Stuck At Full Throttle And Starting To Rattle Apart.

[Zipperhead]

I've been lashing out for abit now, and my wife is starting to grind her teeth. I need the anger to end, but new shit keeps broadsiding me. I can't seem to get it under control, or resist responding. I've already burned a few bridges, and I'm throwing petrol on others. Got to slow down. This needs to end.

Hang in, Zip! Man, I know the feeling. Makes you want to dive into the nearest bunker and sandbag the door closed! Any thing the P-Docs cab give you to take the edge off? PM me if I can help in any way.

I got 2 appointments this week. One with the shrink, one with the psycologist. I don't really know what to tell them, but my reality's got to change quick. I won't have any friends left this time next week if I can't get the hate to stop.

Hope you find a solution mate. I just hide in my man-cave.

It's a viscous cycle with no end and no solution for me. Margaret told me yesterday that I have been a mean and nasty person during the last couple of weeks, and as soon as someone tries to tell me something, I go on the defensive and tear their heads off. Maybe it's the moon Zip, affecting us all.

 

[Zipperhead]

I'd like to think that the issues are only perceived, and that the world around me is still good. But I keep finding offence. And unfortunately I keep acting on that offence. It would be fine if I could ignore it, but no. I see my shrink in 2 hrs. Wish me luck.

Let him have it, Zip! Sometimes these P-Docs will sit there and say, uh-huh, uh-huh, and then not do a damn thing. It's up to us to tell them that we've got big problems and we want them to do something about it! I've got an appt. with mine later this morning and we are going to solve my recent rage problems. Been getting unexplained anger spikes, which I can usually control but a couple of weeks ago, I called out a guy bigger than I, younger and that probably would have beaten the crap out of me.

But my old motor mouth was going a thousand miles an hour.

They get good money to treat us, we need to make sure they earn it!

Hey Zipperhead

Sorry for your situation. Hope it gets better for ya'. Anger and rage are still huge problems for me as well. I think the reason that I don't act out as much as I like is the fear of going to jail. That total loss of control is a big thing for me. Anyway, this isn't about me, hope you find your way to better solution for yourself.

Hey Zip,
Hang in there. Like the guys who posted before me, I have anger issues. But I'm a small person, a woman, I can't pick fights (which is probably a good thing) and I'm afraid of being beaten up (also a good thing) so I go running and take it out in the gym. It doesn't always work though.

 

[Zipperhead]

Well the doc upped the doses on my meds. He also said that it's normal to experience an increase in symptoms while doing therapy. He recommended that I try to increase the frequency of my visits to the Psycologist, to try to bash my way through this. Truth be known, I don't know if I'll have a life left after this is over if I don't stop throwing myself around. Alienating people all around me right now. Hope the drugs work.

Hey Zip,

Truth be told, if people truly care and love you they'll get over it. Gotta' get yourself to a good place before you can fix bridges.

You in the fight Zip. But the positive about this fight is you can control the speed of the battle and what you are using to fight it with.

Sorry no comfort there. Had a very raw week last week myself. What can you say? Forward march.

Zip -- just keep plodding forward -- one step after the other -- even if you have to be "mindless" while doing it. The black clouds will eventually blow over. A bit of patience is the key...
