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.
Hello all,
New to the community and in dire need of some help and some why to vent.
I never used to be an angry person what so ever, I was easy going and happy. A turn of event a few years back with a now ex boyfriend I think could be the root to all of my anger issues now.
With the ex bf it became one of those things where he was abusive and for me it was to keep my mouth shut and not say anything about it or undermine his authority. Little things would cause him to yell and break things for no reason.
Since then I had left him, met a wonderful man and am now married. But I have found that I have developed a short fuse and the littlest things set me off now.
It scares the hell out of me because I was never like this, never. Now I could just see something and the anger is brewing in my mind. I have also started to yell alot, and quite a few times have punched my husband in the arm (never anywhere else , but this is not an attempt for an excuse. There is no excuse for my behavior).
He will do something so small and I will feel like he is doing it on purpose and start yelling at him.
As ridiculous as this sounds, when I say small things I mean, he set me purse down on the ground the other day to do something and I flipped asking if he was stupid and starting yelling at him. I have no idea why that set me off but for some reason it did and I felt like an idiot after that.
I need some help but cant afford to go to a anger councilor, If anyone has any tips that calm them down that worked to stop them before they started yelling or hitting, please kindly share them.
I need to get over this, I don't like myself to be this angry person.
I have enough stress from work and other things but I would rather that stress cause exhaustion instead of making me irritable.

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...
I close my eyes, picture walking over to the people/person who is causing the problem, imagine holding a gun to their head and blowing their head off. LOL, it's a good thing I don't own a gun. My therapist told me that's one good way to deal with it. It's only temporary but for the moment until I can take care of it completely, it helps a bit.
The thing I'm angry about is the noise my ass hold neighbors are making. I called the police. I know they aren't coming, in time to do anything but at least I tried. And I will make some calls later, to my city councilman and the police to follow up about the situation.
So, my advice is, for the moment it's happening try to control it best you can with little tips that help you. Then with the thought that you can do something later to help yourself, deal with it so it won't bother you again.
I think knowing that you can do something, either now or later might help. Rather then thinking there is nothing you can do.
