old rules

Welcome to PsychForums.com!

The rules here are simple, this is an open forum and we would like to keep it that way.

Watch Your Language Please. We understand the use of certain words, but please do not go overboard or we will need to start censoring those words.
Be Sensible. Don't post more personal information that you are willing to share with a stranger.
Be Respectful of Others. Please do not post hateful or insulting comments.
No Inappropriate Advertisements or Links. Products or sites relating to the topic of discussion are acceptable, anything else will be removed and the user warned or possibly banned.
Do Not SPAM the Forums. Post your topic to the appropriate forum, if it fits in more than one topic then select the most appropriate one.

Remember these boards are for everyone… those with mental illness, their friends, family, caregivers, students and mental health professionals.

Moderators and Administrators have the authority to warn or ban users who violate these rules.

The purpose of this forum is to learn anger management, to ask questions about how to control anger and to share what skills you have learned to help others.
It doesn't matter what issues underlie your anger.
You are responsible to contain anger and behave as a human being - not act it out harmfully and illegally.

We all know how destructive anger can be. So, here are some further recommendations for posting:
1. Be open to advice and change.
2. Don't be argumentative. You can agree to disagree but, do so respectfully and stick by the forum rules listed above.
3. Think about others when you post. Be considerate.
4. When you describe your problem - be cautious. Remember that confidentiality cannot be provided.
5. Also, don't link up with other posters. You never know who someone is in cyberspace. There are child molesters, abusers, criminals and scary people surfing the web and posting in these forums. Don't be naive.

On the other hand, there are some people posting who provide helpful advice and compassion. Be discerning.

Do not use this forum to vent and describe vicious activity and intent. I have been noticing that some people come here to vent their frustrations and aggression vs. look for support and help in managing their anger.
This is not a forum to beat up, put-down, threaten, harrass or let out your anger aggressively and in harmful ways.

Are you suicidal? Call the suicide hotline if you live in the USA: 1.800.SUICIDE (784-2433) or in Canada visit this site for crisis help: http://www.suicideinfo.ca/csp/go.aspx?tabid=77
