• 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 fear to post about this because I fear people wont understand. I sometimes have anger issues. but lately it's been really bad. And it's not fair.

Lately, I've been very angry. I don't know why.. There is no reason. I went on facebook this morning and started an argument with several long time friends, everyone who has crossed my path has been subject to my anger. It carried over into reality as well. I have some neighborhood teenagers that come to my home every single day, they want to play playstation all day long. And this gets on my nerves. I don't care to be nice to people. But I don't like being used as a place for local teens to hang out and play video games all day. . when they do that. I can not do the things with my day that I wish to do, They came by today. I made excuses. They left and came back. I made more excuses. They left and came back in total of five times. I met them at the door very angry and said. Can't you tell when someone want's you to go away?!

I've been so out of sorts and angry lately and it's not fair. This is not a choice that I make to act and feel this way.. I enjoy being nice to people and I don't feel people deserve my anger issues. I wish very much for these problems to just go away. But I wont go to doctors for it. they want to put me on medicines.. those medicines make me into a person that is not me. that also is not fair. I need help. But I will not take pills to fix this. That is unfair to me..


This just sucks :(

How long have you been a Christian? How are you doing with diet and exercise?

It depends on how you look at it, some people would say, I've only been a christian since I was baptized, at 18. Others would say I've been a christian since I accepted God at age four.

That sounds really convoluted to me. No one has always been a Christian. So maybe you want to start there and solidify your relationship with God through His Son Jesus Christ in repentance (if need be), by reading the gospel (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John), and talking with more mature Christians about where you're presently at in your faith walk.

Sometimes anger is a symptom of something deeper so I would say to not be afraid to talk with a professional if you need to. The reason I would recommend a professional is because of confidentiality. There may be some very deep things you need to share and those things need to remain private.

Some fruits of the Spirit are patience and long-suffering. This doesn't mean ,however, that you have to agree to being a door mat. It is your house and you have the right to tell these teenagers (in love, without allowing yourself to get angry) that you do need your space and they will have to go. Something that helps me when I start feeling like I'm going to "lose it" is to quickly identify the person(s) that my anger is directed towards and say a quick prayer, right there, in the moment. It can be something as simple as, "Praise the Lord!", "God help me!","Take my anger and use for something good!"etc. Praying for you today.
