Hi Margaret! I’ve always been a calm and easygoing person UNTIL I became a mother… I was sleep-deprived and anxious. I would have rages and outbursts towards my children, my husband then myself. There was a time I doubted the Holy Spirit was in me bec I felt so out of control, harsh and impatient.. no fruit at all in my opinion. I was frustrated bec I thought, being a believer, I shouldn’t be struggling with this but I thoroughly was,, still am. 😞 It is honestly a daily battle and I am done! I’m tired of being that angry mom and wife.. it’s so exhausting! I truly want to change, to find joy and peace but I realized that it is a journey. I want to give grace to myself bec there are moments that I still turn to my yelling default mode esp whenever I’m sleep deprived or PMS-ing.. I’m battling against the enemy who wants me to aim for perfection . There are days I feel so discouraged.😔 I want focus on Jesus and His work in me and through me but it’s so hard. 🥺🙏🏻 I appreciate you sharing this sister.

Look for vlad savchuk videos and daniel adams, pray this helps. We all have battles and just battling let's you know Holy Spirit is in you because you know you need change. Love you dear sister in Christ , remember He is with you till the end, keep warring, keep seeking that freedom.

I m with you. thank you for sharing your story. You are enough. 🥰

I never struggled with anger until the last five years or so. It has been mainly tied to my crumbling marriage and all the anxiety that goes along with that. I’ve found great peace in focusing on the Lord’s sovereignty, but I appreciate your practical tips here too.

The Lord is def bringing this video to me. I love how gently He nudges us to things that need healing/correction.

oh girl, me too right now!

I just found this page and im hooked im literally crying because this couldnt be more relatable

I looved how you said "I wasn't an angry *person*, i was a person that HAD anger." That's *such* a needful reminder! I'm also really sorry about your loss :( I tend to be a very angry griever, so I found it interesting that you said you started to feel the anger creep back up and had to refocus/recenter. Its oddly reassuring to know I'm less alone than I think.

Absolutely. Reading through all these comments has been so comforting. We’re not alone at all. Sending love, Katie!

I've never clicked so hard to watch a video. I have such a blessed, happy, privileged life, but I struggle with anger/stress/anxiety/short fuse and I hate it so much. I've recently been implementing pro-metabolic eating and I definitely feel a little more balanced. You've been a big inspiration/support in this area, so thank you for your content and dedication to your channel :)

im dealing and healing with anger HARD right now. It was pretty suppressed resentful anger, and now it's just full blown. It completely sucks to be in this state, but God says this is happening FOR me, not TO me. And he says he's revealing these deep strongholds and ugliness in me BECAUSE of his perfect love for me. It's so unpretty to be a pretty lady but be filled with rage, anger, and wrath. Moreover it's so destructive... and exactly what the enemy feeds on to steal kill and destroy. So please pray for me!!! And that you Margaret for your story!

This was like looking at myself in a mirror. I haven't been able to figure out why I get so angry sometimes where there is absolutely no reason to. I am definitely going to show this to my husband so he knows and we can figure out our plan of action going forward. Thank you so much for your sharing and your honesty regarding this. I hope you continue as well on your journey with this!

I thought the same- like looking for mirror.finger crossed.

I went off gluten and dairy in 2013. I noticed that after awhile I was very rarely having angry outbursts. It truly was a miracle. I would have never guessed that dairy and gluten were the culprits. God is good…

Felt this. Like really fucking hard. When you mentioned “purpose” I about burst into tears. I’ve experienced major loss these last two years and I often wonder what the point of life is. I’m so negative and I hate it. I appreciate you sharing. It’s given me something to think about because something’s gotta give.

I have anger issues too. And I'm so so grateful to you for giving glory to Him. I'm praying to him day and night to help me and heal me and watching your video has given me hope that He can restore me. Sending love

For me what helped the most was mindfulness. It allowed me to still feel the emotion and listen to it, but I didn’t have to act on it. Anger comes out as an uncontrolled explosion when it is being repressed

Thank you so much for sharing. Being a woman, especially a mother, with anger struggles feels so shameful and turns it into a dark cycle. This was helpful and beautiful ❤

This was so so healing 😭😭I was exactly the same!! Thoughts I’ve never thought I would think, anger and just disgusting. Thanks for sharing this! I prayed and prayed to God for a change and deliverance ❤️he’s been so gracious and kind 🙌🏻 praise him

I don’t know if anyone else has told you this but you do deserve credit! If YOU didn’t reach out to the lord you could not start this process. You listened to the lords loving guidance and put in hard work to make those changes. You deserve credit.

Thank you for sharing your story! I've struggled with anger for many years (since about age 9 and I'm now 34😯) I've done many of the external changes you have--minimalism, nourishing diet, writing chronic exercise, etc... Your suggestion about life purpose is so good! Thank you for your vulnerability. Being angry as a Christian has always felt very shameful to me, so you sharing your heart makes me feel less alone. Keep sharing ♥️

Quitting chronic exercise***😅

I've struggled with anger for decades. I can tell when I'm not feeding my body right that there is a noticeable difference. I need to work harder on this.

I recommend using the anger to move you in posative direction! Build, garden, clean.

I can totally relate to this. My HS and college my anger came out as hurt and annoyance and being negative all the time. 15 years later when Covid hit and I found myself home with a 1 and 3 year old my anger hit a new level. Thankfully, God is good and merciful to convict and walk me through forgiveness and healing. Thank you for sharing this! Love that you give the Lord all the glory - amen, sister!

