Lately i've been so angry i've broken holes in walls, cursing at everyone, lying so i don't have to go out. My body aches and i feel angry and stressed to no point. I've been exercising my sleeping is normal again. I'm still doing the program on "expectations" even though its hard to concentrate or focus on reading.
Right now i am craving to smoke .. i can't get my hands on some cigarettes because i don't even go out.
I feel like i need relief bad... i'm so pissed off i could take a vicodin and get hooked on it again but for some reason when i'm pissed off i want a cigarette badly i quit smoking in 2008 now i'm seriously craving for one because i want to scream im so angry.


Its very hard to stop being angry and my body wants something but i don't know what is wrong with it i just have major cravings i eat fast and walk around fast all the time everything feels like i'm stressing bad i can't get relief at all. Does anyone know what to do for this or has ever been through it? I've been doing relaxation tapes but i still have alot of anger and i feel like i want a cigarette or drugs or anything to stop the cravings.

Hello girl
I am sorry you are so angry . I know something must be really bugging you. When I get that angry it's because I feel hurt or disappointed or rejected or devalued . Not all at the same time but those are themes to the things that anger me. Or injustice like when I see kids or animals or women abused. I get super angry.
So I would encourage you to journal what feeling is ticking you off the most , right when you are feeling it. Then you will start to see what comes out the most. Then say if it's like disrespected then you will be aware of it when it's happening and you can stop it or walk away or something like that.
Also I am curious about something. What do you like to do for fun? Do you paint or crochet or play guitar or write poetry? Sometimes having something creative to do helps you feel less stressed and more calm and relaxed.
I had guitar for 7-9th grade and learned alot of chords but forgot alot so I am thinking about looking for some online free lessons to get into . Anyway glad you came by to share what was on your mind.
Take care and I hope you have a good weekend
:D

Hi lostgirl :) :) :),
I am soooo sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling up too par!!! :( :( :(

I agree with Jill!!! I think you need to do some journalizing, so you can try and find out what is making you soooo angry and stressed all the time!!!

Anger usually hides fear!!! Try and figure out what you are soooo scared of!!!

Frustration usually happens, when we want life to be one way, and we do not see it going the way we think it should!!!

This is called "resistance"...The more we resist, the more frustrated and angry we will become!!!

Try your best to "accept" life, as it is right now and "not fight against it"...

There is a thread, which I began on this little forum called "Go With The Flow and Live a Happier Life!!!"

Here is the link to that thread... Go With The Flow!!!

I pray you get to feeling better very soon!!! Love Ya Dearly (((((((((((((lostgirl)))))))))!!!

And try to remember, nothing is "ever" as bad as it "seems"...

I'm trying to not be angry.. there is alot of things that make me angry but then again someitmes i get angry for no reason and i feel these cravings for cigarettes badly because i wan't one or something like alcohol to make me feel better or relieve stress since i can't get my damn xanax from stupid doctors! Its hard to go with the flow when like alot is going wrong.. and the only happy thing i like doing is dancing but sometimes my anxiety comes at night and i cna't sleep when i dance earlier for some reason.

Hello Girl,
I know you are trying to NOT be angry. That almost never works because you can't be in denial about what's bugging you ya know? But what you can do it rate the situation. Like say you spilled your glass of ice-water. That might be a 1 on a scale of 1-10. But if you spilled that same water on a vintage silk blouse from Asia? maybe it's a 10!! haha. See what I am saying? Then you can take the ones that are like 1-6 on the anger scale , or 1-5 and let them go as just "stuff happens", "it's no big deal" etc. Then the other stuff you can step away and focus on what emotion is jumping up and screaming out of you? Like is it sadness or disappointment or rejection or sometimes we just have Too High of expectations and no one not even we ourselves can live up to. We gotta give people some slack. I mean heck we are only human ya know? I joke with my husband sometimes that I don't know everything and I am not psychic. That I am psychic but only on Wednesdays at midnight and it last only 7 min. and that's if the moon is full. Yes I am being silly and sarcastic haha but you get what I am saying. I try to laugh off somethings, they just aren't worth getting mad over.
Can you get some herbal suppliments that are calming? Like St John Wart or something?
I think it's cool that you love to dance. Maybe you could crank up some 80's and make up some dance routines? or choreagraph some dramatic dance to some mellow songs? Dance is awesome :D.
Anyway keep on keeping on!
Jill~

I'm trying to not make a big deal about what mean things people say to me and just not get angry and forget it. I'm getting into religion more and more again as well hoping that praying will stop the anger.
