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.
Today is Thanksgiving, I don't seem to be very thankful. My husband annoyed me from the beginning of the day. You see he is a firefighter and his hours are very late. Well, ok, I knew he would sleep in but seriously, on a holiday where my family is hosting Thanksgiving, he didn't wake until 1 or 2. I tried all day to wake him up nicely but then it got to be too much. I said wake up or have a nice Thanksgiving by yourself, he said two nasty words to me so I left for my Mom's. He showed up a little later but that is aweful. Well, Thanksgiving dinner was nice however when we got home I found that my home (which is in complete construction/destruction since we bought it) is a mess. It smells, there is "stuff" everywhere and I just can't take it anymore. Its just overwhelming to me. He currently is sitting watching tv while I am in such a state of stress and upset"ness." I yelled a little, cried a little and then I found this group online. I am in search of help. I know life can be overwhelming but when it comes to my husbands arrogance, don't I have a right to be upset at him? I just don't know what to do. I feel stuck.

It is not fair that he ruined your holiday over something so trivial. Ideally, you should start a constructive conversation and state why his behavior upset you and what you can do to avoid this in the future. The problem always is how the other person will react. Hopefully he'll be able to see that your marriage deserves a chance to get past this and work on the problem. Best of luck.

Well one thing I learned from my wife is it is ok to be upset with her to be angry at her. As long as we talk about it later to work it out. I know it sounds easier than doing it at least for me. But I hope this helps.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
