get angry, but no one knows - Anger Management Message Board

I get angry about a lot of stuff, but I don't tell people I just keep it to myself. Is that bad?

Yes, this is not healthy. You will need to learn how to express yourself and handle issues in a professional manner. We have to pick our battles. We can't let every little thing bother us - this can cause chaos which in turn can lead to making matters worse.

You have to work on understanding which issues make the difference. It's also a good idea to write things down and then throw it away - it's then somewhat out of your system.

Not angry anymore!!! I always wondered if I was the meanest person in the world. I could not control my tongue. Whatever I thought would just come out of my mouth. Then I heard this girl talking about her doctor putting her on a drug for anxiety. I went to my doctor and she put me on wellbutrin. It is an antidepressent. I never thought that an antidepressent would work because I wasn't sad or had the other symptoms of depression. However, I was on wellbutrin for 3 years. The first thing I noticed was that I could stop myself from saying nasty things. I didn't start arguments anymore. I thought this is great. It increased my sex drive a lot. Well, after 3 years it stopped working and I could tell that I needed something else. I'm now on Lexapro and I feel like anyone could spit on me and I would just turn my cheek. It's great to feel normal. I regret not finding it until 16 years of my marriage had gone by. We could have been having so much fun. Do something today. Call your doctor. It works.

keejan - just wondering if Lexapro would be right for myself. I've been on a combo of Effexor and Welbutrin for about 6 months. The Effexor is great for anxiety but made me gain weight and I lost the sex drive as well. The Welbutrin took the weight off, helped somewhat with the sex drive but I've been noticing that I've been irritable and jumpy at times. I figured I'd have to stop Welbutrin altogether and stay on Effexor. It would be really nice to be on one med like Lexapro and not two, for a change.

I also can't express my anger, in fact I become very friendly when i am angry. I always are in control of my feelings, i get cold when i'm angry.
I know my childhood hasn't been al that so this has afcourse effect on the way i handle my anger.

But the thing is i'm not really quickly in responding, somebody says something, i'm to stunned to say something or busy with something else, the moments get's away and then i'm back home and angry and insulted.

And when i am quickly i have to act my anger but i don't feel it unless i'm at home.

I don't think this is healthy, who know what to do?
