I believe it is possible to be stable even without Meds but it requires work in therapy. I'm not sure if you're already seeing a therapist right now but if you aren't perhaps you may consider it. The goal of therapy should be to give you the tools to work with yourself; Meds can help but they're not the only solution in my opinion. I hope you'll get better soon! Keep working on yourself like you're already WONDERFULLY doing. I also agree with Ezrigirl's wise advice. Perhaps you can try to buy a punching bag and use that to vent your anger. Perhaps you may even do some physical exercises. Just some ideas for you. You don't have to accept them. We ALL wish you plenty of peace and hope for you. Sending many safe, warm hugs to you, bluebicycle, and to ALL the people you Love and who TRULY Love you!   |
Thanks MickeyCheeky
I am in therapy, but nothing besides medication seems to help with the anger. I think of the anger as being on the same level as depression in the sense that I am angry for no reason, just like we can get depressed for no reason.
I would try a punching bag (I actually used to do boxing workouts in my local gym before I moved), but they'd make too much noise in my apartment, especially since I live on the 2nd floor. Now that I've moved, the new local gym (which is free at my apartment complex) wants to charge a $60 a month to use the punching bags because the punching bags are part of an "elite" membership only, and you can't even use them most of the time because apparently there are classes that use them.
So I'm stuck with weights and treadmills only. Not even exercise bikes or ellipticals because those are with the "elite" membership too.
