Hello, I am a 18yr old sikh girl.........

I really don't know how to begin or where to begin. I am so frustrated, and so angry. I just need to get some advice on how to control my temper. Over the last few weeks or so, i have become aggresively angry, and i'm finding it very hard to keep myself in control. I just won't stop shouting, and i just cry everytime i get angry. I don't know why i'm feeling like this, i have exams proceeding in June, and i'm keeping myself prepared by revising now. I know that if my behaviour carries on like this, my revision will not go down as well. I need some advice on how to 'calm' down, when i'm feeling angry. I personally feel angry towards my family, for no apparent reason, but i get along fine with my friends. Why am i feeling this way? Is there a purpose to why this maybe happening?

I would also like to get more 'involved' with Sikhism. I am a Sikh, but i feel i have not involved myself in this religion as i would like. I just don't know where to begin, i'm hoping maybe someone can help me find my way.

Thank you for your time.

Sat Nam. It is helpful that you stated that you stated your age and sex. That gives me a little information about you. Your anger could be stress related. Are you as angry when you are not under pressure? Your anger could have to do with your relationship with your parents. If they are over controlling, degrading to you, don't listen to your needs.....there could be a million reasons. Only you can analyze your situation to know what is going on. Try to control your anger by analyzing the situation. Understanding can help to diffuse the anger. Exercise can help...eating healthy foods can help. Reading from the Guru or your banis can help. Focus on your exams...then when that pressure is over...look at your life. Maybe your anger is really an anger to yourself that you are not going in the direction in your life that is your destiny. Look at your life. What do you want? As far as getting more into Sikhism...find someone whom you admire in that area that can help you. Blessings. GTKK
