Someone brought up Anger Issues

Does anyone else have this problem? This is my post from another board (This content is for over 18): +++++++++++++++++first post++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ If you find out the secret let me know. I having bad anger issues. I everything from some guy honking his horn and I almost got out of my car and called him out, to almost b*tch slapping some little high school chick down the street trying to strong arm my daughters bike from her. I'm telling you watch out I'm loaded. Oh! I flipped off a lady off that cut me off from my exit yesterday. Of course she was going 45 in the slow lane so I try and pass her to make my exit and she speeds up so I can get back in the slow lane and starts flipping me off first. I swear if I wasn't late to pick up my kids I would have chased her down. Watch out the soccer mom on steroids! ++++++++++++++++++next post+++++++++++++++++++++ It is kind of funny but not so good for the kids. I do say "close your eyes kids" and then flip them off. The cute thing is they do. My husband was quick to point out all the crazy's in the world that will welcome trouble. But right now I'm like "bring it" Maybe I should start Karate to get some of this out. My husband does it. Though I'm afraid that they might put us together sparing and I will let out all my frustration. Can't you see it? "And that's for leaving the socks on the couch" Pow! "The mess in the bathroom" Smack! "and fishing"... KICK "and hunting" ...SMACK! "every" ...KICK "single" ...KICK "weekend"! ...body slam as he lay on the ground. Somethings should just remain held inside. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Anyway, I've made a joke of it but anyone else out there strung a little tight????? Heidi

Yep, just grounded my child and took her car, cell phone, TV, playstation, everything away till the end of summer because she didn't want to cut up her chicken! Ok, that's what started it, but what the hell? Ruin my spring break, summer vacation and every weekend in between over chicken? I think I need medication. I Am Stronger Than Myself Janice

I know it's not funny but I had to laugh just because it sounded so familiar. I knew I would have some people in the same boat if I posted here. Well lets hope that I don't get shot by a road rage incident and you, well... start serving ground turkey. Heidi

Hey Heidi! I love your comical approach to this issue, you are quite funny! I read your post last night and I have really been thinking about it and making a point to pay attention to my own emotions. I wonder if we are wound up or things come out in the form of anger because we have finally found our voice again?!?!?! I know there were many times in my former fat life that I would say or do nothing because I wanted to avoid the conflict or avoid being judged. I felt like anything I said or did could be attributed to the fact that I was the "fat girl." Things have changed drastically in the last year and I have a new found confidence. I am confident when I enter into a conflict that I will be able to convey my thoughts on an issue and not be judged. I feel like I can speak up more and not be judged. So where I am going with this is that on these issues with the road rage and the girl down the street with the bike etc---maybe you are just finding your voice again? And maybe by finding that voice, we have to work on how to convey our message other than in the form of anger? No judgements from me...just food for thought

That is interesting. I know in other areas for me this might be true. But around my family and people I know I've always been able to speak my mind. (I've always had over bloated self confidence even when I should have not ) I have talked with other people on different boards and they are expressing the same issue as you. They are tired of it and they are just not going to take it anymore. A little of that might be true for me, but I swear I just want to become the first 46 yo female fighter in UFC. Do women store testosterone in their fat???
