This may be OT...but in light of my depression...this is where i come for help...I've had a pretty good day until a few minutes ago...when I got into full all out argument with my "life partner" .... and I am just so mad and frustrated right now because everything has to be his way and if its not he just is willing to work with me...i know you probably don't understand but I just need to vent...since i have no other way to release my anger...and ... I am just so mad that i need to figure out how to calm down...UGH

Can you get out of the house for a while and just walk? Helps me someimes. Or a drive, if you're safe for it (sometimes I would get so mad I shook too hard to drive, that's the only reason I mention that).

Very sorry that your partner's being stubborn...and vent away, that's what we're here for :)

Deep breaths...deep breaths...can you zone out for a little while; walk, t.v., punch something? Personally, I like to break things but I don't recommend this because he'll think your nuts. Big Hug! Keep venting...that will probably help the most.

thank you both...i've calmed down a little...i would have loved to have just left and go for drive, but i have no money, no gas, and I was definately to angry (shaking) to be safe...and it's a bit to warm here to go for a walk...but I am going to do that in a little while....when it cools down a bit, before dark...

I also did some deep deep deep breathing and some serious praying and decided to listen to music really loud through my headphones...that helped...i'm calm enough to write this response now and then go fix me something to eat before going on that walk...

and then later I think I'll journal about today...i find that's the only way i can really tell him what i think without getting frustrated, stressed or just f***ing angry...thanks again, guys!

I love DS!

I understand, I really do. I am so pissed at mine right now I could blow him up.................this is why I don't keep weapons in my house. OK,,no one turn me in, you know what I mean, just extremely pissed right now! I wish I were a bird, I would drop a few bombs on him. haha
