I was looking up writing tips when my mom decided to give me the same "think about your future" stuff again. For some reason she still doesn't think I get it. So this time no punches were thrown, no throats were strangled; I caved. I just broke out into this big mess of tears and she calmed down. It was kinda' pathetic, but rewarding in its own right.

If you dont find any positive result with the psy, try an anger management specialist. If you cant find none in your area , let me know and i'll try to help

Hmm... I personally think it might [partially] be
because of this "anchor" that I started bottling up stuff in the first place. I'd just get the same reaction over and over again, so I guess there wasn't any point invoking a reaction in the first place. Which doesn't change the reaction, it just makes it more explosive when I invite it again. I think I've likened it more to a weed, but the general idea stays the same. Thanks for that. ^_^