Margaret, keep sharing because there are so many people that who can relate and I am one of them! Young mom of 3 little girls I struggle with anger, I realized I feel stressed 95% of the time.. it’s gotta change! Thank you for giving me hope

Seeing this was divine timing for me. ❤️

This helped me a lot. I have been struggling with anger and hostility towards life for years now. I’m happy to hear that I’m not alone and that I can overcome it too. Thank you so much Margaret and God bless you & your family ❤️

thank you. For sharing and for that sentence - I am not an angry person. I have anger. so moving and I can relieve a bit from this pressure on me with this sentence

Thank you for your authenticity. It should help a lot of people.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m happy you are better now. I struggle a lot with anger and I feel I am a very angry person.

Good topic! I frequently get asked what to do with anger? Grief often turns to anger and needs to find healing!

I admire your courage to share your story. I've been working thru a similar circumstance. Working on the decluttering now.

My anger comes from so much pain I've had in my life and I have no idea how to let it go, especially toward the people that have caused it. Thank you for sharing your story. I know I'm capable of letting it go, I just need to figure out how.

Thank you so much for being vulnerable enough to share this! ♥️

Thank you for sharing your story. This is something I personally struggle with too.

Thank you. I really needed this. ❤️

Watching your video was like exhaling deeply, the relief to know that others have experienced similar issues with anger. I feel completely depleted and drained I am so so ready to deal with my outbursts and impatience which are erratic and not fair on my beautiful family. Help me Lord 🙏 x

Gosh, I needed to hear this. Thank you

Perfect timing, thank you 🎈

Thank you for sharing!

This helped so much. Thank you for being vulnerable and sharing your story 🤍

Thank you so much for sharing!

Thank you so much for being so transparent and vulnerable to share this. These tips are so beautiful!

Thank you for sharing your story! I was never an angry person, but after hormonal changes through pregnancies - I grew very short tempered & angry. Anything would set me off, and slowly listening to my body & removing toxic things (foods, technology, social media) and replacing with Whole Foods, reading, and slow intentional time with my kids, I am much more patient & kind! Your channel is a constant inspiration to me!

I absolutely love this!! I have been able to relate with you more through this video. I am in the process of healing right now and I really appreciate the tips!!

Thank you for sharing this 💓

Hi Margaret! Just discovered your content and subscribed. Thanks for sharing your story. There were points you made that hit home quite heavily for me. God Bless You!

​@Margaret Matheny I'm in tears watching this video. This is me. But I'm so weary of the struggle - it's exhausting (physically, mentally, and emotionally) . As a Christian, I feel like I shouldn't be dealing with this and feel so shameful when I can't control myself. It affects every aspect of my life. My children and husband usually are the ones who deal with my outbursts. I just want to give up. Thank you for sharing your story. I know there's hope now and that I'm not alone at all. 🙏🏼

Your blog was just what I needed today…God bless❤

I have the same problem. I get triggered easily, and what people don't understand once you get angry there is no other emotion that you feel. I wouldn't feel empathy, love or anything else, just pure anger that you can't control. It feels like a wave, that comes and goes. It's not easy. Being self aware is really important.

This was very helpful. I enjoy each of your videos I have a very busy work and have found myself snapping more than I usually would. Thank you for being honest in your struggles.

Thank you.

Thank you for being so incredibly vulnerable! Helped me feel less alone with the anger I have been experiencing in motherhood. ❤

This is a beautiful story Margaret and so helpful! Thank you for giving praise to the Lord! So proud of you for sharing!

Love your channel :) what an amazing find :) from one creator from another ! Beautiful work !

Needed it ❤️

So resonate with you. My frustrations came from feeling uncared for, discouraged and depressed. Enter in simple living and changing my diet and health and I started doing things for me.all that you do, the simple little things have made the biggest difference for me. 😊

Thanks for sharing your story. It's not always easy to be so open. This well help a lot of people. Especially mothers .

Thank you so much for sharing your story. I had anger for many years as well. Yelling at teammates, fighting with competitors. It wasn’t until I graduated from college that I really started to look at it. I started minimalizing and paying off my debts in 2019. It helped me become more intentional with my things and money. It changed my mindset as well. I relate to you always feeling like you want to win at everything. I still have that feeling too but it’s easier to fight and redirect my attention. ❤️🙏🏼

Thank you for your story, there's a lot of strength in that. I overcame my fear for life in general in quite the same way. By your story I feel extra empowered, so thank you very much! And I hope that you may even feel a little extra empowered that you have shared your story and it effected me in a powerfull way! All the good for you and your family, greetings from The Netherlands, by the Northsea.

Hi Margaret and thank you so much for touching on this topic, that some run from it. That's why I love and enjoy your channel bc it's more than beautiful and encouraging words, making people connect one way or another. Not me, but my husband grew up this way, and being intentional and allowing God to lead as you stated is key. I cannot imagine you angry though, you are and look so sweet. but that's the reality of all the channels we all deal with things others don't get to see through a screen. Blessings 🙏

You have NO idea how this video has blessed my life. I identify with 90% of what you shared and I too have already begun simplifying and feeling the blessings and peace in doing so. This really touched me today and thank you for being willing to share. It is confirmation that I am being led in the right direction. Thank you so SO much.
