Re: how long can i hold on?
Anger can be explosive, mines normally turned towards me. Still learning to direct anger at people that make me angry... I remember it used to be fun, that’s enough reason to go, right?

Re: how long can i hold on?
Sorry @Former-Member - missed seeing this reply. I try so hard not to direct anger at others and try not to turn it on myself as well, so it kind of bubbles and brews inside and feels like an explode/implode fight. When I have the energy and feel OK enough I like to burn it off with physical activity of some kind if I can, but I can't always get there.
Fun is a great reason to do things I think 🙂
I have a few things to organise for the week ahead. Grocery shopping, stuff for the kids etc. Other than that, not much for me.

Re: how long can i hold on?
Anger get be a nuclear disaster at times when I feel it. I have directed my anger at others prior and sometimes I still do but I have learnt anger just causes pain to others and hurts the ones you love...though most of the time the people that are angry are in pain and have unresolved issues like myself..... I understand that feeling of being numb. Emotions can be overwhelming.

Hi @Shaz in the mood of great, fantastic, let’s get drunk... using old coping styles is better than not coping? I think I have to change the title of my thread to ‘how long do I want to hang on’. I’m safe just going through the blender of numbness.

@Former-Member I hope you do end up enjoying your day out. Try to limit your drinking if you can to only a couple of drinks. Otherwise, from my personal experience, it's extremely hard to deal with your emotions when the alcohol starts to leave your system.
Please try not to take the anger out on you

Hello @Former-Member
Sorry about that, we had a training day yesterday but we are back to normal today.
Sometimes the chat is offline if the line is busy so you just need to keep trying, but if you call through to the Help Centre you should be fine, we are a small team so the line will sometimes be busy but you can leave a message and we will aim to return your call that day.
