What Made You Angry Today?

[Karen12]

I knocked a box over twice in the tiny little passageway to the bathroom. I didn't realize I was doing it until it fell over the second time. Both times it went BAM!!! into the wall right behind me, triggering me. Out came the tears. It made me so mad because I had to get ready to go to the bank and this was taking up all the time I had to get ready.

The second time it happened, I realized I was making it fall over (there's so much crap here things are always falling over but I had brushed against it) so I moved it to another part of the room. Then while I was in the bathroom it fell over again, knocking over the humidifier that was a little ways away from it. The humidifier was half full of water and it dumped that out all over the rug. I didn't find it until I came back out of the bathroom and it had all sunk into the carpet and carpet pad underneath, also soaking a different cardboard box right next to it.

It's completely irrational but I felt like that first box had gotten its revenge on me for moving it or something. Pissed me off no end. I still have a fan going on that spot trying to get it to dry out.

That some little details still drag up so much. Stay down, parallel thoughts. Stay *down*.

I am so angry that I have so much more to do in order to heal and manage my symptoms. I have tried really, really hard. And I am still having a struggle with it all.

I got in a fight with a friend yesterday. Today I read her message back to me and it was all about her, how I have been to her, how she has been the better friend, etc. This all over my just asking her if she respected me. I told her way to make it all about her. I don't understand my asking that should cause such a big commotion. She hasn't responded. Let her cool her heels.

I feel angry at my lack of assertiveness!

A certain call, that person again missed the memo. I'm making a mental cup for all of this insignificant, feels threatening and isn't, crap and sticking all of it there.

I'm angry that my son seems hell bent on making this bout with my ulcers the worst yet. I've already had to freaking ground him for rudeness to his sister and me and it's only 10am. :( *sigh* It's one of those run away and join the circus days...at least i'm bendy. lol.

I'm with you there @Ms Spock When I feel the need to be assertive, and it is usually to assertive so I am not assertive. My therapist gave me a sheet that says how to take power positively and how to take power negatively. I don't remember what they are off the top of my head. It might be a good piece of paper to keep close to refer to.

Well, I needed to come back here and express more anger over what I found out today when I went back to the dentist.

It seems that the reason why I have been in pain since she filled the cavity almost a month ago, is because the tooth is cracked. She gave me the option of having a root canal or pulling the tooth.

Since I cannot afford the root canal, I have an appointment tomorrow to have the tooth pulled. So, it will be a pretty expensive tooth, which I will no longer have.

What got me was them trying to figure out that the tooth was cracked. They sprayed some cold stuff on it, and it was unbearable. Yes, there was something definitely wrong with it.

She could tell I was anxious so she gave me some pain pills to take now and afterwards.

 

[holdenmonty]

In my personal opinion @Let It Be if they are the ones that cracked your tooth while filling the cavity then they should be the ones to cover the cost of getting it pulled.

@holdenmonty - thanks for saying that as I so agree with you, that's why I had to come back here to this thread to say what I did.

She didn't charge me for today's visit, and she better not have. I noticed how she had to tell me over and over about the condition of the tooth when she filled it last month. I knew what she was doing and I also made it clear to her about my finances.

Oh well, I hope tomorrow goes okay for me.

So here is what is making me angry today. Last night before I left work my supervisor asked a simple question about how much our refund is going to be so I told her. We have been struggling a little finally but are on the right track again. So she starts "asking" me about how we are going to spend our refund which is more like she's trying to tell me how my wife and I need to spend our refund money which in my opinion is none of her damn business but that's besides the point. When I attempted to explain to her how my wife and I have talked about it and how we have a plan she kept talking over me on how she would spend our refund money which to me is extremely disrespectful and I would get in trouble if I tried to talk over her... This is one of the times I feel the need to be assertive and tell her to f off snd that it is none of her business and to get her nose out of it before I punch her in the nose, but that is to assertive and it has kept me up half the night calming myself down. I think I'm going to explain to her how we have it written down and know how we ate going to spend our refund money and I appreciate her input but my wife and I have already come to an agreement on how to spend our refund money
