Anger is one of a range of emotions that we all experience. It’s ok and perfectly normal to feel angry about things that you have experienced. 

Anger can start to become a problem when you express it through unhelpful or destructive behaviour – either towards yourself or other people. It can also contribute to you developing mental health problems, like depression and anxiety,  or make existing problems worse.

If you find yourself doing these sorts of things, it might be a sign that you need some support:

• Hitting or physically hurting other people
• Shouting at people
• Breaking things
• Losing control
• Spending time with people who get you into trouble
• Constantly ending relationships or getting in trouble at school or work
