Don't know what is going on with me lately when I'm not triggered any little thing sets me off and I then I'm angry for a while, sometimes days.

I'm glad to be here, have been reading and can relate to many posts.

i've got some good sleep yesterday so my anger is so must better but i can't sleep tonight thank god i got my computer when i can't sleep it really helps. i belong to daily strength and have fun reading friends journals. i am new to this group but glad to find this site. i also belong to digg i love to give my opion on news items. that helps me with my anger if i keep busy. the doctor told me to keep busy. i have high blood pressur know he says lots of people get high blood pressure because of their ptsd and also because of my diebetis which is service connected. i tolk my blood pressure it is 130 over 110. my blood sugar reading 450. i am sure that is what is keeping me awake. the doctor told me to come down and take it easy i take a pill for my kidney which is also a blood pressure pill. i am trying to relax if my blood pressure don't go done i am suppose to call the rescue squad as with my blood pressure so high i am in danger of having a heart attack or a stroke. i am suppose to take my blood pressure ever hour well awake. i have a blood pressure montior that hookes up in texas and than the reading are sent to the desmoines va hospital. so long time anger can cause lots of health problems. so i am working on my anger problem.
 
My problem is always second guessing myself because of the ptsd when I get angry--to the point where I sometimes feel bad about being angry when I should be...angry.

I used to take klonopin and xanax thinking that it was helping, and maybe it did, to some degree. But the best for me is to remember how embarrassed I feel after one of my "losing it" episodes, trying to breathe (yes, I do have to actually remember to do that_ and just not react. I sometimes even succeed.
 
Wanted to add: I realized that I was addicted to the klonopin and xanax, which is why I stopped using them even though I want to. I've learned a lot about self-soothing because of necessity since quitting. Addiction is the last thing I need(ed)!
 
Hi Xmaxine,

I also forget to breath, lol. I've been prescribed Klonopin but things have to be really bad for me to take them because I am afraid of becoming dependent on them.

I was diagnosed with PTSD about 10 years. I am now starting to learn about it. Just found out about triggers a year ago... I still wonder why my therapist never told me...
