How to deal with bad temper

[Irish_muscle]

I've always known that testosterone affects me directly making me more irritable, by nature I have a very explosive temper and it doesn't take long to bring me to the edge. My friends and family know this and they've learned to deal with it, problem is, I have an incredible stressful high responsability job in a very big bank and situations can escalate very easy, I am seriously concerned I won't be able to control myself one of this days. I am on antidepressants for sleeping so no more stuff and besides I have to be always 100% alert. Any advice?

Life is more important than steroids.
I wouldn't cycle if I were you.

[hawk14dl]

If cycling exacerbates your anger issues, don't cycle. Simple as that

I agree

[lovbyts]

Smoke herbs. Take VALIUM.

Get a blow job every morning before work helps also. LOL

[Irish_muscle]

Not helping so far

Not cycling is NOT an option, so is getting fired for breaking someone's nose

I can't take valium as I already take sleeping tablets, herb is not my thing either

I can tend to be angry as well. Anabolics are simply going to amplify that, just the way it is. I would suggest running test only, and definitely keep it reasonably dosed on all cycles. The more mgs and compounds the more hormone fluctuation and more anger issues.

In all honesty if you consider yourself someone with a short fuse, or serious anger issues anabolics aren't for you. Combine that with a little alcohol and you literally have a recipe for disaster. My advice also would be to steer clear of steroids. Best of luck either way to ya man.

Intestingly my worst mood is when sober, drunk I am charming and even funny. I've discovered that martial arts have helped me in the past to deal with this. I also avoid stimulants such as coffee or energy drinks and try to go to bed as exhausted as I possibly can. I was just eager to know if someone had any advice, I've been to gyms where you can cut the air with a nife, from the mood of most of the guys there, so I know I am not alone in this.

easy answers for this one! Don't let the juice control U... Ur in control of ur emotions and just have to learn to behave ur self... In like this too and it's just a mind over matter deal, u can do it...

[marcus300]

Learn to deal with it, recognise the first signs of your temper increasing and put in place tools what will make you think before reacting. Don't let anyone or anything mess with your emotions, don't let them win and channel all your aggression into your workouts. If you cant recognise the signs before you start seeing red then don't use substances what will put you in the scenario. Control them don't let them control you!!! its all in the mind so control yourself.

Something as simple as a few deep breaths and counting backward from 25 is what I've found very effective when I start to get riled-up... Give it try! Sounds silly but it works

[blakegains]

Drinking, smoking, head changing drugs are all things that I used to think relaxed me. High blood pressure plagued me from an early age, anxiety and sleep issues in addition to a short temper. I also didn't have a very good diet, I would still lift and had an OK physique, but nothing spectacular by any means.
I realized that I used these other chemicals alcohol, nicotine, herb... Every time I got stressed out. When I finally decided I was tired of using those things as a
crutch, I realized that there was a deeper issue at hand within myself. I always thought that I was " charming and even funny " when I drank too. But why couldn't I be that way normally? Well you can be, you have to figure out why you get so angry. Just blaming other things and other people is just a cover up. For example, I myself would get pissed off and have a horrible temper if my wife didn't have the house in order or if it was messy. What was is that made me so mad/ upset about a messy house? Of course most people like a clean and organized house and maybe I'm a little ocd. But when something as simple as a messy house would RUIN my whole day by making me mad as could be, it's something more serious. All of these anger issues usually boil down to selfishness, pride and ego. I would get so mad about a messy house because I associated messiness with an individual of with poor work ethic and a non contributing member of society. What if my family or friends came over and saw this mess ( pride/ego)? The condition of the house wasn't the real source of anger or frustration. It was the thought of " what will other people think if they see my house in this condition? " what will they think of ME, ME, ME....poor ME. It all came down to pride and ego, and not to mention my selfishness for not taking into consideration that my wife takes wonderful care of our 3 kids and all the other responsibilities that come along with a stay at home mom.
This is just ONE example of many things that used to give me a " short temper ". So when you mix all of that on top of high blood pressure from smoking cigarettes, herb use ( which if you don't get the right strain it can make your problems worse ) and alcohol and poor diet, not even to mention your potential fluctuation in hormone levels if you're cycling, it would make it pretty hard to manage your stress/anger levels!!!
To elaborate on what Marcus said, it's defenitly about control. When you get mad at other people or things, we let them control our emotions. Normally it's because WE are trying to control people/situations/things. When things don't go our way we " lose our temper ".In all actuality we are just throwing an adult man sized temper tantrum. My wife is a saint and used to just make fun of me and call them " mantrums ". It used to irate me but that's what they were, I would huff and puff and stomp my feet if I didn't get MY way. In the end we can only control OURSELVES! If your job employs you because you are good at making decisions and managing people, just try and learn to do it in a calm manner. Breathing excercises used to work wonders for me. Google it. Remember, there are some things we CAN control and some things/people/situations that we CAN'T control. Learning to figure out the difference between the two can be tricky, but it gets easier over time. I had to learn to let things go.
Once I cleaned up my diet, quit smoking, drinking, and herb as well as got to the root of and identified what it was that was causing me to angry. I became a much more relaxed, kind, patient, caring etc... Person. These are things that I have to work on EVERYSINGLE DAY. It takes a lot of work, but my health is worth it to do the work. I still get mad and angry, I'm not somehow magically changed. I just simply learn to stop and recognize " what is it that is really causing me to get mad right now? I address it with myself and LET GO of the real issues ( pride, ego ). Knowledge is powerful and freeing.
PM me if you want to talk anymore about it.
All the best to you man.

