Yes it's me again with another lousy day, this one was full of anger and irritation. Sometimes the anger is so much it's just all consuming, it's like someone just flicked on a switch. I wasn't always like this and I don't like it one bit and don't know how to deal with it. I argue with my mum constantly, I take the wrong meaning out of what mum says.
Have you guys considered staring a program on anger management?
So many things tick me off & the worst of it is I can't forget about them so the anger just fuels. Even writing this makes me very sad as I do not want to be this angry and sometimes I don't even know why.
Anyone ever felt like this & if so how did you deal with it?
Thanks for your response. I wish I could trace it to a specific trigger but can't. I know since I've started school my moods have got worse because of the types of people I am around. For instance the other day one in my class who I talk to was going to try and staple my finger - whoa! Then there was another guy in my english class who I don't know what rock he crawled out from under - so vulgar, reprehensible. I am angry that I have be exposed to this twilight zone. I have never in my life come across the likes, if I can complete everything by 2md semester I'm outta there!
Then there is last Friday I had to go for a rather invasive medical test. I get angry at having been on this emotional roller coaster for nearly 2 years now. As for the reason(s) being angry with my mum, some times she will say things like I'm not really trying to help myself, or what do the books say or the social workers you're seeing aren't doing you any good. This infuriates me as I think I try the best I can. I think mum is always thinking I should or could do better. I feel like I'm defective for having all this wrong with me and very guilty for putting us through this. So you see there is a lot of anger, also because I haven't been able to work since Jan/07.
So there you have it a lot of reasons for the anger but the one thing I don't have is a solution or the ability to deal with this because I don't want to be so angry.
Sorry to hear your in sort of the same boat as me. But congratulations on recognizing the way it makes you feel taking time out. I think that's quite an accomplishment.
I hope you get into therapy soon as it does help. I was in CBT last year for Panic Disorder and being with a psychotherapist gives me the structure I need to enable me to get better.
Well I couldn't go out tonight because it's like an ice skating rink around here & I don't know how to skate. So I had developed a coping strategy last year with my former psychotherapist which you mentioned. I sat on the porch & it seems to have worked. Once again Joe thank-you. Ever thought of going into the field of social work or therapy?
You know what I've really gotta to stop making a habit of these "Good Days" , one might think I'm actually getting better!
Well today was graduation day at school, or as our home room professor termed it ackowledgement day. I didn't even want to go because of the crowd I'm in with but I was very pleasantly surprised. One fellow gave a speech and it nearly had me in tears. Once again it just goes to show me what I think in advance is not usually how it actually turns out, when am I going to wisen up and just wait and see?
Glad to hear things are going well for you and a big congratulations on challenging your fears. Not an easy feat.
I don't know about the psychologists having lives as boring as trees (ha, ha), but I do think a certain type of personality is required to sit all day & listen to other people's problems. Thank god there are people like them out there to listen to people like us.
Happiness now there's something we can't get enough of in our life. Way to go!
