What Made You Angry Today?

[BlackbirdSinging]

It's another something stupid. I keep getting angry over stupid things lately. But I got angry when I got laughed at. If every little thing doesn't stop triggering my anger pretty soon I'm going to end up throwing things again.

Also it drives me nuts when people who don't understand PTSD try to tell me how to handle PTSD.

They mean well, (perhaps) you can always ask them were they did their specialisation in trauma? Oh you don't have a specialist degree in that, would you let someone operate on you that read a few things on the internet? I don't think so - now you know why I won't be following your suggestions.[DOUBLEPOST=1387265414][/DOUBLEPOST]I am not angry today.

@franciemarnie , that's awful about him falling and hurting himself. Well done on saying the truth but not going into rage mode (I'm inspired).

Snap @Ms Spock , I don't feel anger today either. It is a nice feeling. Maybe I confuse anger with generally being irritable or grumpy sometimes? Anger feels a lot deeper than general annoyance, and harder to know what to do with the anger when it's there. I will ponder that. I love this:

anger is a catalyst to initiate change.

The proper use of the adrenaline shot we get from anger is a catalyst to initiate change.

Anger as a catalyst for initiating change - tis awesome.

Like yesterday, I'm angry at just about everything again.

@Ms Spock - Where's the syringe? I want some of that change medicine!

 

[Madhather]

Angry at the memories that just keep on giving.

Coming here upon the forum, trying and failing to write a few accurate sentences which make much sense, has me angry at myself.

There is one small problem it is invisible so I can't locate it right now. But let me know if you find it!

I am angry at the struggle I have with my PTSD symptoms. It is really hard to change my thinking patterns.

That for 40 years, since the deaths of my friends, I have been holding inside of me the desire to die. As if living, after their deaths, was not fair of me. That I am still holding this guilt. It took me years to realize this, and a caring professional or two to point it out, but now that I understand it, why doesn't it go away?

Because realization doesn't initiate a change in behavior, actions do.
