Okay, so... when I first came here I made a thread in the bipolar success area where I said I didn't go back to a website that kicked me out and didn't go off on them. That was a huge success for me. And, I've never gone back there, and the rage went away...

So, the first step is sometimes in-action. Being, I did something else to distract myself and didn't take the action that I was extremely driven to. I am saying this is very hard, I am still working on this. But, I recall that time and still consider it a sucess to model myself after it when it happens again. And it's my success, not someone elses. So, I have confidance that I can do it again.

I didn't internalize what happened. I was extremely angry at that place, and hurt by what they said when they kicked me. But, I was able to digest it somehow and drop it by distracting myself and refusing to give in to the drive to go back on the attack.

This is just a suggested idea for a strategy. Turn the anger into fuel for another project or something....
