Hit me with ANYTHING please that has helped you with being angry.
My anger is not ok and its not 'normal'
I have ruined furniture, I'm without a dining table + 8 chairs, holes in walls, chests of draws, dishes, ipads you name it. I could elaborate but probly best I don't.
I have seen psychologists, on antidepressant (have tried quite a few) and they honestly don't help. I can take an anit anxiety tablet but I don't like to feel sleepy especially when the kids are non stop.
I think i know what sets me off, but there must be more behind it for it to be so bad.
I'm at the end of the tether and I have said that so many times in lost count. Practicing Mindfullness, the deep breathing etc just doesnt work for me. I just can't sit down during the day to do a meditation app because I need a clean house before I could do something like that or maybe I just don't want to be still in my own head.
What can I do? I'm at the end of my tether, I have lost count how many times iv said that
I need help and don't know where or how
Sorry this was only going to be short but eh

Thank you
I have chatted/text with beyond blue and recently lifeline. To be honest I don't find it helpful. They repeat what I say - active listening, then ask/say something that feels useless to me and that's that. That's how it feels for me, I'm sure it has helped others.
Just feel so stuck, I have done a search on here for anger issues etc I will look at the one you mentioned in case I missed it
