I can’t cope

Hey @Former-Member

I become unsafe at work so I’m headed home. I feel out of control

@Captain24, it sounds like great self-awareness, but I'm sorry that you're feeling this way. I recently had a similar experience where I was really angry. It lasted for a long time and was awful.

Is there a strategy you can use to get the energy out and feel a bit better?

Let me know if you want to talk about some ideas ❤️

I don’t know what to do @Former-Member. I just feel all the rage inside and don’t know how to make it ease

aww mate, I'm so sorry @Captain24 ❤️

Would you be up for calling the drop-in line? They're open for a while longer and could walk you through some strategies?

Otherwise here are some strategies from this webpage

• Progressive muscle relaxation
• Deep breathes
• Talk out or journal about your anger to find where it comes from or the underlying emotion. But also add a way to change that circumstance (if you can)
• Do a bit of exercise (maybe an exercise video online)
• Focus on the facts of the situation
• Distract yourself with a different activity (do you have any diamond paintings?)

Hey @Captain24 Hearing you about how hard it can be to manage anger at times.

Had a flare up myself and "recovered" in an almost surreal calm way.

Just now thinking that a lady I knew who worked for the diocese said I would never get over it. Hmmm.

What to do with a legit sense of outrage? There are all the strategies in the world. You really are trying to do the right thing. Not sure whats behind it, but glad you have someone to work with it therapuetically. Thinking of you too.

Thank you @Former-Member I’ll give them a go and see if I can ease it a little.

@Captain24 ❤️ Like @Appleblossom said, it can be really difficult to manage feelings of anger. Just like a lot of other big feelings.

I'd love to hear if you figure out the underlying emotion or cause or if any of these things helped. in any case, I hope the intensity eases.

I'll be around tomorrow, and logging out for the night ❤️

I’m still really agitated but not as angry. Today is still a struggle though with absolutely no motivation.

I just can’t face today anymore. I’m going back to bed and hopefully start over in a better state of mind.
