I'm not a doctor, but did glance at your profile. You have a right to be angry. Yet, we have to get to a point where we aren't so angry anymore and you're just not there....yet. Talk with your doctor about your feelings. Have you confronted your attacker? Depending on the situation, it may or may NOT be a good idea. Do let your doc know how you're feeling. How I wish my daughter would admit to her anger. Rage runs in my family and since I started taking meds for anxiety, I'm not as angry as I used to be over my situations. Don't get me wrong, I can get angry, but just not angry all the time.

My heart goes out to you. You've been through a lot. Dealing with it goes in stages...anger is one of them.

This helps me and i know a lot of people would disagree with me big time.

I do not see anger as such a horrible emotion, is just another emotion.

I feel it a lot.In fact for us survivors is actually a healing emotion we go through.

What i do is acknowledge it."Ok i feel angry and is ok to feel angry"

Then i go about my day knowing i do not have to act out n it and is not gonna kill me to feel it.

I know not for everyone but if i try to supress it, it only gets stronger.

What helps somewhat too is diet.

Eat a lot of greens, veggies, foods that make the PH blanace of yer blood more alkaline than acidic.Like sugars and processed food.

Drink lots of water, go easy on the caffeine....If you're not doing that already, it helps a bit.

I agree Toot, caffeine turns me into someone I don't know, so I stay away from it. I drink decaf tea and only chocolates that have more than just chocolate in it. Brownies are okay because they're breaded. I do eat lots of greens, and fresh fruits and veggies. We learned years ago that when I'd eat a lot of M&M's or Hershey's kisses, as much as I loved them, I'd be sooo irritable that I couldn't even stand myself.

Great point.

Also, is it during that week b4 period. That was a horrible time for me when I was younger, but now that I'm older, it is easy street. No mood swings, just easy.
