who here is lousy at dealing with anger?

^Yes, I think I might do the same.

^Well, it's mainly that all of my issues keep stacking on top of each other, so it's all happening at once. Plus, until recently, I was adamant about doing everything by myself and I kept refusing all help, but I'm trying to accept help when I need it. I made a rather large list about it, if you're interested.

I am not sure.... I have been told by others that I handle it very well. But they do not see the head banging that happens after the event. I tend to have serious rage at certain triggers and it feels like I am going ballistic with rage... but after the event and when I am feeling so horrid about it all and what I think I said or did I will try to find out how much damage I may have caused and am shocked when those around me tell me I was very calm about things and they did not even know I was mad. .....

Since I've been on meds my anger has been more controlled. I don't lash out now, as in screaming profanity, hitting myself and slamming and kicking doors.

However, I do inwardly get angry at little things when I'm out, like too much traffic, noisy motorcycles, noisy kids, people getting in my way, the bus being overcrowded, and cars pulling in or out of driveways as I am walking by or cars coming along when I'm walking along a quiet lane. I don't show anger, but I mutter under my breath. But it might be to do with anxiety I feel when in public places.

i never get "angry" in that i feel maliciously opposed to anything, but i do find that i have trouble moderating my sense of impatience.

last friday i said to a woman at the meat fridge after i had waited for her to make her choice for more than about 2 minutes "oh for gods sake just get out of the way!"
she looked like she thought i was going to attack her, and she stepped aside and i selected the meat i wanted and walked away.
i do not know what became of her in her travels, but i simply could not stand back and let her impede my progress past the limit of my patience.
yeah whatever.... blah

here in amuurica if I did that to anybody, i'd run the real risk of being shot.

you would hate me. i sometimes wander into the frozen seafood section simply to stare at their selection, in particular, to look at the fish right in their cold dead eyes, sometimes hoping to catch a faint movement. (there just is something about the eyes of fish that is completely off putting to me. could be that they look flattened)

i never have seen a movement. probably because they're totally gutted.

applies to meat markets as well, i find the beef tongue, the tripe and especially the chicken legs fascinating.

i have had beef tongue and i enjoy it, but i've never seen anyone take chicken feet off the shelf.

it's true.

I believe u.

^^Yeep. Dead things make me squeamish and extremely uncomfortable and extremely sad.
