I used to have anger, Lamictal was a med that worked for me...you have to start very small, watch for rash, it really balanced my moods, without weight gain.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time...can you understand your anger triggers...awareness is one of the best tools.

Hugs and Peace as you process...it is a 'process' and takes time...good food, exercise, nature and sleep are also at the top of the list for balance.

I have rage flare-ups, Kayleen. For me, it matters what I Do with the anger. Or Don't do.

I am careful not to say things I can't take back. I choose not to focus the anger on those around me because it's Not something they deserve, even if I got angry at Them.

Each time I get angry, I walk back a little. If I have to cuss and flail around, I go into a room by myself to do it. And wait for it to pass.

Ml is right - healthy eating and exercise help lower the anger.

When I’m mad I go to my room and do something fun like crochet. Or snuggle my pup and watch a movie. Lucky for me I don’t struggle with anger or rage. I’m sad to hear you do

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
