How can I determine when my anger has gone too far that it is unhealthy? How long is too long to be angry at any given person? How angry is too angry?

A key is this: Has the anger begun to affect your well-being?  In other words, is the anger frequently present to you?  Is it interfering with your everyday functioning?  Is it affecting your energy or your sleep or your important relationships?  If you see that the anger is now affecting your well-being and if it has persisted for weeks or months, then it is time to courageously confront that anger.  If the anger is caused by another person’s injustice, you should consider forgiving when you are ready to do so.  This likely will lower the level of anger.
