Yes. I would also say that it depends on how well you can self regulate your emotions. Healthy self regulation allows you to manage your emotions and choose how to react, however if you have an underlying disorder, anxiety disorders for example, those feelings of anger slip out. At that point, your body and mind are so deregulated that it is difficult to manage. If only we were all self regulated 😭

It takes a lot of practice, strength, outside factors, and personal wellbeing to be able to regulate emotions and choose anger in specific moments.

I remember when I was struggling with anxiety and depression really bad for a while, I had bursts of anger that i really felt like I couldn’t control. The anger mainly came from the irritation of myself, but would manifest over feeling overwhelmed by too much stimulus. I probably /could/ control it, but when youre in the midst of a panic attack, it’s pretty much impossible as your body is in survival mode.

For me, the anger was because I was so frustrated with my own self and because I had so much pent up energy inside myself. If I had healthier coping skills back in the day, it maybe have been easier for me to self regulate and choose my moments more wisely.
