Quote From: yesyoucanYou have a handle on where you learned pressure release via angry outbursts from your dad. Yet, you've seen didn't work for him because hurt you and you aren't your dad... you are you. Nonetheless, have that tendency to consider from seeing your dad in action.
There is such a thing as scream therapy and other positive ways of releasing the pressure of stress. Walks. Some go into closet so neighbors don't dial 911 if think you are in distress instead of releasing distress. Others go t sporting events where yelling is normal or turn on a sporting event on TV.
There use to be a therapy where couples used foam bats to express aggravation with one another. Not sure if still used and not sure if a good idea. Heard about YEARS ago and not much since. I knew a man prone to violence and softball was a release for him. Tennis is good. Dr. Phil refers to tennis as almost therapeutic and a must do on his schedule.
Some tennis courts have a backboard that you can just hit a tennis ball up against and Parks and Recreation Centers have lots of activities. Well, you bowl don't you. I "think" it was you who listed on your profile you bowl. I think our member Corrine bowls too... or has or use to and may still now.
What is your bowling score? Are you on a league? I use to love to bowl the few times I have. Being on a bowling league is fun. That's a good release... throwing bowling ball. Imagine you are throwing all your problems and stress away with each toss.
To me, it sounds like you've got a handle on it and are taking personal inventory and VERY proactive. Sorry you missed your doctor today. That's happened to me before when I forgot a doctor I saw left at noon on Fridays. Thank God for tomorrows, right?
However, if you feel you need help there's 911 and you can go to Crystal Cathedral New Home and click on link to talk to a live counselor FREE online. Religion isn't topic or paramount to call and was created in 1965, I think, when a member there attempted suicide. Dr. Phil "and" Robin both have spoken at Crystal Cathedral. Just a suggestion. That's life... like economics: choice. I wish us all the best choices managing our lives like top not CEO's on the ball rolling with the punches but not throwing them.
Hugs and prayers and thanks for the reply. SEA
Glad to know someone really thinks I have a handle on it. I wasn't sure. Yes I do bowl. Been doing it for god knows how long. Im not a 300 bowler thats forsure. My avg. is like 136-142. I haven't bowled on a league in awhile cause it cost so much anymore. Being single and working the graveshift really bites. I do have to say there was times when I would put that head pin as the person I couldn't stand the most. Friends would laugh at me when I be like that pin is so and so. And sure enough I would atleast knock it down maybe not a strike but it would be down. As for tennis it is a good sport to take anger out on but with the way I am acciedent ( i know it isnt spelled right) prone, I would twist an ankle or something. Tearing the ligaments in one ankle twice really stunk and once in the other ankle. I have to go back to work tomorrow night, after having the last two off. After the incedent in work the other night I didn't do any talken to much of anyone. And trying to act like nothing was wrong to the people I don't mind working with wasnt to much fun. But what was fun was hearing my friends I do have come to me and be like so and so wanted to know what was wrong with you. They pertty much told them it not your business and why dont you ask her whats wrong. I think if i would do that screamming thing in my house my neighbors wouldnt think it was me, they probally think it was my crazy neighbor, HA! If I did that I probally scare the heck out of my dogs, even they I yell at them for being a pain in my rear at times. I do have to say thoe they are good company when I am down and in tears.
