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.
Hey everyone! I am new to this board and I wanted to introduce myself. I have had problems with anger my entire life. My father was a very angry person. I am absolutely not going to blame my behavior on my childhood because I believe in life we always have choices in how we act and react to events in our lives. I also came out of an abusive relationsip that lasted 3 years about a year ago. I give myself credit for surviving and leaving and I have come a long way, but still have outbursts of anger. Lastly, I have a disease called fibromyalgia which causes me severe pain. When I am in pain, I find it is even harder to hold my temper. I get easily frustrated at times and outright lose my temper and, basically, make a fool of myself. I really want to stop completely and I guess joining this community is my first step in doing so. I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully, getting past this anger.

I have fibromyalgia as well. Sorry we gotta live with this horrible thing that has no cure. my bf takes cover when I get angry and so does my brothers. I don't mean it, but it's like you said, it's so hard to control when you are suffering. I feel you!
I've had biofeedback therapy and currently waiting to ask my PCM to refer me to one on one anger management.
Nice to meet you!
Fenrys- yeah I have come a long way...but have a long way to go. I am a true believer that the circumstances and abuse I went through does not excuse how I behave. I'm ready to let it go. Thanks for the post!
