If being angry all the time is related to the virus and having to isolate, wear a mask and observe social distancing, then this is quite normal these days.
It is wise to understand the intention of these protective and proactive activities and own them as your smart choices. You don’t have to like them to understand their value.
If in addition your anger is related to the frustrations of not being able to make travel plans or other personal or professional plans, this is indeed a common concern. Best to make tentative plans so you’ll feel prepared when things do finally open up again.
If you are chronically angry and anger has become a way of being in your life, consider the costs of such calcified anger. Ask yourself: If I wasn’t angry, what else would I be feeling? Then acknowledge and explore the meaning of those feelings and how to deal with them in helpful ways.
Volunteer your time helping other people or animals at a shelter. This will soften your hardened armor. It will be a huge first step. Remind yourself to: meet your edge and soften.
