Dealing with the monster within

Hi all, I have been reading through a lot of the threads relating to this subject and I have found that all the things that have been suggested I have spoken to people about before and have tried to make the conscious effort to do in times I start to feel anger or feelings of anxiety.

I aIways seem to loose sight of this when I am in a situation and my mouth and thoughts run away from me but always claim I am trying to make the situation better. This is effecting my relationship with loved ones.

Does anyone else find it very easy to loose their cool and even at times over something they're not entirely sure of?? After I have been in a situation that has turned sour due to my tone or behaviour I start to feel very low about that and find it hard to move on from it so it always appears I have no interest in moving past the situation in order to make it better.

I would greatly appreciate anyone sharing their story and if they do anything to help either being able to accept fault or letting go of a feeling that would usually not matter to others.

Thanks

Hi Kelly

Good to meet you and welcome to the forum. Sorry to hear you have been having problems with anger and anxiety I think the two are closely linked. I know that when I am feeling anxious I can become very angry quite quickly for no apparent reason and this anger has got me into all sorts of bother in the past, what I find really helps me is Mindfulness as that really helps you to relax I try and do at least 45min of Mindfulness meditation every morning and that seems to set me up for the day is this something you could try?

Keep posting we are here to support you.
