how can i control my anger and stop taking it out on myself?

Issue
I'm sick of cutting, there's no flesh to cut anymore, only scarred tissue and no one makes an issue of it anymore. I need something else to do that lasts longer. Please don't tell me to seek help, i'm not a talkative person, the only reason i use yahoo is cos i can be heard without being told what to do.
I know it's my art to cut and a way to express myself but i know I have to kick the habit and sort it out as it looks bad now.
Does anyone have any eefective ways to deal with anger.?

Best Tip

Anger is defined as a feeling of strong displeasure. What do you feel strong displeasure toward? Everything? People? The way you are living? It is probably important to find out where the anger is pointing at. What is the object of your anger? One of the more effective ways of dealing with anger is what you have already done, which is to admit openly that you are feeling it. I would have you just look a little closer at what angers you. Because whatever that happens to be, it has great control over you. You have allowed it to control you through your anger. Then probably the next thing to consider, when you get a moment of silent reflection, is whether or not it is worth it to feel that all the time. When you get older, you may well look back and think, "Oh, my God, what was I thinking?" That is how I felt inside when I looked back on eighteen years ago when I used to drink. What a mistake that was, even though it provided visions and deep insights, it was also killing me. A bad trade-off. I simply got scared sober. It was not willpower that got me sober again. When you get darned good and ready you will probably reinvent yourself because your anger will not summon anything commanding enough to hold your attention for very long. Anger is a stance. And what you really are looking for is the trust you lost in people when you were about twelve. You are in the process of rediscovering yourself, and it is a very worthwhile and exciting journey, and in the process you will probably also reach a natural point where cutting yourself further serves no artistic purpose whatsoever. I have always felt music can help people redirect their choices to things which are more fun to live with, day in and day out.

Source(s): It is so easy to look at someone else and think you know what is going on with him. But time is often better spent looking just as deeply into oneself to find that same person who probably needs the same, if lessened, guidance you were so willing to provide the other fellow you just met. The good news is that time will help you find yourself again and - like what you find. - C.

Forget about using a knife. Use a rope instead.
You most def need to seek professional help darlin. Your cutting yourself is a cry for help. I know that some people find a release in cutting but look at yourself...if you have so many scars on your body that should be a huge clue something is very wrong. Please get help...and a therapist can guide you better, more constructive ways to release your anger.

I just answered one of your other questions. I did the same thing when I was in my teen years. I HATED when my high school teachers told me to go talk to someone. Whats the point right? All they are going to say is "I understand". They dont know do they.

What do you enjoy to do? Some people find ways to calm themselves through writing, playing guitar, listening to music and so on.

Like the other answer I gave you, find something you love, use it because it does help you deal with these issues.
Grow Bonsai trees, take up origami.
Try a martial art.
Get a punchbag
Hit cushions.
Play music really loud and jump around like a deranged flea until you exhaust yourself.
Do all of the above if you like!!
