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 read a book that made me look at life and myself in a whole new spectrum....
The book I read is called: SIDDHARTHA BY HERMANN HESSE
This book has taught me to create a home within myself. I cherish this home I have made. I make sure that inside myself, my home, my sanctuary, no one can hurt me. I am so happy with myself on the inside that nothing external can hurt me. NOTHING. Everytime I am in a situation that makes me feel uncomfortable I tell myself in my head, "I am not out there, I am in HERE. I am in a place where I cannot be hurt and I am happy with myself knowing I have a place to be free!"
This book will teach you how to be centered with yourself and love yourself and your inner home. Since I have read this book I feel like everything in the world outside of me can NEVER sway me unless I let it. The key is to be happy inside. To be happy inside you must love yourself and be happy that you are the way you are, no matter what happened to you! You are not the one to blame for anything so why not love yourself?? I didnt love myself for a long time because I felt dirty about the things that happened to me in my life and I felt angry because all my life I was abandoned. Then I read this great book and realized, "Holy Cow! The reason why I am not recovering is because I hate the one thing that can help me get through it all, ME!" I am the only person that can help ME!
So I started being happy with me and learning about me so I can know what I need. I did some affirmations and I kept saying my favorite one, "My heart is KING and I crown it EVERYDAY!!!" I now feel loved, loved by MYSELF and that was what I needed to pull through. I love this book!!
I am updating some goals today: TRUST AND VALIDATE MYSELF because I trusted myself to read this book (I didnt think I was going to learn anything I just wanted some material to read. I actually second guessed this book a few times...) and when I did, I learned a great lesson. BECOME STRESS FREE because the biggest problem WAS not loving myself enough to fight these issues and feeling worthless because of them. Well no longer will I be stressed with my issues now that I know I can conquer them with a new found me, a stronger and loved me. CROWN MY HEART EVERYDAY because I learned a very valuable lesson, TO LOVE MYSELF ON THE INSIDE AND NOTHING WILL HURT YOU ON THE OUTSIDE!
Please everyone pick this book up! It will definately change your perception of yourself and make you STRONGER!! Lets all be aware of ourselves and how to channel it to our benefit :)

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
shit, I dont know what would help me.
Maybe if youre a bit fucked up it can help but if you truly hate yourself it wont help.
One of the biggest shocks of my life came in reading Gal 5:20-21. I did NOT know that outbursts of anger was even a sin, let alone up there with witchcraft idolatry and all kinds of evil. I am bipolar, and anger is one of the symptoms of the disease. It is an easy excuse, but not one God is going to accept. He really wants me to "manage" my anger and respond in love. Learning gradually.
You seem quite happy with your new discovery, but when you realize that "me"isn't enough, please write me, and I can tell you why I depend totally on God, and I am changing into a person with "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Gal. 5:22-23
Not to offend you because everyone has their own opinions and I respect you for yours, but, how can you blame a book for the choices you made?? Think about the other factors that played in those decisions you made for yourself. I sincerely think you should sit down and read it again now that youre in a more peaceful and happy awareness of yourself. It sounds like you did exactly what the book did which is engorge yourself in an empty unhappy life only to later find yourself and true happiness down the line.
You did exactly what the character in the book did. Then, because you followed what the book did, and didnt get the message the book gave, you blamed the book for your unhappiness??
Again, not to offend you and just raising some awareness, but I didnt get that from reading this book. And I dont believe you need REAL characters with REAL problems in a book for it to teach you something valuable. Thanks for commenting though! I really appreciate you reading my post and having the time to respond. I hope no offense is taken and that you have a grand day =)
For me, the changes Christ have brought are both inner and outer, because I realize I can't make it on my own. What enourages me is often someone else noticing I have changed - like my family. It is Christ who strengthens me. i am well past the age when I rely on myself or my own emotions! I have been round the block with therapists, pdocs, and explored every religion and agnostism in the world. Only Jesus works for me.
It has been a long journey and process - but He is transforming me into the kind of person I want to be - His child, yet strong. So I apologize for reacting to my past memories, and hope you will find your way through all this to the living Savior, when this does not work.
