My anger feels like the wind - sometimes it comes up suddenly, out of nowhere and when I do sense it, it is hot like a flame that lights up from my feet to my scalp. I have had a few incidences, luckily that didn't come to anything but some harsh words, out and about with the public where I have confronted someone, several times I have done this. I must get a handle on my impulsive behavior because I know in my heart it is wrong and I should let it go and walk away but I don't. I have sought every search engine for a therapist in my area to no avail but do have my psychiatric nurse I see regularly. I feel a prisoner in or out of my home. My mood come and go at whim. I am now to exercise each day and my medication has increased to help calm me. I have many hobby interests and I love to read but concentration fails me more often then not. I also finally told my Dr. the weird thoughts that plague me and found out I am psychotic. Great. Another label. Another scary, hard obstacle to overcome.

Good on tell your Doc... and no matter whether you tell something or are labelled or not, you are still you suffering the same things (words and labels don't change that in and of themselves.)

From my observation anger is at the root of many mental illnesses, though not necessarily the cause of it. Anger management is a wonderful skill. Ask your Doc or search online for tips to begin to understand and rid yourself of the anger.

here are some links to get you started: Search the Help Center

Psychologist Locator - Text Search Results

Thank you - I will check out anger management through the help center. I have been trying, unsuccessfully in trying to see a counselor/therapist - seems there are long waiting lists in my area. I am new to psych central so the arrow in the right direction was much needed and I will see what I can find out

Something I told another engineer once about obstacles ...

Obstacles can't stop you. They aren't a roadblock. There's just a little annoyance along along the way. You'll pop right over this one and just keep going.



(Also, it sounds like you're getting to the bottom of your problems. Once you know the cause, then you can find a solution!)

There are often places in communities that offer anger management classes which run 15-16 weeks to complete. Courts sometimes order it for people who have violent issues. I took anger management voluntarily because I came from a family with anger issues and realized I did not have good anger skills as a result of it and I didn't want to do something down the road that would get me having to take it involuntarily. It DOES help.

And if you are unable to get to a class, right away, and are delayed in therapy, finding some books about dealing with and expressing anger, are also good avenues. One of my favorite authors on the subject is, John Lee, but there are many others out there.

Thanks for this!
