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 scared I'm crazy, not just angry

I'm a 30 yr old woman generally content with life, but there are so many things that drive me to the point of blind fury that most other people would take it their stride. Today for example I had my broadband cut off because the ISP screwed up my billing, however unless I want to wait for them to rectify it which will take a week, I wound up paying it and hoping to get a refund (like that will ever happen). I took my laundry into the laundrette because my washing machine is broken down and despite paying a small fortune for a service wash I got back to find the laundrette locked up and all my now dry washing scrunched into a heap. So after spending nearly 50 ($100!) to get stuff to wear to work tomorrow and clean sheets to sleep on tonight I now can't get it until Saturday (when it will cost me ANOTHER 16 to collect it) and I'll have to spend hous ironing when I never iron because she couldn't be bothered to fold my stuff out of the drier even though I paid for it. I wanted to smash in the windows of the shop and I know that I will wind up shouting and screaming at the woman when I go to collect it. How stupid is that?, but I'm still furious. I want to hurt someone. Probably myself. I'm sure this kind of rage is not healthy and I know I need to sort something out, but how? How do I stop feeling like every day is the windsheid and I'm the bug? Just for one day I want to be the wind sheild!....HELP!

You know...this is me and its called the Law of diminishing returns. Not enough fun, reward, joy, and the crap builds up like a snowball. When your tired everything goes wrong as well. I have had HUGE anger trouble to the point of suicide because I was afraid I would kill someone else. Don't look for fairness, don't expect honesty from people, realize most people driving around are feeling like you. Anger makes you sad and feel so powerless and is exhausting. The only thing I can find to try and help me is be more pro-active and address issues immediately instead of clamming up and exploding later on about something yesterday for a week. Remember (i've noticed) people take nice for stupid. Dont cast your pearls before swine. In my opinion the majority of the planet is evil and lying is now the excepted way to be and if your direct than you have a problem. That's just my experience. Best to you Jennay

Hello all,I'm Ken and I am quite new to this site.My hope is that I will not not scare you away but instead make some realy good friends.I am one that had become a friend to his anger and well actully enjoyed it untill I destroyed my marriage to the only woman in the world that had broken through my defenses and had gotten me to love her beyond & above all else on this earth. I let loose with some awful words of anger and now I'm alone and understandably so.I have seen true anger and hatred within war and loved it (sorry but I pull no punches) so I am going back soon.sometimes all you can do is walk it tall, even when anger takes over and spins you out of control. I would like to say "learn from your mistakes" but I cannot say that for anger and hatred control me not allowing me change my ways.There for I am allways looked upon as the bad guy.Why not embrace it - accept it if you will and go with it. Then again I am not a professional phsyc. Please know you are not alone and there is allways someone to talk to.Nice to meet you and hopefuly speak to you soon.Ken

Hi there Greg here. I have been battling my anger my whole life. 34 years. Its a royal bitch! up until about 2 weeks ago i had found methods to keep my anger in check. Deep breathing, waking meditation, standard meditation. Martial arts tehniques that help to bring peace to the mind. i even tried beating the shit out of a 150lbs punching bag. That has always helped in the past. I feel like im loosing it. thankfully i have an appt tonight with my new md. Just what i wanted another head shrinker. If there are any md's or shrinks that see this please dont take it personal i dont like doctors in genral. i hate being on meds but with clinical depression and bipolar II things get a little out there at times. i wish all of you the best in finding what works for you.

Greg

anger is natural, it makes you feel strong and powerful, and the furthest thing from helpless. in these situations, you were pretty much helpless to control. you want your service, pay now, again, or wait a week. as for the clothes, you couldnt do a darn thing. so anger is natural. when i get wound up that way, i have learned to just start looking at my options. recognizing that i have choice. i can yell at the person on the phone, or just exercise choice over the limited options i do have. i could bust in the glass, or just go home. it is almost like a game. the world wants to make me angry, and if i dont go there, i win. just how i deal, hope it helps.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
