What is Anger?

I think about this a lot because I'm angry internally more then I should be. I just keep it to myself. McElroy blogged that "Anger is a thought process. One way to conceptualize anger is to see it as a distancing mechanism. Anger keeps at a distance perceived threats. No one wants to be around an angry person." The clue for me is what do I see as my "perceived threats" and is my thought process in reality or is my misbeliefs eschewing what I believe to be the threat. I have the hardest time anylizing what I think is right when it's really wrong. I know anger makes me feel sad about life, about myself, about how I interact with others. I know the bible says to "put of anger" but it's hard to get that emotion out. I haven't had a healthy mechanism to release when I do feel such angry. I'm angry now but I don't know at what or at who. DAY SIX
