Anger issues?

forgot to write the second part.

Is there something that could calm me long term?
Meditating or whatnot?

Bipolar bro here,
I highly recommend the book "Cool, Calm, Collected". 30% of it is self help garbage, but the rest is actually really insightful and a good read.

Basically, life is shitty. It's a series of shitty moments and shitty people being shitty to each other. You can't control shit. You can't keep someone else from saying or doing something stupid or rude. But the secret is, you CAN control how you're going to react to it.

Imagine, you're driving down the road, and some jackass pulls out in front of you. Are you going to start getting on his bumper and scream at him? Or are you going to calmly adjust your speed, check your mirrors and drive around him?

It's easier said than done, at first. But with practice and the will to change, you can take the chaotic, trigger response and turn it in to a controlled, casual response.

And people respect that. It gives you an air of power and control when you can effortlessly get rid of something that would make anyone else look foolish.

did you try to not be angry?

ok seriously, try listening to calm/relaxing music, clasical helped me
i usualy go for normal pop songs played only in piano - somehow very calming

I heard that studies show that video games shrink a part of the brain the helps us empathize with people.

Maybe play less video games and get out and do productive things such as date, volunteer, work, join a club or a church...or something.
