Why? Angry For No Reason At All....

[Rezdawg]

Lazy night at work last night(firehall) Got lots of good sleep. Today at work (mechanic) lazy lazy day. Bunch of no shows, helping put tire guys abit as I'm bored. Other guy called in sick. No problem. Lazy day anyways...

So why the f*ck am I'm so pissed off??!?!?!? Seriously want to just smash things for no reason. Tire kid said something smart(he ment to be funny) I f*cking trashed him(verbally) for no real reason. f*ck f*ck f*ck f*ck ass. f*ck. Pointless anger. Feels like shit. At least when its justfied I can take some satisfaction from it(or at least less guilt)

f*ck it.

Out.

Loud and Clear. That's the anger that I found the meds helped with. If someones being a dick, meds don't help. Maybe you were on edge because of the no-shows. Kind of disrespectful.

Hey Rez,

I figured out over the past year that (for me) there is no such thing as being angry for no reason. Usually if I look at the situation I can identify what is ticking me off. Having said that, I don't always feel like looking for the cause. Sometimes "angry for no reason" just fits my day and my mood.

 

[Rezdawg]

I'm really leary of meds. Don't even like motrin. He wasnt being a dick, he was trying to be funny and laugh with me. I applogized. Still pissy though....

No shows are great, paid to do nothing!

I've had all morning to sit and think why I'm pissed can't find a good one or a bad one either. Just want to do damage.

Actually Rez, in my opinion there may be a reason, but don't do your head in trying to figure it out.

If you have read through the 'Combat PTSD Cup' thread in the articles section, you will see that our stress cup fills up with good and bad stress and sometimes there is no room left so we hit overdrive.
And if you remember back to basic training, when you were tired, worn out, you had instructors yelling at you and your cup was brimming over the only way to push through was get angry.

There is something that causes it. It could be a matter of watching the news, getting some bills in, etc, etc, then you go somewhere and 'The Straw Broke The Camels Back' kicks in. Something trivial will set you off.

The best way to deal with this is to isolate and chill. I go to my 'Man Cave' and shut the doors, put the head phones on.

Try and use medication as a last resort.

Just my 10 cents worth.

 

[Rezdawg]

Agreed. Figured it out. Combo of the news( i avoid watching) And remembered Customer coming in whos a f*cking sociopath..... Seen the windshield guys put a new one in for him. He made them take it out again and replace clips cause they werent the same colour as the old ones. You cant see these clips unless you mash your face against the windshield and really look hard...... full blown f*cktard.... best way to deal with this one is to vapourise the truck.... dont think the boss will go for it though :(

Concur with the above, PLUS, you contained your anger, physically anyway and that's very important. I forget the exact number but a large number of Nam Vets wound up in prison with stiff sentences because they didn't contain their anger. We didn't know about channeling our anger in those days and far too many of us went off the deep end.

Good going!

Jimmy was right.... dont go down the rabbit hole looking for the cause of the anger... you might not like some of the things you find on the way down.. one day it will pop in your head and you will be like "ahhhhh"

Yes and that heavy bag in the garage is gonna wear it tonight or my brother in law if hes available to work out! This place is a great outlet. Wasnt sure if it was gonna be worth even getting involed in. Glad I did. Amazing to just vent and let go and have others as a sounding board!

Biggest problem I used to have in the workshop working with civvies, was just the mentality.

The guys who would call in sick because the sun is shining, the garge owner who was a complete dick who didn`t know his arse from his elbow and had never done an honest days work in his life.

Left me as the Master Mech, a another Ex Brit Blanket Stacker and a German Army Mech to cover the work. And god fornid people didn`t turn up, used to wind all 3 of us up.

None of us could sit around doing nothing. And being from Military backgrounds, when work was there you got it done. Instead of working slowly like the civvies we had, just to fill the day.

Just the low work level and standard of the others combined with their "Couldn`t give a f*ck" attitude, and the F*cktard boss, was enough to piss us three off.

We eventualy all left and the garage closed down 6 month later. I wonder why?

 

[Rezdawg]

That sucks! This is a good place, good work eithc and lots of little side crappy stuff to get done all the time too
