If a Dr reccomends it, I would def try and do what he says. I hope things get better, it will help you and your son.
Thanks for this. Talk Therapy, I will look into that. Thanks! Thank Wheels. But I want to make it clear to everyone, I never take out any of my anger on my son. He is the light of my life. He is the sunshine in my day. He is my bread and water. He is the only thing in life that I would die for. My anger doesn't effect my parenting, at least so far. I want to fix it before he gets older and to be a better man to my future wife.
I have no doubt that you never take out your anger on him. I can tell just from your posts that you love him very much. But him witnessing the anger, adn how you handle some things, could affect him in the future. Thats what I worry about more than you taking anything out on him. If the anger is something that can help to be lessened, it would be beneficial for the both of you.
Thanks! You have always been good to me. I was driving to my grandmothers house last weekend and thought of you when we passed Hood River!
haha well Hood River is pretty synonomous with Wheels, as there arent too many big time sports nuts (from a forums standpoint) so when you think Hood River think WHEELS. Where does your grandma live?
Walla Walla. She has lung cancer so I go there as much as I can with the kids so they can see their great grandmother and she can see them before the inevitable happens
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_disorder Unless you are doing crazy crazy shit, I wouldn't go on meds.
I don't think you're bi-polar, I think you may have anger management issues due to various stresses in your life. Find out what it is that is stressing or disappointing you and address it instead of suppressing it. I know some clinically bipolar people...and believe me, you don't need to ask to know if one is bi-polar.
I honestly don't think I am either, because I don't do crazy shit. I just get mad lol and I control my anger, I can turn it on or off. That is why I am so hesitant to go on meds like my doc says. My mother was on meds her entire life and she is so messed up right now.
edit, i have nothing to say to you max. leave me alone if you do not want to contribute to the thread. this is the type of shit i am trying to avoid. you are pushing my buttons and i do not want to retaliate. i will block you now.
Might I suggest seeing a psychologist instead of a standard therapist/counselor. I went through 13 therapists, one psychiatrist, and two psychologists from ages 12-17 and my second psychologist was the best I ever saw. Their variety of tests and methods also seem to be better at figuring out what triggers issues and why one may act the way they do. Every one of my therapists thought I was depressed because I didn't enjoy talking to people and tried putting me on medication, and all it made me feel was tired and not myself. My psychologist finally figured out I just have a personality disorder (that makes me not want to people all that much), and that the only reason I needed to be on any medication was to help anxiety - not for depression. He treated me like an adult in our sessions and didn't talk AT me or down to me, and was interested in helping me. So I suggest seeing a psychologist or two. Plus, ink blot tests are fun.
Thank you for contributing to the thread, even though I have been a jerk to you in the past. Thank you for giving your advice.
Ahh, this feels good! No anger, no sitting here getting pissed about whatever it is you wrote! No thinking about something mean to write to you! I love it! I actually have a big smile on my face right now!
