A little snappy today

So I am back to feeling sudden anger coming out of nowhere. Just want to share about it and I guess I know the drill already. This PTSD is weird. One moment I'm fine and the other I'm angry.

Agreed. It never fails to catch me slightly off-guard. And once it is gone, it is almost like it never happened, even though it did. Hope you are back to your "regular" self again soon.

With PTSD we never know when or why anger finds us. One moment we're laughing and the next, a word, a picture, a comment, a noise just makes us snap. I'm also Bipolar and it makes it even worse. Glad to see I'm no alone.

This week I am thinking awareness is the best I can hope for. "...just share about it and think I know the drill already."

Thanks for reminding me. I forget sometimes.

Yep...I love PTSD and the anger that goes along with it. Society says it is wrong to be angery, so it brings guilt that you cannot control yourself. I punched a door tonight when I got overwhelmed and frustrated. Trying to control PTSD has been the toughest thing I have ever done in my life and guess what I am losing....it is controlling me. I am nto how I use to be, have no self-esteem, confidience, cannot make decisions, don't like people, cannot hold a job, get tired easy, frustrated, and have anger issues. Oh, yes and let's not forget that I can remember who I use to be....well balanced and successful. PTSD is nasty and it has ruined my life and my career.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
