Somethings seriously wrong with me.. (Rage, I guess)

Hi, -------- The key to your problem is in your hands...... and only you have the key..... For some reason (I am afraid to write "stupid reason") you have that stigma thinking that going to a psychologist means you are crazy or nuts..... that's the way people were thinking some 50 or 100 years ago.... NOT ANY MORE..... A psychological treatment is considered just as any other therapy and it oes NOT mean that the person who gets psychological advise is crazy / nuts but a person nwho has a problem that needs attention...... and many many of us need that attention / advise. I read carefully your notes, and I have no doubts that you need such an advise urgently.... Take THE best psychologist and you'll have better life (you'll feel better, enjoy life more, function better at work and at your home / friends).... love yourself, love life and throw the anger and violence away..... It is pewrfectly OK to consult a psychologist !. Don't hesitate, pick the phone NOW ! for your better future !. ------ Best regards,

Hi DisplayName, There is no reason for anyone to know that you went to see a psychiatrist. Who is going to tell them? Not you. Not me. Sounds like you are having very bad pressure from anxiety coming out. That can give you bad anger, screaming fits, throwing, kicking things. There are some very good meds out now that can help you control that. Please go and see a psychiatrist today. He may prescribe some meds for you, and also recommend counselling with a good therapist. Sometimes talking about things with an unbiased person will do a world of good. Talk therapy can help you get over the reasons why you let your past problems get the best of you today. Please don't wait and suffer like this. Rose Red

Hey Dear,  Can you make an appointment with a doctor in the next town?  This won't go away on it's own.  You are going to need help to get through this, and over this.  Maybe this will help.  Search the web.  There are counsellors on the web who will give you some counselling by phone, or by email.  It is not free, of course.  Nothing seldom is.  But it might benefit you to at least try it once, and see how you feel then about seeing a doctor and a counsellor in your own town.  Keep us posted.  We care!

Hello, Display,

  You have gotten some fine answers here.

   Rose Red's idea for you  to find a psychotherapist that would do sessions with you over the phone is a sound one.  Going to a psychiatrist, at least here in the US, is done mostly for the purpose of diagnosis and getting medication prescribed. 

   As my friend, OronD said, going to therapy does not mean you are crazy.  Life changes constantly, and there are many reasons that seeing a therapist is a helpful thing to do.  The stigma that OronD mentions is not so evident now because many of us are willing to look at ourselves in an introspective way.   What we know now is that going to see a therapist is something that can improve your life.  Your anger seems to be causing not only you problems, but others as well.  Why continue to live with it when you don't have to?

   Going and talking about it, is not living in the past.  You are experiencing the problem in the here and now... and most probably will continue to experience this without intervention. 

    There is a certain amount of machismo in your post (I am saying this will all due respect).  Please think about the fact that true bravery sometimes means facing things within ourselves that are painful or scary.

     Best Wishes,

Listen, you are not nuts. To go see a psychiatrist one doesn't need to be crazy. It's actually the other way around. Really insane people don't know they're not well so they don't go to a psychiatrist. Sometimes people see a psychiatrist just cos they need to talk to someone.

If you don't want others to know u going to see a psychiatrist, just don't tell them.

Maybe u have Anger Management or Frustration or since you mentioned "going through hell" you may have PTSD.

It's nothing irreparable. Hang in there!

Hi Display Name, Can you get your hands on a few good books about anger?  Can you write your feelings out on paper?  These two techniques can be immensely helpful.  One book I was prescribed was titled: The Dance of Anger.  It makes your problem seem "normal" and manageable until you can get to see a therapist.  Best of Luck to you.  NJoy
