Sleeping Demons

Post Reply New Topic

How many of us have a temper sitting waiting. That never shows until odd occasions then lets it self out and takes the owner by surprise.

The emotion of anger feels like a demon that takes you over and trys to tell you that it is the right thing to feel the emotion so intense it is hard to defuse. All my life I have had to struggle againest this emotion. Among others or though this is the most dangerous of emotions. I do not consider my self dangerous its just annoying to be at the mercy of emotions almost and having to fight againest some thing so strong where as in every day life you have to meet nothing close to it. Infact most of the time I dont feel any thing.

My anger links to my pride and fools my by using my own pride againest me which is even harder to fight. Oh how this wakes me up to the fact I am nothing more than a disfuntional human animal living out a meger and short insignificant life in this space of time.

I guess im kinda inplusive im not sure if thats a aspie trate or not but yeah thats what I am.

Lets see what others think about out of control emotions or maybe anger.

Any one else think that bad childhoods can have any thing to do with violence.
Also does a bad childhood wreak a individual. It seems to me like most people give up on adults with problems as if they have to all be solved while the person is a kid. So for older people with problems are we not worth any thing? Are we just scum that should be thankful we got given a life? There are to many people in the world. We can't all be special but we could all be part of the human virus.

Ok not sure how I am sounding I don't reread my posts. I was pissed off when i wrote this.

Plus im seriously craving Coca-Cola. I am badly addicted and I ran out of money and i have to make it some time til payday. Soooo want some Coca-Cola.

This reminds me of the topic I started in the Haven called Have You Ever Felt Like This Before? I think a little bit of resentment and frustration is common for us since we're left out of so many of the essential aspects of human socializing. Good luck making it through a challenging time.

I'm working on acquiring humility and ridding myself of pride. It's nice for people who are naturally humble, but I find I have to work at it. You're right about anger being largely the result of one's pride being hurt. So to me, pride is a weakness and I need to be rid of it

Coca Cola, mmmm very addictive stuff, I buy cases (a box) of it at the supermarket, that way I never run out!

I used to have aproblem with my anger as a kid but i've worked for ages to try and deal and control it, there was a site i found with some good advice for anger: http://www.tameyourbrain.com/anger.htm , some of the stuff on that site is marginally useless but this one i found very helpful.

As for coca cola, i used to be an addict, i gave the stuff up 2 months ago because it was doing me more harm then good and i haven't any since

Yes, I can certainly relate to this as I'm usually fairly placid but there are a few triggers that can cause a sudden flare up. Plus, if I get depressed, which I do at intervals all the demons that were safely tucked away rear their ugly heads again.

A hurt to the pride is one thing that will cause me to lose my temper but I think you have to have some pride or people will just exploit you. It's just that it can be a fine balance between having a healthy self esteem (hard for us due to the various rejections and hurts that come as part of being different from the norm) and having too much pride.
