If you could give us a little more information, what leads up to the anger, ect... this is a very broad subject and each of us handle situations different... thanks.

It can be stupid things like if I feel my partner is about to say something to put me down, someone adds to my stress, little things or when my head is going full speed... hope this helps a little more as I find it difficult to explain as PTSD is new to me

Thank you for trying to narrow it down... and welcome... sorry for what has brought you here, but very glad you found us...

And it is hard to express what is going on with us.. even years of practice and we still get stumped sometimes.... would you mind if I asked a few more questions, to narrow it down some...???? I don't want to put out things that having nothing to do with your situation.... and I do understand having trouble putting things into words..... I still do that.... just want to have a more clear idea... if you don't mind answering some questiosns,, I or others will be happy to help.... .

How long have you been in Therapy, are you on any meds? What type of Thereapy are you in...?? Were you not allowed to show anger as a child? When were you diagnosed and what led up to being diagnosed.... you don't have to go into detail... that can be very very uncomfortable... but hit in the high points , if you can...

I hope you are understanding I am not prying into your private life... but anger manifests in many ways for so many of us and for so many reasons or experiences.... it's not a 'one answer fits all' and have you spoken to your T about this?

Thanks for being open... this is hard to do, so I appreciate that you are willing....

No meds but I have a friend who works with people with PTSD she has helped me already understand a lot and I only recently diagnosed.

I was allowed to show anger just a lot has happened in my life and I'm always ready for a fight or argument like I'm always on edge.

Hope it's explained a little
