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.

This is the second time ive ever joined a support group or sought support from others for my anger... the last one I joined only had one regular responder and he was extremely condescending and disrespectful. So here I am...

Im finding that it gets worse and worse as I get older (im 31 now). For the last year or two Im just angry all the time. I can find the most exciting and happy situation, something ive dreamed of doing forever... and I would immediately hone in on the negative parts of it and pick it apart over and over until I, along with anyone else with me, wasnt having fun anymore. I hate being like this, and that makes me angry all over again. Im becoming more and more volatile with age, as well, and my agression has reached new heights. Violence, threats, and more. To the point that it's cost me a seven year relationship with the most incredible woman in the world. She has moved out.. we are still talking.. but its literally hanging by a thread. A very thing, frail, and fraying thread.

I dont know what to do. I really am lost in this red world... and I cant seem to find my way.

This has to be one of the toughest things to deal with. My anger almost feels like it's a disease; a deep ocean that I'm drowning in at times. To be completely honest with you, people like us, who are so angry and feel like we can't find a solution, need counseling. I thought I was going to lose my job because my anger got to the point at work where I took it out on one specific co-worker and she felt like she was being harassed and was afraid. I never thought in a million years that I would become someone like this. It's very scary. I almost lost my fiance over my angry tendencies. I was able to get counseling through my workplace for free. If you have insurance, they actually have programs out there where they can work with you to pay for therapy, if that is the route you would like to choose. I hope things work out for you. You just have to take it one day at a time. You're not alone in this battle. :)

Personally i would say go to therapy to get
At your root causes and issues. Men surpress
So many feelings and emotions. Most anger
Like that comes from childhood and if you are
Brave enough to face it and actually work on it.

12 step groups are great too i go to alalnon, my
Ex goes to AA. He had a lot of unresolved child
Hood anger thats why he was a drunk 12-24 then
I got his anger. Much is the shame and guilt, he
would never be real honest about his childhood
Much Too painful. HUGS

do you know what the root of your anger and seeing negative in the midst of good things happening??
Do you feel good about your career?
Are you ok w/ the relationship with your family, parents?
