[QUOTE="Star*, post: 172503, member: 4964"] Steely, Since you dont' have a support group yet (other than us) Try this trick - Someone taught me years ago. Make a list - type it if you type faster than you write and especially if you have carpal tunnel. List ALL and EVERY thing that makes you mad in general Makes you mad about your parents Makes you mad about H. Makes you mad about your life. Makes you mad about yourself. Then print the lists out. Circle any that are doubled, tripled etc. Pick the top 5 things that you are angry about. That show up on seemingly every list. Take THAT list to your therapist and tell her that you want to work on 1,2,3,4,5......then cross them off your list if you can. If you can't change them or cross them off - ask her for a way you can try to deal with it yourself. Coping skills. Make another list about the lists that you are mad about making. Some times journaling is a very good release. Pounding emotions out on a keyboard is good. Print it- put it away - dont 'read it for a week or two then go back and read it. It's all I have to offer other than a cyber hug. Star [/QUOTE]
