In reply to what to do? so angry, and it scares me **trigger?*, posted by sunnydays on January 2, 2007, at 22:28:35
> I'm so angry lately at everything about my family. The problem is, I still have about two weeks until I see my T, and I'm still at home having to deal with the actual people. What do I do with it? I was tearing paper up today, and my mother started criticizing me - it's hard for me to know what to do. Anger is such such such an unfamiliar feeling for me, and it scares me. I just don't know how to deal with it at all. I just want to hit myself over and over and over again. And then I feel like such a bad person for being so angry.

But I FINALLY sorta staring to beleive what my T has been teling me, in that the intense emots DO pass. They may come back all right, but that moment of intensity when you thinking to your self I gonna lose it...well, the intensity peaks, and then it goes down for a while...and you can breath again for a bit.
I think everybodys got their own thing that seems to work for them. I like visualization. going to my quiet cave inside, and there's just a shell left outside to do the basic functioning...
Mebbe a mantra of some sort that helps you....that you can reapeat to yourself over and over and over...
Just keeping away from the family as much as you can? Long walks etc?
Mebbe can you cut the visit a littl eshort?
If you having a real bad time, goto bed and say you got a real bad headache, and just daydream good things in bed or sleep.
Please don't hit yourself. I hurt myself too rather than hurt others....not the best solution really...
And I guess basic relaxation breathing stuff is good.
Family is hard.
Yeah, I see T on 9th.
Your T time will come. Closer all the time.
Take it easy as best you can,
Thinking of you,
Muffled
