Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Need Help with Anger Management 101
I'm still having troubles wrapping my brain around the concept that anger is not an emotion, rather an action. Today for instance I was kneeling on the ground pulling some weeds in my flower bed and the dogs (we have 4 big dogs) were romping around playing. After about the third time of them bumping me and knocking me flat on my ass I became enraged / angry! I cursed them and sent them all back in the house. I was furious! So I tried asking myself "why do you feel angry?" And I guess it was because I couldn't play rough with them, chase them around, wrestle with them. I was having a pity party :angry-fla But why does it manifest as anger? It drives me nuts because I can go from being perfectly happy to super angry in what feels like 0.3 seconds!

After I cried and had my little pity party, I went back in the house and hugged all the dogs, told them I was sorry and cried some more. Thank goodness they have unconditional love, if I had kids they'd be screwed

How can you manage something that comes over you so fast?

So... at an emotional level, you felt frustrated maybe that the dogs kept bumping into you? Frustration is an emotional response, anger is the consequence to the emotion. The emotion can be resolved by acknowledging you felt frustrated, instead of resolving the emotion by becoming angry.
