Anger Management Support Group
Anger management commonly refers to therapeutic techniques by which someone with excessive or uncontrollable anger can control or reduce their emotions. Typical examples include the use of deep breathing and meditation as a means to relaxation. Psychologists recommend a balanced approach, which both controls the emotion and allows it to express itself in a healthy way.
I'm going through mixed emotions lately, having gone through a breakup recently from my partner of 4 years. I had to move in with my father to make ends meet.I've noticed an increse of internal anger that's expressed harshly, and people around me noticing it and reminding me of it alot lately. I'm having a hard time defining why I'm so angry all the time. I feel resentful and sarcastic towards others, and my mind wonders why I feel alone. I attempted recently to rekindle a friendship of 17 years. We started to frequent bars, basically trying to get me out again to meet new people. I started to party a bit too hard, and found myself the last two times become defensive and start yelling at my friend. This last time ended up with me having a black eye, and a bruised ego. Its funny how falling flat on your face makes you realize how big of a problem you have. Tonight my father started a political debate with me. I wasn't feeling in the mood to debate him. I asked him to please drop the subject 4 times. He pushed and pushed. It ended with the two of us bickering and him telling me I need to find another place to stay. I'm falling hard, and I know I need guidance to figure out why everything feels like its caving in on me. I have to make it through this semester...I'm hopefully graduating in May.

I know what it is like to be mad all the time and not know why. Maybe you should step back and really think about why you are mad. Is it because you lost your spouse? School stressful? living back at home? Sad? Hurt? Guilt etc? There could be many things deep down that are making you mad and now they are comming out because of life situations. My therapist says for me to write down when I am mad, what made me mad and the feeling behind the anger. Maybe you could try this and see if it is helpful

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...

My ENT sent me for more tests last week...one where they had me lie back in a chair, with blacked out goggles on so I couldn't see while they administered water into my ears one at a time ( first warm, then room-tempurature, then cold) while they video taped my eyes and asked me questions to determine how cognizant I was... This test went HORRIBLY. They were about 20 seconds or so into...
