I am angry

A place for angry people to come and be angry about things without discrimination.
Also, a place for non-angry people to come and read and comment on angry people's posts. Don't be dismissive to ragers because I am notoriously generous with the banhammer.
Note: I say Angry People, not bigoted people. Being angry at people for how they are born will get you blocked with an astounding quickness.
Lastly: NO MEMES! USE YOUR WORDS! (Some exemptions may apply)

1stly, I am new to the fediverse, finally got so sick of reddit that I had to leave.
2ndly, it is medical, your advice has already been told to me by dozens of others and is pretty meaningless as no treatment has worked for more than a few weeks.
It IS terrible for my health, and again, as it is a neurochemical deficiency, I don't have as much conscious control over it as you assume.

Welcome to the fediverse, I’m glad you’re here.
Thank you for being one of the three people being humane in this sub. If they don't ban me by the end of the day I think I'm going to like it here.
It reminds me of reddit in 2012 and I have missed that feeling so much.
People have some fucking wild takes on here. I generally don’t say anything too controversial and still get downvoted.
I’ve been here for a bit over a year and it is good enough that it scratches the itch Reddit left. So I keep coming back. The thing I enjoy the most is that I can actually contribute to the conversation. Reddit gets so busy so fast that if you’re late to a post, you’re yelling in the wind. The low volume means your content is seen and consumed by more people. That’s pretty cool to me. In fact, your post is why I just posted in the community.
Good luck and hope you enjoy.
Who said anything about conscious control? I simply suggested its not healthy.
You have an underlying medical condition which causes you to have no control over your anger or frustration. I understand that.
There’s a difference between a medical doctor and a therapist. I found my personal issues were understood and helped by seeing a professional therapist. Doctors just threw medication at me which did nothing
Oh, you're one of THOSE asshats.
Firstly, I already see a therapist and have been for years.
Secondly, it's a neurotransmitter deficiency, no amount of talking to someone is going to change my serotonin levels to anywhere close to normal ranges.
This is a teachable moment.
Stop and think, I've mentioned that I've struggled with this for decades, do you actually think that I would have gone through all of that and not exhausted every surface level option?
Best case, you're legit trying to help with your twitter level advice.
Worst case, you enjoy manipulating people online and do this for kicks.
And I'm leaning heavy towards the latter. In any case, at least explain to me how you came to the conclusion that I had not had a therapist.
ok dokey.
With that attitude, you will never get help, you will never change. Good luck on your journey. It is unfortunate you are resistant to literally anything.
Enjoy your rage echo chamber.
I expect your reply to be “banned”.
I have been passed around from field expert to field expert for most of my life, therapy, medication, meditation, physical therapy, and none of them have provided a working solution.
They HAVE on the other hand kept me from doing several truly stupid and life destroying things, and that's why I continue to pursue ever avenue available. There's no relief from the anger, from the tension and high blood pressure, but at least I know myself not to buy a gun or carry a pocket knife, and it was therapy and meditation that taught me that.
I wish just once one of you sanctimonious blowhards could experience 24 hours in my shoes.
Do you know what it feels like to get so irrationally angry at a tag from your shirt rubbing you that you tear the shirt off while literally growling in the middle of a movie theater? Because I sure as fuck do and none of you will understand how powerless it felt to do it or how ashamed I feel when I remember the looks on the faces of the other people in the theater.
Do I consciously know that it is inappropriate to expose yourself in such a setting? Of course I did.
Did I also consciously know that the tag rubbing my skin shouldn't be a big deal BUT FUCKING HELL NO MATTER HOW I SQUIRMED OR SCRATCHED IT JUST GOT WORSE AND WORSE?!?!?
I never for a moment made a choice 'Ok I will now stand and tear my shirt in half'.
it was 'I am so OVER this TAG' and an eyeblink later I had ruined my 2nd favorite shirt and was shortly escorted out and banned from the theater.
and that was AFTER roughtly 20 years of therapy and three rounds of medication.
Face it, no matter how accepting people like you claim to be, if my disability isn't visibly disfiguring you assume it is just a mood.
I'm not banning you because I'm hoping you might fucking learn something here.
I have learnt enough. Some people are beyond help.
See? I learned that years ago. Glad to help you rip off that bandage.
