I hate the anger issues much more than sz
I know lots of ppl have anger issues but they don’t talk about it as its ashaming. I am not ashamed
I was once turned away from an anger management course for being too angry. Really. I did a LOT of therapy to get it down to a manageable level. I’ve gone from always being angry to occasionally experiencing it. No, I didn’t use any meds for it before you ask.

I used to insult members here and getting suspended, it stopped happening since I went from 3mg to 6mg risperidone. Also I don’t fight with my friends and family anymore
Anger is a complex thing. It’s a powerful emotion that can give the illusion of making us feel more in control of life. Society paints weakness and feeling vulnerable in a very bad light so we do get angry to appear strong.
I still sometimes get agitated while on meds, mostly because I’ve lost interest in my hobbies. But, without my meds, I’d be far more emotionally unstable, with a lot more rage.
Abilify dulls my emotions, so I don’t feel anger as intensely. But bad memories are still there and they need to be healed. Many people tried to make me feel powerless, and that’s the root cause of my anger.
I don’t know about you, but my anger is coming from ruminating on the past, because I don’t have enough things to do. I also don’t have enough good memories. I’m trying to figure out how to get more good things in my life.
@Aziz You mentioned that you struggle with perfectionism in another thread, I think? There’s a good book I have called “When Perfect isn’t Good Enough” by Martin M. Antony PhD and Richard P. Swinson. MD. I have the 2nd edition. It helped me a lot. Maybe you could get a hold of it?

Do you like reading? I found many self-help books were useful. I’m a much better person than I was ten years ago, and I think I’m not in a hospital because I read a lot of personal growth through books.

No not really, I used to read a novel but only read like a few pages a week, everything is boring to me
I’m struggling to keep my interest in things. Do you have depression too? Or just not interested in psychology?

You are not alone, Aziz…
I had big angers before the meds too, i have it even now still, but now i usually just keep it for myself…
Tbh, i just try to get rid of my worst feelings, but this doesnt mean, that i have no the right of my anger…
I plan to express it one day, i dont do it now just cause i still function too primarly, plus i get angry about nothing important, so this is not cool…
Well, i take my zyprexa but i still can boil from inside…
I have also irritability, not only anger… Tbh, i plan to fix all that with efforts now… Too few meds, i worsen in those, too many dont even help really…
Its possible to help your soul a bit i find…
Hugs

I feel like a bad person for having anger issues off meds and on lower dose meds. Also the hypersexuality. Why do I have these. I didn’t have them before stopping meds for 2yrs. I damaged my brain. I never done a crime even off meds but i fought verbally and physically with my brothers.
