Is there a way to meditate to increase anger, or maybe sort of convert more useless feelings like sadness and depression into anger? I feel sad a lot lately and I lose both strength and the motivation to work out because of it. I don't expect to be able to be happy any time soon, so is this an effective way to be more productive with these negative feelings? I'm seriously losing gains because of it.

Cocaine?

I'm trying to stay away from drugs nowadays and will only consider them if I really don't find an alternative.
Read meditations by Marcus aurelius.
It's old enough so you can read it for free, just google it.
The book helped me out with my inner turmoil, especially getting me to turn my emotions/faggotry into something useful.
Gather negative qi through breathing techniques and primitive tai chi. It's all about focus, concentration, intent, and application. Just sit and do some cyclical breathing, all the while meditating on your woes and inspiring the negative qi in you to turn to anger.
You should really be focusing on lifting with a clear mind, though. Negative feelings can be a distraction, which can ruin your form by inspiring you to lift too much weight for what your body can handle. By all means get the negative qi, but also keep a watch of your form and egolifting.

Care to elaborate on your shitpost?

This 2bh. Negative qi can be useful, but so can cocaine, and neither are healthy.
Take 5 scoops of preworkout, then meditate on those negative feelings. When you start to feel your face exploding, get your lazy ass to the gym and try not to give yourself an aneurysm

I don't really know how to turn sadness into anger. It just usually happens on its own for me. I'm very quick to anger, but unlike most people with the issue, I also know how to control myself, so it sort of just festers there until I get into the gym and use it to fuel my lifts.

I know what you mean. I am quick to anger as well. But lately I've had so many things go so horribly wrong I can't help but feel defeated instead. I don't have the energy to be angry. What I want to do is take all of these negative feelings, like sadness and depression and guilt, and throw it all into a fire so to speak, so maybe at least then it'll be useful, even if I'll never be happy.

Well try focusing how everything in life is terrible and how you can't catch a break. Why did God decide to shit on you in particular? What could you possibly be punished for? You're bound to find some righteous fury in that.
Start listening to a lot of soundcloud rap and blame everything that is making you feel those ways on other people. Inflate your ego, remind yourself that everybody else is terrible and trying to ruin your life, and go from there.

Yeah I'll try my best. Thanks, man.
Cheers to everybody who helped out in this thread. I'm off to bed now.
