Your hand situation reminded me of a time when I was in the psych hospital. A psychologist came in my room to talk & asked me what I really felt like doing (I had OD'ed which landed me in the hospital). I slammed my hand into the wall.....it was a cement wall next to my bed. He ended up forcing me to have my hand x-rayed to make sure I hadn't broken anything........grrrrrrrrr. I would have never slammed my hand into the wall if he hadn't said something.

Maybe you could just say the door slammed on your hand (rather than you slamming your hand on the door) if the insurance gets fussy about the whole thing (which I doubt they really will. I think the self inflicted thing goes much deeper than a broken hand (at least I would hope it does)........so many times we have accidents that end up being a self inflicted situation if truly analyzed.

Think it's a good thing to deal with your anger.....however, I know that when I was living with my husband.....my anger was through the roof, to the point where I actually saw red one time. As soon as I left him & got away, my anger also went....it took a few years of calming down......but it started to diminish immediately until I have need to deal with him again (couldn't get divorced because of financial issues).

It's important to know where your source of your anger emotion is coming from (many things do build up).......I do like the DBT type of therapy because it gets you in touch with your emotions (something I didn't know how to do). Sometimes there are therapy groups with sliding scale payments that can really help...they look at income & EXPENSES to determine the sliding scale you have to pay & it can be really low.

I am glad you are sleeping better because lack of sleep makes everything worse.
