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.
Hello everyone. I am new to this group. I have been married for 15 years and had a wife that tried and failed to help me with all my problems for years. I have severe anger issues. We had a big blow up a month ago over my porn and gambling addiction. Instead of getting mad I finally changed. I turned over all our finances to her and haven't watched porn since then. However it may be to late for us.I have had the most open and honest relationship with her since then and learned that even though I knew my anger was bad I didn't realize this game I had done. I have been an emotionally abusive husband and also on a couple occasions physical toward her. The physical altercations I have very limited memory of. In those she said I grabbed her and shook her. I am trying really hard to change who I am and get a control on my anger now. I have realized that between porn and finances and the lies I used to tell to cover them up fed my anger. I'm happier now than I ever have been. I am working to find support groups, on-line groups and therapists. If anyone has information please send it my way
I truly hope that you can find outside help in the form of therapy and maybe a psychiatric evaluation. I am on meds because I was diagnosed bipolar. But I need a med check because I havent had one in a very long time and the frequency and level of episodes I've been having has increased.
It’s a learning curve dealing with ourselves and I feel like I'm just at the very beginning of it.
