so i have serious anger problems i just fly off the handle and it is bad...i get so mad and i say things and do things to hurt people for doing mean things to me....i know its bad but i get so angry i want to hurt someone for saying something that they might not mean to be hurtful but i take it the wrong way...sometimes i feel that people are out just to piss me off....i feel that people dont want me to be happy and they only want to see me mad...i do not know how to control my anger sometimes i get so angry i scare myself

I can relate and agree with some of your thoughts. i hope you feel better

I am reading a wonderful book right now. Why do I keep doing that? Why do I keep doing that? Breaking the negative patterns in your life. By: Dennis Wholey

wonderful book and has opened my eyes to many things that I keep repeating and repeating

I have a rather unique way of doing what your describing. I ask myself a question

Isn't that interesting that...." whatever I'm doing or thinking or feeling..It takes me out of the situation, but I remain in the moment as an observer. It helps me see things from outside of myself, and helps me see things from a different perspective...It separates the overwhelming emotions from rational thinking, and allows me to see the situation more realisticaly and more clearly too. I can often see what has triggered my anger or confusion, guilt, blame, but as an obsrver, I don't take it as personally! Then I can deal with the issue instead of my feelings and emotions...Does that make any sense at all to you?

Doing this, just asking the question, has helped me in many areas of my own illness! Not just anger, but also in making better decissions, in what battles I choose to fight or which ones aren't either worth my time, or that I am not yet ready to deal with!

HUGZ and a TICKLE Singer!

wifey,

You said: ".sometimes i feel that people are out just to piss me off" I feel this at least once a day, and I blow up at least half the time, even though I'm working on it. Hang in there; you're not alone.
