Routines / Anger.

Post Reply New Topic

Does anyone else totally lose it when their routines are disturbed? How do you manage the anger?

I just had my morning routine messed up by my housemate in this supported housing. I ended up kicking doors, screaming swear words and slamming things. I nearly punched the wall (ended up punching my pillow to save my knuckles) and nearly ended up smashing something. I was so angry. I've mostly calmed down now a bit after calling my occupational therapist and she went through my calming techniques with me, but I'm still shaking a bit.

I've hit people, broke things, hurt myself and got suspended / expelled from schools for things I've done during meltdowns.

How do I manage my immediate anger when my routine gets messed up? I just get so agitated, it feels like the whole world is coming to an end.
