Sexual Assault Rage

[LifeInterrupted]

Ever since I was attacked (in more ways than one) I have had a lot of problems with anger and rage. It seems that I can go from being irritated to wanting to beat someone into a coma in a split second if I feel threatened. My brain is able to function enough to remind me of that little consequence called jail/prison. Usually that's enough to stop me. But there were a few times that had I been able to get in close proximity to the persons who I felt threatened by, that logical thinking would have went right out the window. I wouldn't have given it a 2nd thought until after I was done.

I have experienced anger at people but not on this level and to this extreme for an extended amount of time. It is scary

I have been seeing my Psychiatrist and Therapist for 2 years now. Between experimenting with different medications and dosages, this part I finally have got pretty well in hand. And with my therapist we talk and come up with different exercises and ways to handle all of my issues which are no fun, believe me. The one thing I did that helped a lot to vent my anger was to write and write and write with legal pads and pens. I just felt better after I did it. It kind of let some of the air out of the balloon if you will.

Never in my life have I been in a fight. And I do not plan on it either. I will walk away first if I can. I have my anger under control for the most part, I think. It creeps up on me from time to time. I am only human. I really would not want to get into any altercations with anyone now, believe me. I think I have my anger under control. What if something were to happen and all of the anger and rage comes up all at one time. Nothing good would come from a situation like that. I think how we control our anger and rage is as different as the individual. I certainly wish you well.
