I’m Angry

[Bray1567]

I want to scream I want to be angry I want to ******* be as relentless as ever right now but I’m trying to hold back and keep myself under control but I’m tired of being hurt. Can someone one ANYONE save me from myself? I’m a ticking time bomb ready to explode and idk how much more I can handle

I am so sorry. I know how it feels. Maybe try punching a pillow or throwing a ball around or running or something to expel some of that energy. You could also try deep breathing, in for 4, hold for 7, out for 8. Listening to calming music on youtube. Be safe oh also, you should edit that word to f******g because some people on here get offended by swearing and wont answer your question.

It's also against the rules on here! x

[Bray1567 in reply to Hidden]

I’m not editing it, people can just ignore it if it’s that bothersome because this is a place to fully express our emotions

[hypercat54 in reply to Bray1567]

If you disagree with this you need to take it up with the admins or HU.

I agree with you...and I personally don't care how you express yourself. To me it's more important that your able to express yourself and that your issue be addressed...

If your over 18 you could be drafted and have to fight for your country back in my day...if your over 21 you can vote and drink and you’re considered an adult....so to tell another adult you can't curse seems childish and controlling. I wonder if anyone told the President's who cursed like sailors, and CEO's, etc. not to curse. ...but it is in the terms of use on the site that dictate we don’t curse…oh **&%£"!

[hypercat54 in reply to fauxartist]

Using foul language is as triggering to some people as promoting your own religion is for others which is why they aren't allowed on here. There is no difference. x

[fauxartist in reply to hypercat54]

Yet I'm seeing more religious promotion here than ever before....so it seems that admin. is selective as to what they choose to enforce and what they don't edit, even though it's in the terms of use too....I don't care Bev. about swearing...but I do respect your point, and it is why I don't openly curse here because I respect the site terms of use.

But there seems to be a growing 'one kind' of religious agenda here, and admin. just looks the other way. I think if they are going to edit swearing because it's site policy, then so too should they edit all the religious promotion, as that's against site policy too. But if you protest about promoting one religion over another, or for pushing your religious agenda on this site, all of a sudden your toxic here and a Godless heathen....like you just kicked someone’s dog. My religious beliefs are no one’s business but my own...I never said I wasn't Christian..but that should not be an issue with anyone here no matter what.....the site is supposed to be about anxiety and depression, if you allow one rule to be broken, then just throw out the rest too. If God could heal my depression then I wouldn't need to be here. I think we are given a brain to use to figure out what works for us. And if I want to swear, I can do it in PM, so too should religious discussions be.

I read an article about the over-reacting type of anger to certain things/situations. There are situations that can be personal anger triggers. I am usually calm & patient, but certain things- cause me to pop off with extreme anger.

On self-reflection, I determined it was from abandonment issues or criticism, or need to be right. Now I try to STOP, take a deep breath & keep quiet or walk away or count to ten to myself. I was ruining relationships & actually surprised at myself after the angry rants that spilled out of me.

I know how that feels. I had bad one yesterday. I was shaking so badly. I want to lash out at that person who triggered my anger. But I stopped myself and as hard as it is, tried to control my anger cause I don't want to loose my job.

The other day, I lashed out at a cab driver just because he didn't drop me off at the spot I want to be dropped off. Shouting and even cursing him.

I know how it feels like to be a ticking time bomb. Nobody could calm me that easily. Either they stepped away and let me be or suffer my anger.

But in the end i regretted it.

Today somebody advised me to shout it out and swear that person. With nobody hearing me of course. And it made me feel better.

[Bray1567 in reply to Hidden]

I’m glad you are feeling better. I try so hard to control my anger but people can REALLY make me want to rage out of control and when I’m already in a depressed mood it’s really like throwing gasoline on the fire for me

[Hidden in reply to Bray1567]

It's really hard to control when your in a depressed mood. I stay away from people if I am in a state that I am so mad. Just to avoid any problems.

Do you know what bipolar is? Look it up and see if it sounds like what you are experiencing.

I have good news: someone can save you from yourself! That someone is of course You! I'm not trying to be critical, but it is empowering to realize that You have the power to change things about yourself.

You already made some excellent progress by realizing that you have had a problem with this, and by reaching out for help. Many of us have suffered the same issue. I found my answer on YouTube. Simply enter "controlling anger" or something that appeals to you in the search box, and you will find many proven techniques that you can use! I learned that I get the best results by not getting angry in the first place.

I hope you find this useful, if not simply disregard it, I'm sure you will get many good suggestions here that will work for you !

I totally get it. I’m not proud of overreacting when (for example) someone nearly hits me with their car, but it happens. It helps to not beat myself up afterwards and have some compassion for myself. Without that it only gets worse. And remembering to breathe is also helpful.

Read a few details about it. Yeah it seems it is.
