General Supporter Rage?

[Serasen]

Sometimes it feels like it's the only way I can vent my fury, those times when I just want to scream "NO MORE!" I have gone through my fair share of glasses too... love to slam those things down on the table (oops), and mostly when there is a breakage I am trying to control the anger, now thats scary. Much pent up rage.

I know the feeling. I always thought it was H that had the rage problem, but after staying quiet while he yelled for so long and feeling like I could not defend myself verbally I am starting to deal with rage issues of my own. I just feel soooo angry all the time. I hate to admit but I lash out at others as well because of this. Fortunately it's at telemarketers and bill collectors here lately. :D

It's now to the point to where I just don't say anything to him at all when he's home or I wait till he leaves and throw stuff. I hate that about myself. I feel like I should be better than that. But what do you do?

I think I need help! I had a bit of a melt down last night and ended up shouting at Husband - I couldn't help it, it was as if a red mist had descended and I shouted, then I felt so awful that I spent most of the rest of the evening in floods of tears.

Yes, I've been angry as well

I go for a run. Really long ones. I do alot of letting go of my anger that way. Seriously, try a kick boxing class or a spin class and work some of the rage out. I do some imagery too when I'm in spin class. I imagine being in the tour de france and cycling away from him to the winning finish line. Or when I'm running I run really hard while I'm thinking of whatever it was that made me feel the rage. It helps with the rage, but anger still needs to be talked through and dealt with.

Seriously folks, PTSD is no excuse for abusive behaviour.

Amen and Alleluia, I LOVE this post. Right on Pale Warrior!
