Anger Management Support Group

1 - Meh. Not too bad at all. I'm smiling.

2 - I'm a little annoyed, but dealing.

3 - I'm getting angered over small things.

4 - I'm angry and really need to vent.

5 - I am seriously ready to rip someone's face off.

6 - I am something else altogether.

(I figured #6 could be there in case you "just can't pick one".)

====================================================

4 It's really hard to keep the focus on myself when I am so sick and tired of my friggin co-workers!! I want to rip their faces off!! Oops, I guess that puts me at a 5. Teehee. Actually it's not even them, it's our supervisor that is really a piece of work. She's got a game going on that has allowed her to fly under the wire for a very long time. She's horrible at her job but she's really good at sitting in her office and revising forms. We all pay the price for her lack of management skills. But I need to focus on improving myself because that is my way out of this mess. The thing that hurts me most is the lack of recognition. My pride is hurt. I worked really hard to accomplish some things in my relationships with my co-workers and they chose to lie instead of improve themselves. So I feel like crap like our agency director thinks that I am a horrible employee and that hurts alot. My self esteem is just really low today and that causes me to feel defensive and I'm afraid that if someone criticizes me I'm going to take their head off. Sometimes having integrity really hurts. My sons used to ask me why I wanted them to tell the truth because then they always got into trouble while the rest of the kids just lied their way out of things. Right now I'm wondering the same thing. Is there really a benefit to being honest?

hi jebs, i think were on the wrong date. Im not sure how to start a new one.

Actually I think we are on the right discussion thread. I mean, we can take these discussions as far as we want and I really like this discussion so plan to check in here often and gauge my anger level. I added to my post above so please read and give me some feedback if you have time. Thanks!
