I've always heard that anger management wasn't worth going to. Everyone I've talked to about it says that we get angry regardless of the situation, even if they aren't related. Almost a flashback in a sense. That you may drop something on the floor and get strike crazing mad not because you dropped it but because you suddenly remembered something someone said to you years earlier. I hope that makes sense. But I was always told that it's not so much learning to control your anger in situations but learning why you're angry and facing and dealing with those issues.

I personally am not big on the whole sit on a couch in a barely lit room and talk about everything that comes to mind. Sure it helps, but it's just not for me. I haven't found a counselor that I'm comfortable with yet.

Find what your comfortable with and go from there; even if it just means being alone with yourself for awhile. I keep a list every night--these are the things I did that I think I could have handled differently. I try really hard to think before I act and get better with it everyday. But there's usually a time or two that I'll act and then realize I shoulda acted differently. Might help you too. Just a thought.

Good luck and stay strong!!!

There comes a point in your life when you get tired of chasing everyone and trying to fix everything. It's not giving up. It's realizing you don't need certain people or the drama they bring.
