Obviously this is a game forum, but like all places there are people... so everyone has an opinion...

So what I was going to ask is for some advice as to how to deal with a particular life issue. I am finding myself angry and stressed as hell, angry more than anything. Like I'll be fine, but inside i'll be angry and it doesn't take long for me to snap, I absolutely hate it, i've always had a shorter temper, enjoy throwing controllers when things don't go well in games etc. But having it constantly brewing is something that annoys me to bits, today is when I realised... got to the gym, tiniest thing went wrong, I wasn't doing the exercise properly, I got the S&its threw my phone and walked out drove off leaving my mate there alone.

I don't know what is causing it? in 2010, I had some anxiety issues, which now looking back seem absolutely stupid, I'm sure there is a post on this forum about that too!, I didn't work, I struggled to go to work when I started, I dropped out of uni, had no idea where my life was going. 2013, 3 years later, I am doing university full time in my 3rd year now, I work full time and it does get hectic no doubt... I've managed to buy a new car, and am now saving up for a house deposit and for braces. That is my life situation at the moment, I look back at 2010 and think wow, I've done something but as we all know success doesn't buy happiness..... However on the side there is a girl who I really like, however, I just can't bring myself to tell her, I believe that this is something that is left over from the anxiety... and this is what I think could be pushing this issue more, I see the person once a week and I get worried as that day comes and that worry turns into stress, anger etc.

I am sick of living this way though, as this is a game forum I will say that when I play a video game, I'll be thinking of other garbage in the background meaning that I can't even enjoy it...

How does one deal with all this?

I mean what is good to reduce the stress when uni and work pack out life? How do I find the guts to walk up to this girl? Are there any tips for reducing anger? (This can include vitamins and exercising! but please no psychologist's went to one for the anxiety, was even looking back now a waste of time)

Thanks everyone!

Whoa, slow down there buddy..

First of all, you seem to be having anger management problems. chill brah. If you feel angry just find a way to let it out, whether it be going to the gym, running, beating the crap out of a pillow w/e.. just change scenery and chill out.

As for stress, its the little victories that would make you keep on going. If you find yourself unable to have that motivation back in your head and the inspiration to keep on going then find a way you can reward yourself for doing so much work everytime you get some sh!t done. Trust me, it works.

Better days will come.

Is letting it out good though? I've been told by people not to do it because it becomes a habit or something... but what do I know... I wouldn't be asking if i did! haha.

I seem to struggle with the balance of things, like in 2010, I had so much time to relax, but I hated my life, I honestly did wish it would end back then!, now that I'm working and at uni, I'm finding it very stressful... just can't seem to break even.. I know it'll get better when I'm done with uni and doing what I like not a side job to make up money while I get the degreee.

Taking all the legit advice :P. Anyone else got any?

Might try go somewhere by myself to relax for a day or something...
