Help With Anger Management - Please!!!!

[TeddySue]

And how blessed you are, "freakof nurture," to have a husband that gives you reassurance. Has this been a process with him, or is he naturally empathetic?

I am truly trying to "save myself" from this lifelong struggle.

My so-called parents are dead, and with them went any chance for them to ever accept that they were so terribly abusive and neglectful. ...sigh...

Both, I guess. He had a lot to learn, but the basic ability to build on.

You are very blessed freakofnurture. I had anger issues at the onset of ptsd. I usually no longer have that. But I need discouragement management, or collapse management. I rarely get really angry like I did, now I just collapse for a week and go to bed. Even about things that are not that bad. I blew a tire on the highway in the rain a couple days ago. I was stuck there for an hour thinking I was about to be hit by one of the semi's passing another at 70 mph. It made me realize why I just stay home and isolate. This sure isnt the old me. I have been having bodily reactions ever since. What I do get angry about is my lack of ability to control my bodily response, the lack of control over myself, knowing its out of proportion.

It robs me of my motivation further. My nerves feel raw and exposed. My body hurts all over. I got post menopause spotting, a cole sore in my nose, and I ache all over. It is so frustrating that I cant even stand myself.
