Anger management

Ha Ha! you should see the state of the toolbox!

It's self sabotage I reckon - I know it'll happen and when it does it annoys me but i'm just a lazy so and so

Its amazing what people say in here. Awesome at times!...I'm thinking Fairyfeet in particular. I have none of these empathy skills at all. Its something I accept but leaves me slightly sad, but like I say in some awe!! I hope Mr B gets some direction from it. The only way I come close to empathising is with my mild 'road rage'! Which to some degree I've cured by calming my own driving down, driving slower, not overtaking unnecassarily i.e. when there is a queue which I won't get to the front of before my turn off or journey end etc, allowing others to get on with their own 'stupidity'! I still lose my rag, but not nearly as often...the red mist clears much quicker these days.

Good luck with it all Mr B.

My Chiropractor (who specialises in more than Chiro) did some funny behaviour therapy on me a year or so ago and it had an effect on me, tonight though i realised the Jedi mind tricks have definitely worn off. It started with such a simple operation- reinstalling the micro SD card into the slot in my spy camera, but i went and shoved it through the cover plate catch hole and it went into the bowells of the camera. You can't have a conductive foreign body rattling around inside on the PCBs or it will blow. I could never have guessed how it actually came to pieces and it just resisted persistently, i had to prise the thing open with a screwdriver and now it's mended but in a right state. Every time i look at it i get this feeling of having to contain an explosion of rage and i know that it is scarred forver. It cost 200 quid. I keep trying to tell myself i only did the best i could but the self-loathing is utterly comsuming, i'm drowning in hatred and anger and my wrist hurts now from hitting things.

I recently discovered i may have inherited this irrational explosive anger problem from my dad, i'm going to try another round of Jedi mind tricks i think, like Daz said i need to close the gap between the dick i am and the person i'd like to be and Simon's tricks seemed to work.
