Anger management

Anger management

Anyone had any success with counselling/books/philosophies to how to manage one's anger?
I am hurting my kids emotionally so much at the moment and hate it. I am so angry all the time, I feel like "why does everything have to be so hard? Why does nothing just work? " from a logical point of view and On paper, this is complete bullshit. Many many things are great and easy in my life, so why do things make me so so so angry?
Yes we have some difficulties and complications in our family but compared to so many of you my life is easy street. I got so angry at my phone the other week I threw it onto the floor and smashed the screen. Stupid stupid stuff right? Even better I do this in front of my lovely impressionable children who are currently quite frightened of mummy. And learning brilliant ways to handle their emotions... Not.
Shit shit. Hate everything and everyone emotionally but don't really logically.

Hi All,

Just a friendly reminder that this week’s Topic Tuesday is all about anger! @kristin, @Alessandra1992,@Former-Member, @Uggbootdiva, @PeppiPatty, @ivana maybe this would be a good space to share some of your thoughts and experiences of dealing with anger. @Former-Member will be unpacking anger to help us learn some strategies and gain some insights to manage this challenging emotion. We'll cover what causes anger, ways to prevent anger by identifying triggers, and discuss ways you can better manage it. We encourage you to get involved!

All the best

supernova.

Re: Anger management

dEar All,

I wont be able to be here....me and hub. are going to visit former school friend in Bridgetown for a couple of days but Im so interested in what the topic is!

Can I bring in some pionters now??

1. I think in my journey.....my furious anger came out in little bursts over a few years and leaked out of my body slowly......

Does this make sense to others?
