• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I get in verbal fights constantly with managers/ instructors. I can't find a balance between standing firm and just running my mouth when I should keep it shut. I mean I have to have self control if I managed to work in call centers for over a year and hold my tongue for the most part. If I can do that why do I constantly blow up when someone says the wrong thing to me?

I went off on an instructor today infront of my whole class. I've done this before with 3 different pharmacists at jobs that I've had in the past. And I've gone off on my sister before and broke my phone in anger. How do I learn to not do this regardless of what other people say or do to me? It shouldn't make me so angry that I lose my cool.

The solution to this is to contemplate everything in your life that makes you resentful. You can go back as far as childhood or specifically your work situation. If you do start with your current situation you will see that it runs much deeper than just your boss and the discoveries will allow you to integrate your anger in a way such that you won't be resentful anymore. You'll be able to have someone be aggressive with you and instead of feeling that intense anger and suppressing it, you will be able to actually speak up and say what you say in a way that is socially acceptable.

Generally you will feel a lot of the anger you've been suppressing rise to the surface and this could frighten you, however just acknowledge the anger's existence and realize that you can experience anger and you don't die or harm yourself or anyone else. You might go through a phase during this process where you seem mean and snappy but you will eventually be able to go from passive to aggressive to assertive. Best of luck. You can do this.

A woman ..grand mother.. that prayed 4+hours a day. With things just like this.. and then with SO many things I would WORRY about.. would say "no one.. nothing controls you". Yes the body the mind get sick ..yet CHRIST is if in our life.. can fix heal do everything. We have no excesses. FAITH!

I dont share this but.. when me and my wife were young not married.. we were mean to each other. She did many things..but.. sitting in the car tears running down her face said "if you love me you would never do that". In that.. I knew she was right.. if she never changed.. it didnt matter. I tell all this because.. it seemed I didnt know ..no CLUE how to change.. but from my HEART I asked my friend.. my best friend.. my brother.. my savior.. my GOD "please.. change me".

I can REALLY get mad at my kids.. others.. but.. with my wife? I cant explaine it.. not soon after that moment.. every time.. EVERY TIME we had a fight.. I could not get mad.. it just left.. a peace.

So.. ask from your heart.. know that JESUS IS REAL. He is FOR YOU not against you. Does NOT EVER judge you..never condemns.. told you.. what EVER you ask the Father in my name.. His WILL is His word. The key to even just hearing from Him.. it to ALWAYS ask from your heart. He NEVER fails.. Try from your heart.. tell Him.. WHERE were you.. and then hold on.. He lets you know.. remember all the times.. HE WAS THERE and then says "WHEN did I EVER fail you"...

Point is.. He is ALWAYS with you.. use HIS strength.. use HIS armor.. use HIS peace.. even Jesus said.. my peace I give... FAITH. You will find.. from that moment on.. something in you changed.. something this FLESH always did.. just cant anymore.. He WANTS TO be apart of EVERYTHING in your life

I had this problem many times. Bad coworkers, job rules, supervisor, you name it. A medication caused it at one job and the side effects resauled in a 3-week suspension, nearly getting me fired. If this has never happened to you, praise the Lord.

I don't know why Psalm 23 is so famous, but we all "walk in the shadow of the valley of death" every day. Read all of it.

All day ive been replaying this in my head and ruminating. I wish I could see my.therapist but hes booked out for a month. I'm very angry still. And I hate school. I didn't get any of my work done just felt so upset amd down today and just tired.

I apologized to her but honestly i dont feel sorry. I am pretty sure I hate her for mocking me. If she says the wrong thing to me Again i might curse her out. It's morning and I still hate her.