Emotions get easier to deal with the older we get. I think it because we come to realize that we are not the only thing that is important in this world and dealing with problems with aggression and anger do not end them anyways. Anger just leads to prolonging problems that still have to be worked out later when we piss off our friends or significant others.

[zaggahamma]

Professional help /therapy if it effects your intrapersonal dealings

Anger leads to NOWHERE GOOD

Its nice to position yourself in an environment that is pleasing obviously

[Far from massive]

While on cycle keep hydrated, keep food in stomach, get plenty of sleep, keep something with simple sugars handy just incase you feel yourself becoming irritable and you feel it may be glucose related, be careful with estro levels too much or too little estro will cause irritability.

All of the above will add to the irritability you feel on or off steroids.

Get divorced. your blood pressure and stress level with go down dramatically. Only thing that ever gets me upset is the wife.

Quick and interesting read Kel, thanks for sharing. It reinforces the idea that steroids don't "change" your personality. Basically, if you have anger issues then you'll have them on or off gear. If you don't have anger issues, then gear wont magically make them appear. The anger comes from inside, not from the gear. Lots of great advice in this thread on controlling emotions btw, it can definitely be tough.

See, it's probably just some residual effects left over from years of exposure to that toxic environment.
It may just take a while for it all to work out of your system. Less to zero contact will help. Watching her get hit by a bus may help even more. lol

Best way to get over one woman is to get on top of another one. You want to piss her off just make sure the new one is younger and better looking. Better yet go to Thailand or Philippines and send her back a picture of you on vacation something like this one. I bet it will make you feel better, I know it did me. lol

[NACH3]

Now that's what I'm talking bout

Always made me feel better, too!!

On a serious note... Sounds like your figuring yourself out... It's definitely a process(to say the least)...

GL w/everything!

Thanks all for the great feedback, it really helps, specially the Thailand Idea, lol. As I’ve said at the beginning, I’ve always had kind of a rowdy temper and my family and friends know how to deal with it, among my friends there’s always the joke: “Don’t call him before noon if you want to keep all your teeth”, over the years I’ve heard the same mantra “Change, change, change” spent large amounts of money and countless hours in therapy until I realised I’d better accept myself the way I am and try to make the best of it, some people have smelly feet, bad breath, are messy or are always late, in my case it happens that I can easily explode, yell, slam doors and the value of the smashed mobiles could easily pay my kids’ entire education up to a PhD degree. But the way I am has helped me to be who I am and where I am, I just want to control so no unnecessary explosions take place that can land me in trouble, specially at work, but as it has been previously said is just a matter of self control, making use of the experience gathered in my 45 years and also following the nutrition/Rest/ Hydratation tips and keep a close eye on my estro/test levels and adjust them accordingly.
Finally I must say that cycling is for me also a kind of therapy, gives me a routine and keeps me focused, when I see the results I am even happier, more attractive and more confident, also I live a healthier life style away from alcohol, plenty of sleep and a good nutrition.

That's sad that you rely on your family and friends to adjust and compensate for you. A real man knows his faults and sets out to rectify them. The only people that should be forgiven for throwing tantrums are two year olds. I'm hope you get it and don't take my words as offensive. But you are an adult and have no excuses, man up and earn the respect you demand from those around you.
Best of luck brother

Two weeks on the gear and actually my mood hasn't worsened much, from my memories of past cycles, I am even in a better mood, higly energetic, motivated, very pleased with the progress I see, staying away from booze and other substances also has improved my life condition greatly, is hard work and as most here know, being in a cycle is much more than injecting stuff, is a complete mindset. Very happy I did it and looking forward to the results.
