Is anger ruining your life and making you miserable? Do you have an anger problem? Uncontrolled anger will eventually drive away the very people you care about the most. If anger is destroying your relationships and affecting your work it's time to get a grip and get help!

Using a simple anger management quiz can help people see if they have a problem with anger management. There are some common features of people with anger problems.To find out if you, or someone you care about would benefit from an anger management class answer about these questions:

1. Do you become angry more often than most other people around you?

2. Have you been told that you have an anger problem by family, friends or work colleagues?

3. Do you feel as if your anger is explosive and increases very quickly?

4. Have you ever had an 'anger blackout'? Have you said and done things in anger that you do not remember doing? Have you been shocked by things you have later found out you said or did while very angry?

5. Have you had problems at work because of anger? Has anyone at work complained about your behavior?

6. Do you experience road rage, swearing and abusing other drivers frequently?

7. Have you ever hit anyone, adult or child when you were angry?

8. Have you broken furniture, smashed objects or damaged possessions in an anger outburst?

9. Have you been in trouble with the law because of an anger outburst such as assault?

10. Do you feel miserable and depressed most days and only feel energized if you are angry? Do you cycle from depression into anger frequently?

11. After an angry outburst do you feel depressed, guilty and worthless once the anger is out of control? Do you feel remorseful and promise yourself and others it won’t happen again?

12. Do you use abusive language, swearing, sarcasm and pointing out others faults as your anger increases?

13. Do you feel criticized and react by blaming and humiliating others when they want to talk about a problem they have with you? Do you say things in anger that you later regret?

14. Do you feel increasing anxiety in situations of rising anger and conflict, just before you have the angry outburst?

All these are signs of an anger problem. Most people who have a problem with anger know it inside, even if they will not admit it to others. They usually feel miserable and powerless to change. Often anger has isolated them from family and friends and they feel quite lonely and unwanted.

The good news is that anger problems are treatable. You CAN change and begin to enjoy life again. But the first step is to admit the real extent of the problem to yourself and then get some help to fix it.

The Internet has made it is possible to attend professional anger management classes in the privacy of your own home, working at your own pace. For many people this is a cost effective, private way to get help for their anger management problem.
