I'm terribly sick of being upset all the time. I'm always in an argument and always dissatisfied with people. I do know how to cope, but I'm starting to lose my ways, y'know? I'm not strong enough. In fact, I'm so fed up.
I hurt and feel hurt. My head just can't take all this anger, and I'm wasting my time thinking about trying to feel better.
How do I feel better? I don't live mentally well, I guess.

Thank you. Have a fine day.

Do you think perhaps you're expecting too much of people, and they let you down?? Why not lower your expectations? Perhaps no one could live up to your expectations.

Sure you're strong enough. Just don't expect so much. How do you feel better?? Try to relax. Get some of those CD's that have nature sounds on them, i.e. ocean, rain forest, thunder, jungle, etc. These are the most relaxing CD's I've ever had in my life. They'll even put you to sleep.

Why not try saying the Serenity Prayer once in awhile? That is good for ALL things.
God, grant me the Serenity to Accept the Things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can
And the wisdom to know the difference.

That says it ALL for me. God bless. Hugs, Lee

You're welcome, opaque. Do you know what caused the anger way back when? Are you clear on what exactly triggers your anger now? Do you have a T to talk to? You say: "I'm wasting my time thinking about trying to feel better." Is that really a waste of time? A lot of people here would think that it's not at all a waste of time. How can anyone feel better unless they think about what's making them feel badly? I know that when one is doing it one's self it frequently feels like running around in circles. That's why T's are handy, at least for me. They help one sort out all the thoughts and emotions that frequently get all tangled up. Keep on posting and we'll see what we can do here. You're among friends here on PC. Take care.

Leed, thanks so much! I can become particularly picky, and my expectations can be demanding I suppose. Maybe I should use some more positive encouragement...and lower my expectations. You see, I think I lower them when I see other people working on projects, but when people work with me, I find he-- breaking loose possibly because of me. That's the big problem.
Also, lately, I think I've become judgemental and hasty. I need to re-evaluate my ways asap! Sorry if I digressed and sounded scattered a bit. I was thinking and typing all at once.

I bet I am! I'll try. I like keeping my high expectations, but I will try not to freak out on other people. That's the first step.
You know, I think it's time to invest in some of that music...

Ygrec23- I've been angry for quite some time, and I'm not going to trace back...though maybe I should? I am not clear on what triggers me exactly. Should I try to look back and try to avoid such anger coming out? Sorry to say this, but I tend to relish in the anger and the powerful, yet powerless feeling. I need to attack that emotion and control for sure.
Perhaps not, Ygrec. Maybe I should take the time to think about feeling better.
Ah, a T. Well, I do not wish to use my time to see a T as yet..
Thank you for your support, Ygrec, I'm glad I'm among friends.

I truly appreciate both responses!
