anger management

Post by marshmallowfluff » Sat Jun 03, 2006 9:38 pm

I feel stupid posting this. very, very stupid, and dont really know how to phrase it so bare with me.


Sooo anyway... Just lately (well, from about octoberish) i have had major anger issues. Okay, this kind of reached its peak between october and... februaryish, then everything was okay for a while. But for the couple of months i have been getting so wound up over the slightest thing. I'm like a child, seriously, if i don't get my own way i totally loose it. I dont mean to do it and its so hard to control it. bleh :yuck: Like, the tinies of things grate on my brain so hard. The other day, i was in my mums bedroom and i was playing with the dog and i left my bedroom light on. My dad came upstairs and switched it off just to annoy me. Well... you can probably imagine the rest. I managed to break some stuff in the process :oops:

anyways, i wanna do summit about it, cos i dont like being like this, and i can see myself doing something extreme if this carries on :o And its totally impossible to stop SIing when i get like this. Its okay to say it'll stop soon, but it wont be long until it all starts again, but i dont want it to start again cos i get out of control. I know a little anger is healthy, but this is so not healthy, includign to the people around me.


sooo... i was just wondering:

:star: what does anger management involve?
:star: who do i have to see?
:star: how long will it take to "fix" me? (or for things to start getting better)
:star: does it help?
:star: for those who have had AM before, if you are less angry than you were before, do you SI less because you don't get as angry as often? (what a mouthful :o)


Thank you in advance to those who reply :)

do you mean an anger management group?
or just 'how to deal with anger?'

sorry, lol i feel dense.

if you mean the second i can very much relate.
one of us recently broke a cellphone & other stuff & very much scared furrballs... etc.

i'd be more than willing to discuss things... (preferrably pm'ed as i'm a bit uncomfortable discussing this here atm as umm i'm rather not too sure of myself on this issue :oops:)

if you mean the first though... no suggestions :)

I wrote a similar topic a couple of weeks ago now, you may find some of the suggestions people gave me useful:
