Anger as signal
why am I so angry all the time
Anger is information that a boundary has been crossed or a need is unmet. Treated as a fault it gets suppressed and re-emerges as resentment or collapse; treated as data it identifies precisely what needs addressing.
What to do about it
Ask what line was crossed. Anger is almost always pointing at a specific one.
