I've never kept my anger problem a secret.
While it takes me a while to reach my "bad place",
I do have "triggers".
I'm never proud of the person I become.
I'm never happy with myself when the dust settles.
I ALWAYS tell myself I'll never do it again.
I've put my hands on the people I care about most,
I've thrown things, put my fist through walls,
kicked in doors, slapped someone...
Slowly, I have learned to control it.
I've learned to walk away when I feel like I'm getting to that point.
I've learned to speak up when I'm getting to that point
and tonight I am very proud of myself.
I had a stupid argument with a loved one.
I didn't hit anything, throw anything, break anything,
kept my hands to myself and didn't say nasty things.
I didn't call anyone names, I didn't
say the relationship was over, and I kept my cool the best I could.
But some how...I still was told to leave, was told my things would be put outside, was told things were over, and was called nasty names.
Even after I did was asked of me (to leave),
I continued to receive text messages about my things being put outside.
I had every single one of my tiggers pushed and I didn't react.
Even after I left, my triggers were pushed.
Way to be mature right?
