Hey there. I was wondering if anybody here
had any suggestions for some anger
management and/or general counseling at
low cost.
My problem is that I am easily irritated
and am all too happy to run away with it
and become angry. I do not become
physically violent, and never have, but
it's always a worry in the back of my mind
that it may devolve into that someday,
which scares me to death. I have been
known in fits of anger to say extremely
hurtful things which I would never say or
even think in a "sane" moment with the
express intent of hurting the other
person's feelings. I also am prone to
being angry and/or irritable for the
remainder of the day. Little things can
set me off, I don't like taking no for an
answer, and I have a hard time taking
criticism, even when it's constructive.
I work but am in debt and can't afford
much. I have heard of Lifeline and
Anglicare, which are church-based
initiatives. How might I get in contact
with a local chapter? Should I walk into
local churches and ask if they know
anybody? Who would I ask? The
priest/minister/preacher? What about other
avenues? Any help would be greatly
appreciated! Thank you!

You are asking for help before it gets out
of hand and I personally commend you for
that.
Let me say this, most counties in the
state you live in have very low cost (if
not free) mental health facilities. What I
would do is call you local Children and
Family Services and ask where there is one
close to you. You can then see a
pysciatrist and he then will send you to
anger managment classes. Soetimes, the doc
my opt to also put you on a medication
,once he/she has made the determination
how bad your anger is.
Congradulations! You have made the first
step toward recovery. Your asking for
help!
It is good that you are listening to
yourself and getting to the root before it
evolves into something worse. Agressive
behavior is nothing new in teen and adult
in todays world. Stress alone can have a
big role. Also family life. This is a fast
paste world we live in and sometimes hard
to contend with. Now for me, I am what
they call a "Passive Aggresive". I hold
things in untill I can not take anymore
and then I blow.
Go get some help. DO IT!

Thank you so much for your reply! I hadn't
even thought about state stuff, as the
state I'm in isn't big on this kind of
thing (which doesn't bother me too much -
keeps my taxes low! But that's another
story altogether). Anyway, I shall give
that a try. Thank you again!
