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.
so me and my mom have fights on almost a daily basis and i recently broke my knuckles and gave myself a concussion because of how mad i got and lost control and started hitting things like crazy. and well yesterday we were talking and she started screaming at me and i just started to shake and she noticed and started to bitch at me and telling me to just hit her already that everyone knows i want to and i kept telling her to just back off and leave me alone next thing i know my mom throws a knife at me the great thing is that it missed but i instantly lost it and threw the chair to the side and started screaming at her and getting in her face until she was pinned to the wall and i've never tried to hit my mom but it was just to much and i threw a punch but i missed and hit the wall so hard that i ended up making a hole in it. then when i calmed down i noticed how swollen my hand was and that there was blood all over my knuckles. what could be a better way to take out my anger without harming myself or the people around me
Please call and get some professional help/advice. Throwing knives, etc. is not okay. Your mother needs help, too, it sounds like.
