Hello my lovely,

I'll be honest, my anger and aggression has been horrific since my Tbi in January. I am diagnosed as nuts, I have Bipolar Affective disorder but I have never experienced the extent of my anger before my Tbi. I have been a registered nurse for 20 yrs which shows it couldn't of been this bad or I couldn't of done the job I do.

An example of how bad it is. My fourteen year old son was threatened by a group of older teenagers. I made him give me there names, I found where every one of them lived, I waited outside each house and told them if they so much as touched him I would find them and make sure them mother missed them because th

they would disappear. Sorry I hit the send button by mistake. They haven't even spoke to my son again and they cross the road to avoid him. I have been in other nasty situations but I don't want to bore you I just want you to understand you are not alone. They thing is I want to just tear apart anybody that irritates me. The only people I am ok with is my family, I'm abit of a loner so I don't know about friends. I'm just hoping that as my accident wasn't that long ago, this anger and aggression will pass. Just hang there my lovely.

I wish you peace, happiness and a whole lot of luck for the future my friends,

Yup. I am just generally 'difficult' after my accident. I seem to P!$$ people off and lose family and friends. When I get tired I get more irritable. Bummer.

Yes and I hate it but can't seem to help it. I meditated before and was usually a very relaxed person but feel myself getting so angry all the time now and I don't mean to. It's only a while afterwards that I realise how angry I've been. Still trying to get it under control but it's so hard because I don't realise I'm doing it most times.
