A female United States age 26-29, *sian! writes:

Well, over the last month I have been through a lot. And after my dad telling my he doesn't want me in his life, me deciding my life would be better if I just forgot about him, and my dad not telling me that my great grandma died and having to find out on myspace I am very angry at everything. I'm taking my anger out on people that don't deserve it. I am pissed at my best friend and haven't talked to him in two weeks. Even people I don't really talk to have noticed. What I need to know is how can I get over this anger or at least hide it and stop taking it out on everyone.

Lola1 agony auntYour anger needs to be directed at your father. He is the source of the anger and until its dealt with you will either remain angry or you will turn that anger inward (that leads to depression).

Having said this, I do not mean go egg his house or arrange for people to beat him up for you. You can vent that anger in a scathing letter, and never send it. Channel it to the best of your ability in the direction from which it came, and you should be alright.

If your mother is around, I agree, she'd be a good person to talk to.

And contact your best friend. Apologize and explain what you're going through. Your friends will help to heal you, so you need all of them.

Good luck!

You can't hide the anger, because it won't go away. You have to face it. Of course you're angry and hurt. Why wouldn't you be? Have you spoken to your mum? If not, start with her. After that, try speaking to a counsellor. That way you'll be able to go throough all your emotions with someone who can help you understand them. Also, maybe tell your friends what has happened, so they understand that you're hurt. All the best.
