anger management

During the past few days I experienced a situation that Iam and will be worried about. My anger during a short period of time needed definitely anger management. What the worry? The fact If the situation could have been prevented or not. The voices in my head were abusive again. For not long they were seemingly not there, but this night led to an argument, or outburst that I for a few minutes could not stop. If someone who heard me did not approach I don't know what would of happened. Alone and angry is a worry for many people. To manage it I will ask you for advice. Maybe a suggestion from experience will bring me some education I deserve. I am mentally Ill with anxiety disorders and could use some advice.

Dear btweenmainstrms,

Mental illlness complicates anger management, as you are well aware. When we feel anxious, depressed, or confused, controlling our anger is so much more difficult.
Can you describe your actual mental health symptoms in greater detail? With more information, we can possibly guide you to resources tailored to your needs. From reading your posts I get that you are socially isolated, feel stigmatized and rejected, and have been struggling with mental health issues for years. Are you suffering from schizophrenia; hearing voices is a symptom of that disorder.

thanks for the reply. Yes puma I do experience voices of some sort. I recently made strides in a mental health psychosocial rehabilitation center. I have been in somewhat a set-back point in my rehab. I have signed with a councelor and am taking meds. I will check-out the post again for the forum. In more detail, I do get the rejection thoughts somewhat everyday. By the time it's too late to make the best descision for myself, I feel angry at the environment that my life is within. Total failure after seventeen years of college with allmost no good credits of knowledge that would see me through a bad experience. I thought after, maybe had I chosen a different path of life. The fact is I won't trade myself for anyone on earth-good times or bad. This allmost limits me to no real father figure in my life; he passed on eight years ago. he was a central figure in my life. My family is in support of treatment and has seen this anger which they could not really talk me out of. I was in a dilusional state. Meds first, talking and coping skills. There is my new thought. Also, am getting to know my mothers boyfriend who helps to. They had very different career paths, but each found an opportunity to advise me sincerely. The anger is a reaction to something or situation in life sometime, but I sometimes will just end up being angry at nothing. Those times I think you are talking about. I don't like them, it just happens.

I, too, have experienced episodes of anger with no good reason, just an angry feeling in general. Like bad weather in my head. When I feel this sort of unfocused anger I go for a long walk, to clear my head. The physical activity calms me down. I don't try to figure out why I am having an anger storm, I just walk it off.

Maam, i think as early as now you should consider going to some counseling.... Counseling on anger management, this people have an expertise on that particular problem and issue..

Because if you don't do something about it, that may become a worst problem in a long run... so take it seriously as early as now... before it is not too late for you and save the relationships between your family and you.
