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.
A couple of years ago after I entered surgical menopause, I started having really bad tempers. I was on hormones but they really didn't help with the anger.
I seem to bottle up all my anger and when the least little thing happens I blow up. I start screaming, yelling, throwing and breaking things. I regret it afterwards and feel awful in front of my kids.
I have gotten a little better but still need a better way to manage this anger.
Also I was sexually abused as a child and feel that has a lot to do with my anger. I used to be in therapy but never for anger management.
Any support would be appreciated.

I know this may not seem like support but
I hope this is your priority...I doubt being on the boards is going to be enough. I am concerned for your children.
other feelings I could start looking for feelings other than anger...this gave me a sense of control and hope and allowed me to
start dealing with things like fear, shame, insecurity etc. Anger is really a distraction from more painful feelings but we can get pretty addicted to it because it give us a feeling of temporary power...only thing is for many people it causes real problems in their relationships and creates further pain and hurt for you and others and so one never gets their needs met but cycle between the energy of anger and the temporary good feelings of releasing it....that is not really dealing with the cause of it however so it will end up makiing you miserable even though you continue to believe it won't.
