydell. And remember, sarcasm is anger's ugly cousin. Now let's sing. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WeDHZWS5uMo

I was a Mormon for my entire life. My parents were very strict about it. They both grew up in small town in Utah. For instance on Conference Sunday, we had to wear our church clothes and sit on the couch together to watch it on TV. We were expected and did go to church every Sunday.

I feel my mother was depressed after going to church, never being good enough. I believe even though I have left the church I still feel th guilt of never being good enough.

In 2008 I had a brain tumor and lost my ability to work. Since my children were grown, all my self esteem came from doing a good job. I didn’t dread Mondays because I liked my job. My boss was so good to me he gave me $5000 severance and told me to get on disability. I couldn’t deal with not working and got a couple of temp jobs. Unfortunately we used the $5000 while I was working and not making nearly the amount of money I was used to.

My mom was quite critical of me. My dad thought I was terrible for working while I was a mother. My parents both passed away in 2009. I pray or talk to them in my head. In case there is a heaven and they can hear me.

I have a wonderful husband that also gets frustrated with me. He says I’m a completely different person than I used to be and has had to figure out how to love the. New me.

I am extremely critical of myself. I was sure that not working I would finally have a clean house and it’s worse than ever.

I really need to figure out how to get rid of the guilt.

What about those who live in fear of White Christian Nationalists taking over the country?

We can be our own worst enemy.

Anger does cause our physical bodies to turn on themselves. IMO, unresolved anger can cause all kinds of troubles like cancer, liver problems, etc.

When our daughter got divorced from her abusive ex, I was burning with anger when we found out all the things he had done to her over the 12 years that they were married, and that we had no idea were going on. The very least that I wanted to do to him was get him imprisoned. At night, I couldn't sleep because of the anger that I had.

Her hair was falling out by the handfuls, she had gallbladder problems, and a number of other things.

He was constantly gas lighting her and putting her down.

When Covid was first spreading in the spring of 2020, she was among some of IHC's people who went to NY to help with her skills gained from working in the ER.

Her dipshit ex told her that she was no hero, and how stupid she is because she doesn't know anything about the business world. Well, time heals all wounds and wounds all heels. His "business" went belly up.

I finally learned about forgiveness last Autumn, but it took all my life to forgive past grievances because I looked at it as weakness, when actually, it is strength.

We need to be easy on ourselves, but it sure can be difficult sometimes.
