Sexual Assault Processing Anger

[jadebear]

Feel better now Darkness Shines? LOL.....I'm not even gonna waste my time disputing this with you. I guess we definitely have a difference of opinion....

I won't get involved in personal disputes. Except to say that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, and is entitled to air their own opinion. If this discussion becomes personal and attacking, then posts will be deleted, and members may be filtered. Anyone is welcome to be here, stay here, or leave, providing they post within the rules. Personal choice, personal opinions, and healthy discusions - are all encouraged here.

Girls, you could both go back to your statements and try to process some of that anger you expressed - it really helps, you know? :)

I realized my statement could come off as patronising and I want to make sure it doesn't. It was not my intention. I really meant what I said: processing some of that anger is helpful. Your experiences are different and I think that is why you see things so differently, but bottom line is you were both hurt and carrying that hurt with you will only hurt you even more.
Take care.

Hi Nyx, I think you are incredibly brave to examine your anger like this and to try and handle everything that happened. It gives me hope, and for that I thank you.

Thank you, Felix, I'm glad it gives you hope. Those were hard days and I dealt with a lot of contradictory feelings, but it did also help me to see a bigger picture and understand myself a little better. It even helped me to change some of the things I was thinking and that were keeping me down.

I still have a lot of work to do, but at least I can concentrate on them better with some of the things out of the way...

I have read different articles on anger - including ones on PTSD forum - and have come to understand it's wa...

My son suffers from severe PTSD and his anger hurts him in so many ways because he overreacts and makes the situation worse but as his mother I am unable to get him calmed down to think more rationally. I understand your issue and my son has the same and has lost all trust in everyone including his psychologist. I wish there was an answer for you and him but I am at a loss to what that is. There is a PTSD clinic in Washinton DC. I want to get him in there because I
believe it will help but he argues with me everytime I mention it. So wish I could help both of you.
