My Anger Workbook

  I think that an anger workbook is smart for one main reason, taking out your anger is best and not holding it in. For a long time I held on to my anger and it ate me up inside. I started writing down things that made me mad or what I was so upset over. I lost my old life and I had to start over as a single mom.  I blamed my ex and his girlfriends for everything until I started reading my past books. I learned that if I just let it go and stop punishing myself for everything that happened. I gave up on self help books and I started reading my bible more. It helped me to see were I had to change myself and live better. Thanks for reminding me about the books I still write things down and I  guess I always will. Happy New Year to you.

You are very smart to identify the problem and we willing to work on it. Well done! My partner has Bipolar and has had anger management problems in the past. He said he felt if he didn't express it he would get sick. His pdoc is teaching him to recognise and switch his moods and take responsibility for his anger. Brain scans show that activity in the brain can be changed from one area to another using these techniques. My partner used to blame everyone else for the way he was feeling.  Now he is able to take responsibility, he is  learning to control his anger. Good luck. Keep working on it. I'm proud of you! R
