I went through pretty much the same thing twice. First thing you need to do is get a job of some kind. It doesn't matter if you like the job or not. The pay does not matter that much. With a job your...
My story. I am older than most of the people posting on this subject. I am 65. I was raised in a small country town. When I was 19 I joined the army. Something changed in those 3 years. My opinion is...
Andrina, being alone is not the worst thing in the world. Being with someone who does not really want to be with you can be much worse. Sounds like you and the husband needs to have a good talk....
I know how you feel. I felt the same way for a long time. Many times I let my anger take over my life. I tried medication but what the doctors gave me did not work. They actually made things worse. I...
If your family is the problem get away from your family. Sometimes people do not think of the simple answer to their problem. If your family makes you want to die there is no reason to stay around...
Hope everyone has a good day. Something has to be wrong with me. I just keep feeling better. Guess the poor job done by the VA is actually helping me. If they would have been doing their job I would...
Everyone grows up. It is all part of life. Some grow up at a different rate than others. The majority of girls will be attracted to boys at some time. Seems like it gets earlier all of the time. She...
Andy, I took nortriptyline about 25 years ago. It worked very well then but I have been told by different doctors that wasn't being used because of its failure rate....
If the meds work until there is a blow you should avoid putting yourself into such a situation. If you can't handle a situation even with meds try not to get into those situations. Sometimes that may...
Pitmom, I know what you feel. It really bothers me when people in a position to help others don't seem to want to do their job. It seems like it would be a lot easier and better for everyone if those...
Karen, just from my experiences I have found that I do not get as angry if I try to handle it when it happens. I may get angry but it keeps it from building up and is a lot easier to handle. I find...
Thanks Karen, I am learning to control my temper. I no longer hold it in until it explodes. I don't get mad at the world. My anger, what I have left, is directed at the cause of my anger. I try to...
Just some info for those who suggested that I see someone about my anger problems. I have seen quite a few people. I was taking medication but was forced to go through withdrawal 3 times due to...
Sometimes two people are just not meant to be together. If them being together makes it worse on them and everyone around them it is time to call it quits. No reason both of you should suffer....
I have been doing good. Have been reading all of the posts and even tried to post on a few. I decided not to post for some reason. Can't figure that one out. Finally over my withdrawal from the meds...
I don't know what you are feeling guilt from and it isn't any of my business. I don't think you have done anything that hasn't been done before. People make mistakes. That is how they learn. Some...
One thing I have learned about politics during my life. There isn't any difference in the political parties. They are all politicians. They are all voted into office for their ability to lie. Sadly...
I definitely thought about it. I fell deeply in love with a 6th grader. Destroyed my grade average. She was such a tease....
When I was 14 I was in the eighth grade. Not a single girl in my grade, there were only 4 boys in the 8th grade. In the 7th grade there were 2 girls, one my sister. I didn't have any choice other...
Probably not what you want to hear but why the rush to be in a relationship?...
Good morning. So far I am doing good. Still early though. Not mad at anyone yet so that is an improvement....
I have a few pets. One is a very large lizard. Very easy to take care of. She doesn't show a lot of emotion but will set and listen to you all day long. Sometimes that comes in real handy....
Sometimes what we want is not what we need. Being alone for a while will give you a chance to think things through with out being distracted. Finish one relationship before starting another....
Sawina, I can understand how certain times of the year can be real bad. My bad time is just starting. The holidays season is real hard. Seems like all of the bad things in my life have a way of...
Getting by, I have had a couple of fox as pets. The last was a silver fox. Las December I released him into the wild. He would go for a few days and come back. This went on for a while then a...
Glad that works for you Andy. How about the very young children that suffer greatly then die. There are just too many bad things that happen to good people and too many good things that happen to bad...
Turtle, hope your day improves....
I have always wondered why do religious people always praise their god for good things, things of beauty, and even nature but, for some reason, don't do the same for bad things, ugly things,...
I have stopped Zoloft 3 times cold turkey. Not by choice. The VA sends out medication when they decide to send it out. Going cold turkey once a year don't seem to bother them but they are not the one...
I was raised in a family that was in the front row of the church anytime the doors were opened. AS I got older I began to have questions about religion. I was told not to question religion. That was...
Thank you BnotAfraid, I will try the ice thing next time I feel anger taking control. I live close to Jackson. The crime rate is very high there and I do have to make a trip to the city every once in...
Good luck Turtle....
Valenh, Years ago I was in about the same place as you are today. My personality and the fact that I tend to speak up when I see something wrong did not help. What I did, it may not work for others,...
Thanks pitmom. I live in Mississippi. I will check to see if there is an organization in the state. e do have a VFW but they are not much use to the real vets. They have mostly been taken over by the...
Thank you to everyone who posted. After 3 years of being treated like scum it is very nice to hear from people who care. Most veterans are like me, they do not want anything extra. We just want what...
Thank you. I really don't see any possibility of fixing the VA. This is what one person said about the local VA. He was chief of ophthalmology there and worked there for 31 years. "VAMC has had a...
Congratulations....
I finally got in touch with the crisis line after trying for several days. Turns out they don't answer the phones. Sort of surprised me as I thought that was their job. The person I talked to was...
It does help just by letting others know what is happening. I have two strikes against me immediately. I live in Mississippi and I am a veteran. I have talked to every person in the VA administration...
I work continually around my home. That is about all that keeps me from exploding. I even called the Veterans Crisis Hotline. Didn't help as all I got was a recording. Tries the National Veterans...
At least I didn't harm anyone. Just waiting until the time I explode....
Thanks for the welcome. I am a veteran and go to the VA hospital. Where I live the people at the VA hospital would much rather all of the veterans die a quick death. Taking care of the veterans takes...
Anyone have any suggestions on how to control anger? Maybe one that does not include fire arms....
Any day I have that keeps me from being around people is a good one....
I lost the faith years ago. Never could understand how any god could allow people to suffer....
I need help for a very severe anger problem...
