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.

Pissed off

SJB12
SJB12
I'm generally a calm easygoing person, The trouble is that when things do really piss me off I can either get somewhat violently angry or I will tend to to view my life as a dark place or one filled with dissappointments and I tend to dwell on wrongdoings that have been done to me. I have accomplished a few things in life and am usually grateful for the things I have been able to accomplish and the opportunities I have had but when I feel very upset about things it often leads me into a funk where I feel life is shit. I would be interested to know how others deal with anger and despair when they are feeling it? Thanks ahead of time to those that respond.

"Let Go and Let God" is the Christain approach. Other people believe in something called Karma. I know too many people who delight in icausing harm to others, who seem to be doing just fine, for decades, now.

If I really believed that each and every time someone did something inflicting or intending harm, that they would be paid back for this, every day would be like Christmas!

I know all too well the demon that you face.
The one thing I have taken up that I am trying my best to stick to is Meditation. When I first started it, I found it to be a drag then as the sessions went on, it unlocked a barrage of things and feelings within me that scared the living shit out of me as I really didnt realize just how much I had bottled inside me.
The session sare coming along but I still have a aways to go.

I know exactly how you feel. I can be fine but as soon as one thing happens it's not good enough, I have to pull up every other crappy memory I've ever had to go with it. The cycle is vicious. My faith has helped me a lot but ultimately i am still always struggling to control the anger nd subsequent anxiety attacks. I took lexapro for a couple of years and it helped a lot with the way I perceived life, but I still had my violent outbursts. I hope you find something that works for you; I'm still looking for mine. In the meantime we are here for you.
