Well, that's a victory, isn't it?

It's not an all-or-nothing proposition. Take credit for your victories, and be patient with your progress. The same as you would do if you had a child with the same challenges you have.

its a slow process. u need to undestand the impulse first. what causes it? then, through understanding, u gain control) ofc simply training urself to resist urges can work too, but with a limit ^^

Yeah, like sometimes I have to resist the urge to strangle certain kinds of people. I never went that far at least even though I've honestly wanted to. :lol:

Actually I think I'm pretty weak for a guy. I have no muscle tone and I lose fights easily. :lol:

My doctor said I really do need to start building muscle...

maybe u really dont ^^ ofc i dont know, if those fights picked u or otherwise, but maybe, having an issue with impulse control, u really better off not being capable to overpower other ppl ^^ a safeguard when ur control fails... ya, it will be painful, but physical pain is often preferable to moral pain. its easier to cope with...

Yeah true. I would feel horrible if I ever really hurt somebody or worse. :( And I wouldn't survive in prison they would eat me alive.
