Hi,
I use to come here under the name of Pickle or Jax.
I had serious anger issues back then and left because I felt people with anger issues weren't being recognized because we didn't have our own section.
It was explained to me that people with anger issues should post under the self-esteem section of the forums but I didn't feel like that really addressed the issues I was dealing with.
Anyway, long story short-I left and got some things sorted out. I'm not anywhere near as angry as I use to be. I've calmed down a lot and realize now what I've been doing wrong and how insensitive I could be with people without realizing it. It was apart of my anger issues.
I had basically forgotten about Psychcentral until I found this online game and I began thinking about everyone.
I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link but I'll try. Sorry if it's not allowed.
It's a game that involved stuffed animals going through psychiatric care in a mental facility. It's really cute and not scary at all. You play the stand in therapist who helps these patients while their doctor is away.
It's a german site so when you first log in you'll have to click on England's flag for english and then to play, you click the "Spiel" button. (Open) and the game begins.
I thought some members here would enjoy this. The stuffed animals are so cute.

Junerain, thank you.
I don't know exactly how it happened. I guess living life taught me what I needed to know. Losing my Mom has made me value people differently and getting myself into situations that could have been prevented if I had been calmer taught me my anger wasn't getting me anywhere.
I've accepted that I cannot change people's behavior by "teaching" them something that I thought they needed to learn. It was very arrogant of me.
I wasn't trying to be mean but it came out that way because I had to learn that people are truly fragile and words spoken/written have to be aware of that fact.
It was a learned behavior I developed trying to break out of deceits and lies I grew up with. It was my way of rebelling. I no longer need to rebel.

Welcome, FlamingJune. Anger, bitterness and resentment owned me for much of my life. I would go into a church and yell at God.

One of my therapists politely pointed out it was hard to listen when I was making so much noise all the time. My latest psychiatrist always gets a chuckle when I tell him my Mom tells me to shut up and listen when I go to see him.

Thank you for your words, FlamingJune.
