Struggling with anger

[jessica32]

Have some serious problems keeping cool so on edge not entirely sure if is because beard is just beginning to shed and that is first big permanent change but I am really filled with raw nerves

[Valwen]

my anger is a serious issue, I am often self destructive when angry. Though for the last few months I managed to avoided any self harm....untill a few days ago...trying to recover from that.

Lately it seems like I am either horny, angry, or crying constantly. Sometimes more than one at a time. If I didn't know better I would assume I am PMSing. :-P

I am going to try some more meditation tonight and extra sleep. I have several very negitive recordings I made to play for my therapist and I am thinking of deleting them, dwelling on my problems is not likely to do much good and will put me into a bad mood again.

sorry for sorta hijacking this but I just wanted to say, Your not alone. And Try to never be upset with yourself for getting angry, everyone gets angry its just one way we react to stress.

::hugs:: wish I could help more

here especially on page two are quite a few things to do:

You might:
-try not to concentrate on it, seeing it lightly if possible
-talk to people... there is also a chat on susans...
-do somethng you like
-do something soothing, like having a cup of tea
-not dwelling on anger, thinking about something else
-maybe keeping a notepad and working on solutions so in the long term situations bringing up anger are solved...
so you have a feeling it will get better eventually. Simply keep on trying... try something different if it does not work out immediately...
-knowing if you keep on it will get better...
-its a step by step process. Just take the next step, the next day, etc... it will get better eventually.

-there are helplines, please each out in case.
