Pulled From Anger Management Group This Evening

[thomas.robinson.54966]

So I went to anger management tonight. The monster was out. Got tired of people whining and all of that crap. One guy even said I was a CSM I said I don't give a shit we have no rank as civilians. We are here to get fixed. I also said I don't care if you were in it a Afghanistan s instant Kosovo Vietnam or Korea our main goal is to stop the anger This is not a duck measuring contest this is time to help each other fix ourselves that was when I was pulled by the facilitator and asked what my problem was. I told him anger and PTSD

Maybe it needed to be said. I try to be as relaxed as possible in the group therapy. Unfortunately my seat has my back towards the door so I think that makes it harder for me. Nobody likes a pissing contest. The next meeting you have I bet will be different.

Ah well......Choke em if they can't take a f*ck.

Better luck next time. I'm still so pissed off at my therapist I have yet to to see her again.

These things happen. Actually can't believe the facilitator asked you what your problem is. In an anger management course that's a pretty dumb question.

thomas, been there and done that. Got pissed, told them I'm a Nam vet, lets see, I have been shot by AK47's, SKS's, 51cals, RPG's, 82 morters (can't remember the small ones) 122mm rockets and lets not forget M14's, AR15s/M16 and all the beltfed shit and a lot of old off the wall shit as well!!! So asshole, what did you get shot at with in your WAR??? All the same shit???

Combat is combat, some with a different name. If you can't get over your f*cking self, we can go out back and I will show my anger management. :D:D:D

At least it happened in anger mgmt...good for you Thomas for telling it like is it.

And that's the problem with groups. They turn into pissing contests about whose PTSD is the worst.

A good moderator knows how to stomp that shit out when it first crops up, otherwise someone else usually does (like you).

 

[Sarg]

Mine is falling apart. We had a guy shoot his mouth off and outed himself as a phony. One of our most respected members quit with outrage. A fellow kept shooting his mouth off about what was said in the group and got banned. Well, he's a big wig with the VFW, so he took 6-8 members with him. Well, now we have three sufferers and a phony.

If this keeps up, the group will fold and I'll have to drive for an hour to get to the other group. Sucks!

There was one specifically for female vets back when I lived in the NYC area. I lasted two sessions. I hate the tough girl act, and there was so damn much of it going on. I get why women put it on during their time spent in the military and keep it up afterwards (to keep people at arm's length), but I think it grinds my gears because I was always so bad at it. I overcompensated by just acting really, really annoying and stupid towards people I didn't want to or have to deal with. It works out just as well to keep everyone at bay and it's a lot more fun to do than the tough girl act.

Perhaps they're putting on false personna because they are afraid. There are things worse than combat, like talking about it. Not sassing you, just an idea.

Yeah. That's why it's an act. I just kept my mouth shut through both sessions, rather than join in with their act. We all put on acts. Just my approach happens to be a lot different than theirs.
