Do you guys ever get irrationally angry. You know that it is irrational but you cant calm down. I hate it. I set up to start seeing a therapist. I set two appointments up with two different people. I canceled the one because it costed to much and i liked the other lady better. So, im all set to see "other lady" today. She texts me she has a leak and we have to reschedule. It just sucks cause i canceled with other girl for her and i know she obviously doesnt know this and she had good reason to cancel. Im just irritated with the whole situation. So, what kind of things have you guys gotten irrationally angry about? How did you end up calming down?
SunCloudJD - You are right too regarding situations being a 'mixed state.' Lol. When are my moods not a mixed up thing? (More of a rhetorical question for me) I ask because often my anxiety gets the better of me when I am unclear about about why I feel a certain way. Accepting my emotions for what they are instead of pushing them away or stuffing them into my denial sack does help.
Prettyinink4 - Maybe you just had a bad day. I mean, I have those and well...they deepen my understanding and remind me to sit still, be patient or chill. That's the learning curve for me-being ok with having love, acceptance and connection come from within, not without. I am constantly searching for those things. To answer your question about how I feel after I'm angry, I feel drained but with some relief. Asking questions about something when it first comes up as confusing helps head off the anger monster. Ha. Ok. Enough rambling.
Thanks for reading and replying everyone. You guys rock!
