What Made You Angry Today?

[DMerish]

My (newish) boss - he's a jerk a lot of the time and it's not just me saying that. With PTSD it seems that the source of my troubles often begin with myself, so at first I thought it was me. Then asked a few co-workers that formally reported to him and they said, "Nope. It's not you, it's him."

Since he's my boss and I want to hold on to my job (until I find a better one), I'm watching my P's and Q's with him, but I'd like to play the part of a very passive agressive person, hehe. Maybe I can figure out a way to do that one one day, just one day, Halloween.

Other people made me angry. Then I was angry no one was listening. Now I'm angry at myself. I really do hate anger. I want to learn how to let things go, and not over-react to situations that would probably only be slightly annoying to others.

I almost had a huge outburst in a public place today, I actually wanted to scream with rage like a little child :mad:, so I'm at least congratulating myself that it could have been worse.

My internet stopping for seemingly no reason. Now it is slow.

The phrase "get over it" in the same sentence as the word rape. No matter how it's intended. Maybe I'm just being oversensitive but it just bothers me every time I hear it. Even if it's a person saying they "got over it" so it's possible for others to also. It just doesn't sound right to me.

@BlackbirdSinging very valid reaction! When I. was running from my past(in denial over how badly damaged I still was) I used to say that I was 'over it'...

 

[digger]

Me.

BB - For anyone to tell someone "get over it" indicates the person's severe lack of understanding and inability to empathize while serving a sarcastic put-down. No way are you being over sensitive (IMO).

My son staying home again. I don't know whether to believe he is sick or if he is just trying to avoid something at school.

I don't know if anger is the right choice. I do know I was very upset, somewhat shaken, when my sister posted a thing on my face book about spanking being no big deal and how she laughs at people who do not believe in it(I do not) because she was just fine doing the switch dance.

She knows something like that will upset me, yet she still posted it. Found out, happily, that face book lets you delete stuff that you don't like without(I'm assuming as I've heard nothing since I did it) telling the other person.

The library computer server, which for most of the past week, hasn't allowed me, to access the forum. As it gave me, a "trying to access the site" message, before handing up, on me. I miss everyone here.

Something that my son shared with me.

I was angry at me for letting the past get to me again.
