I'm a threat to society

Post Reply New Topic

No matter how much I try, I can't seem to handle my anger right. I end up lashing out at other people who don't even deserve it. Today, I got violent toward my mom, and when I told my husband this, he merely shrugged it off as part of my intermittent explosive disorder.

I am no longer happy with myself. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to forget about it and let go. I am starting to consider anger management programs, even if I don't want to go. I feel this is my only option, because I don't like the person that I had become.

You are not a threat to society WC

Anger management program sounds like a good idea. It’s a great first step that you realize you need to do something, especially when you don’t want to do it!

if u are a threat to society, then i am an outright danger. or maybe u are someone who needs more care than they get? dunno about anger management, but when i am triggered, i get violent, and i get triggered quite often. and no amount of meditations can fix that. turns out, putting that fire out doesnt take much, just a conscious desire of somebody, to do so. and not by hitting me on the head xd MAYBE u are not feeling safe, secure? maybe u feel like u are in danger? maybe ur defensive mechanisms are flaring without ur understanding? this is not about subsiding. this is about understanding the chain from SEEMINGLY innocent stimulus, to violent reaction. it gets easier from there. when u know what makes u tick, u can tamper with it SAFELY. not just supressing it, rerouting, venting, whatever. just dont try to simply supress it, please. i know u feel shame for reaction, but it MIGHT have a serious reason u JUST DONT KNOW about. please consider this.

I don't think you're a threat or menace to society. But I do think you need to be in an anger management program. For your own wellbeing.
