Anger

[sadiematthew]

When i’m depressed i can get very angry. The little things get me so ticked off. Some times i just want to break down and cry but nothing comes out. I get overwhelmed easily, what can help me through these times

I feel ya with this, my anxiety just works me up to the point im just a ticking time bomb. Thats when my mom just loves to come at me with thing i should fix in my life. She doesnt bug me with this topics any other time. All i've found that helps is to physically get up and walk way from the trigger as soon as possible and i like to go into my own space with my head phones and play a shower white noise. I just let all the thoughts come out, speak, and move to the next. Once out i love to add any healthy ideas to my mind map.

But the point i suggest is to walk away for a moment and go do something you love that lets you escape for a moment. If you need to break something, make a space outside with a sturdy trash bin and slam cans, bottle, dumpster items in it... something like that or a boxing kind of thing. Our thoughts our valid and just need released in order to improve on them

Hope this helps...

Anger is a natural feeling, we just need to learn how to tame the beast. My husband used to drink beer, I would save them for recycle, when I got highly angry, I would put on some sturdy cowboy boots and crush the cans , putting the culprits face on the cans. Yeah it diffused me. Another trick I learnt in therapy, I bought a toy baseball bat only weighted a few ounces, go in my bedroom, beat the bed, yell and cuss til I got it all out. We can only stay screaming angry for about a min. unless there is someone pushing our buttons. Give it a try and do not feel guilty. Here's wishing you well, sending love and hugs.....Sprinkle 1......

Hey man I wrote you a private message about another post you wrote. I also have info on Anger and managing it if you'd like that one too. The CBT and DBT group I went to was really good so good I'm considering returning to it to continue helping with the never ending depression I get . Hope all is well.
