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.
Hey everyone... I'm an angry little SOB and am here to try to gather some coping skills... my anger stem mostly from IMPATIENCE at slowness and incompetence.
I really need to cool it because my beloved brother died of a hear attack last year at 44 and there is little doubt in our minds his anger played some part in his demise. I also have tinnitus and screaming can set it off for days, I pay the price.
The one skill I have mastered is coming down... regardless of how angry I become, after an outburst, I go back to square zero within ten minutes, which I feel at least is some level of management.
Anyhow... where does one begin!!!??!!!
I am trying melatonin tonight, I am thinking my sleep patterns have been disrupted lately due to a mega-stressful new job that has me responsible for a 24/7 ecommerce operation's servers and bugs.
I also recently broke up with my girlfriend, who had worse or as-bad anger problems with an equal temper. I don't miss her too much, but I do miss the company, but I don't think it relates to my anger.
The open court case against me for "pushing her" (!) when it was her who was hitting me with her fists all day before i had to protect my eyes and ears from her.... that definitely gets me angry even though I'm sure I'll win... the system is stacked against men for sure.
Anyhow.. maybe venting here daily will help... this site really helped me when my brother passed away.
Hey.. tell me... does your anger sort of center around revenge fantasies for something people do that have hurt you or others? I find my anger always ends up wanting to devise some plan to destroy someone... luckily via technology and not violence (i'm a hacker not a fighter!) But still...
Any comments or are you all going to ignore me and make me angry???!!! :)

Of my god.. look at the title of an ad that appears on this page now!

We should find him and bring him here.
Knowing you have a problem as the old cliche goes is your 1st step in healing, the steps after that are harder, unfortunately, but you can do it.
Vonni, good advice... I think i may have learned from my ex relationship this very thing.. it isn't going to change if i yell... she certainly didn't. My parents certainly don't. My friends absolutely not. Nobody left except me.. I change! :)
