Triggering (SI) - Seeing a psychologist for anger therapy

[pixie*lyssie]

OK so the main cause of my SI is anger and I told my CPN this on friday and she thought it would be useful if I saw a psychologist about my anger. It's always been the case with me for as long as I can remember even the first time I ever SI'd was from anger at a teacher at school so I took it out on myself. I can't help it. I promise I can't.

Great.... typing this has made me want to cut myself

I just get so angry and have no other way of channeling it other than taking it out on myself.

sorry, thanks for reading xx

Hey,
I know how you feel, because although not all of my SI is due to anger I do tend to find it hard to control feelings of anger and turn them against myself.
Have you tried all the common ways to get out your anger, such as thumping a pillow, screaming, etc? I know I find it hard even to allow myself to do those things sometimes, but perhaps trying to do something like that & allowing yourself to do so might help a little.
I really hope the psychologist can help you, good luck.
Take care,
