I feel like I need to stay from PC. I don't think it's helping me. I need something that deals with anger issues and I don't feel like that need is being addressed here at PC.
This is not one of those "poor me-I'm not being noticed so I'm going away" posts. It's more like-My mental health issue is being treated like a red headed step child and I am not at all happy about it so I need to go and try to find another site that deals with it but before I do, let me make one last ditch effort 'cause I really like this place and I like the people and I don't want to have to leave...


PC won't put in an "anger management" category but there's one for Spirituality-which I think is strange since we're not supposed to discuss religion. (NO offense, PLEASE-I have nothing against the religious people here-I just distinctly remember reading in the rules that we weren't allowed to discuss religion here on PC.) And there's one for sexual content and they'll even give teens their own chat room... but, God forbid-"we cannot address your anger directly" it's gotta be hidden under some other category and good luck as to trying to figure out which category your anger issue fits under.

Totally ignoring anger as an issue under mental illnesses is a little like saying there's something sooo wrong with anyone who has anger-well, we won't/can't even discuss it.


I'm tired of everyone elses needs being met and categories under every other subject under the sun except anger. Doc John do you have issues with dealing with anger and people who have anger issues? I think it's a slap in the face when you look at ALL of the other categories but you cannot fit "Anger Issues" in the menu?

So, I'm angry (not surprisingly) at PC and I don't want to be someplace that addresses EVERYONE ELSE'S needs but those who are dealing with serious anger issues. With the increase in violence and the need for more and more anger management classes in our world-you might think anger would be a topic on top of the list.

More then likely I'm out of line and I deserve to have this post deleted but I am feeling left out and I've tried saying it in a nice, non aggressive way but it was basically just pushed aside and we were told, put it under another heading 'cause having an anger category is going to cause problems. Oh really? Like other categories don't cause conflict?

With an anger category we have some place to put our anger-where, if a member doesn't want to have to deal with aggression or foul language-they will already know to avoid the area.
And it won't be place to pick fights with people, it would be a place to talk about your anger- to vent about it and what it does to your relationships and your life in general. A place where we could give each other tips on how to calm ourselves down.

A place were all anger can be directed-say if someone is responding to a thread and they're mad about the subject-not a person posting about the subject and it's taking away from the subject itself because the anger is upsetting other members then you can just simply tell them to post their anger about this issue in the anger section. This way, the person with the anger can still express themselves but the post subject itself won't have to be swallowed up by a member/s anger on the subject.
I'm not saying it should be a place people can go crazy and be disrespectful to others. It's just sometimes I'm so hyper conscience other's being offended by any anger in my post/response under other headings that I have to censor myself to the point where I'm thinking "oh forget it" and I end up just not responding or writing the post at all. I want to be able to say God damn without feeling I've offended someone who's religious. You know? They have their religious category-nobody curses there and that's great but why can't I be able to post without being afraid of saying something not etiquitte or polite when I'm in a rage and just simply need to express my emotions without having to edit 'cause I'm trying to be respectful of other members. Why isn't MY ANGER being respected as an emotion that I'm ALLOWED to have?

You wouldn't tell someone who's suffering from anxiety- "Go and discuss your anxiety issues under another heading, an anxiety thread would make people who post under it anxious and we can't have that so, just choose a category the anxiety is in relations to and post under that category."
I mean really. Cut me a break.

I don't accept your reasons for not opening an anger category for us to post under. People get mad under other posts and I don't see anyone deleting those categories. Why is anger being treated like leparcy?
I need a site that accepts my anger and is interested in helping me deal with it straight on instead of hiding it in the folds of the site.
I don't mean to be disrespectful to anyone on PC, members, mods nor administration. I apologize if I have offended you. I'm really frustrated with this so my way expressing my exasperation on the subject may not have been well described but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say well enough not to be offended.
My anger may be a grade b or c subject to you but to me- it's ruining my life and I'm asking for help. Direct help from people who will deal with it head on without running away from it, treating it like it's a disease or just totally ignoring it like everyone else does to me. Could someone please just listen to me when I'm angry and just let me be angry?
