Thanks for listening. I am pretty bad at managing anger. When I had arguments with my mom, I would burst out by screaming or throwing things onto walls. I have been able to control myself in front of the public, but distress can still cause me to be irrational.
I felt hurt emotionally for a recent incident. And the person kept saying how it is all my own fault and belittle my emotions. Maybe it is true that I am too sensitive, but I was feeling more distressful due to shame. And after crying for hours, I made the stupid move to message threats to the person who emotionally hurt me. At that time I was so distressed I feel I would really physically harm him. Although I cannot really harm him because I don't have the strength to do that.
Maybe I used threats to get attention. Maybe because I am not aware of other ways to make myself feel less hurt. I mostly take the high road in arguments, but this time the hurting is bad...What are some ways you guys use to cope with distress?

I know I am responsible for my own sensitivity. It is difficult to accept when someone I value points it out to me and belittles me

I think it takes time and learning skills. That's why I see a t. He gives me constructive ideas on how to handle things better then it's a matter practice.

You reached your breaking point with that bully. You had enough. Next time face up to him in person and voice your feelings. Do not let it cook to the point of sending threatening messages.
Thanks for this!
