[quote=Anonymous]I'm a pp and I want to offer some advice on how to deal with the anger, OP. I went through a very bad, self-blaming period where I was an absolute bear. I was mad at every body. So, I used to drive my car to Rock Creek Park, turn it off and scream, "Fuuucccckkkk" at the top of my voice with the windows rolled up. Rinse. Repeat. I think I even hit the steering wheel a few times. I had many cries in the shower, too. At my therapist's suggestion, I wrote down every "bad" thought I had, read it and then threw it away. Things like, I've ruined our lives, you've (kid's name) ruined our lives, it'll never get better - it's only going to get worse, we will have to declare bankruptcy, etc. Things that I could NEVER say out loud and in fact probably didn't really believe, but were contributing to my anger and needed an outlet. You've got a lot of strong emotions in there bubbling up and you need to find a healthy way to let them out. Good luck.[/quote]
