Herbs for anger management

15 years ago

Some interesting suggestions on this site.

Mint can be good for relieving stress, although not if you plant it in the middle of the garden where it will try to take over.

As to Passiflora, the variety "Incense" is quite attractive and hardy into protected parts of zone 6. Can be invasive in warmer climates.

Would anger management help Bullie medical personel, or racists, or ethnic haters? It is quite proper sometimes to get angry and let racists and sexists know that they are sociably unacceptble. To take up for people who cannot take up for them selves is applaudible.

Am adding another link. I bet i know one of the people the AMA is apoligizing for.

You did'nt even begin to mention the herbs that would help anger stress. Mints do not. I grow all kinds of mints. Lots of room and lots of mints. I'm in zone 6 and passiflora grows wild up here, eveywhere. Talk about a potentially toxic herb. must have slipped up again Doctor.

Sorry forum, You'll have to scroll down on the link above to access the AMA Apologises to Black Doctors. Must have linked to wrong article.

Doctor, read your link. Bwa,ha ha ha! Interesting the places you go to evaluate herbs. Maybe why somepeople are so full of misinformation. Sigh!! If only daisyduckworth were still here. But a certain doctor ran her off like all the other qualified herbologists.

I have to give you credit tho. you did speak in good ole english and not medicalese. Good going,I'm proud of you. By George! You may turn out ok after all

Well ... but the new meds aren't as bad as the old ones were. And look at the effects you are having now. Not everyone experiences problems with side effects, either. EVERYTHING has side effects, but most people aren't troubled by them. Even aspirin has side effects. Too much coffee. Long term side effects of horomone therapy is one side of the coin, short term side effects the other. Or no side effects at all. (Is there a 3 sided coin?) Its possible you won't have to be on them forever - hormone therapy is sometimes indicated to smooth out temporary imbalances in the body. You could always stop later if they are causing new troubles. The important thing is for you to feel happier and better. So I am hoping for the best for you while you take a breather to figure things out. Hang in there.

Good Luck Styleandease, I hope the sessions help. Good for you for trying to do something about it. My child (now an adult of almost 30) has had anger issues, like you say, since being a toddler. Nothing has changed it, in fact it is now worse than ever. It is an awful thing to be on the receiving end. I feel for you. In the case of my child there seems to be some sort of problem with reasonsing skills. Everything and anything can be twisted around into something to toss a fit about. Having others around who inadvertently support that kind of behavior by acting the same way is going to make this difficult for you. You may up end, being the odd-duck in this situation, and will have to be well supported by your therapist. The bottom line, in my opinion, is nobody should have to handle this kind of behavior, so it is not that your ex is doing better because he can handle it, he is actually encouraging it by accepting it and acting the same. Sure, you could say 'that's just the way she is" but what kind of life is she being set up for with that kind of acceptance. Very few others outside of her immediate will accept her hostility, she will have few genuine friends, her life will be robbed of intimacy, trust, and safety because of her temper. Very few people want to get close to someone like that. It saddens me to see my own child held at arms length by so many people, but I can understand why they do, if you get close enough she will bite you. Again, congratulations for trying to be proactive, I really hope it helps. I hope she has a resolvable reason for being so angry, one that can be fixed, or one she is prepared to let go of.

anger at my stepmother for 30 years
Q

I agree with everything said here. Write the letter, keep it, don't give it to her just yet but save it for the right moment (which, btw, may never come...) Also a good point about wait until until the divorce is a done deal. About 4 years ago, my father confided in me privately that he was seriously considering ending it with the woman who at that time had been his girlfriend for 15 years. He said he felt like he could no longer take her selfishness and her at times caustic put-downs and other vile stuff that came out of her mouth. For him to confide this in me, his daughter, was slightly more personal than he had ever shared with me, and I knew he was very seriously thinking about it. Two years later he gets diagnosed with lung cancer. About two HOURS after the diagnosis, she's pushing marriage. A year after that (after a major surgery scare), she gets him to marry her and she is now officially my "stepmother". She now has my surname forever & ever (or at least until she marries some other guy) and even now that my Dad has passed away, I still have to deal with her, and she's still making it as hard as freaking possible. The last year of my Dad's life, I managed to have a few really good moments/occasions with him, but she made the whole thing a constant uphill battle in which I spent so much more energy than anyone should "playing defense" to ensure that she would not succeed in cutting me out of his life forever, try as she did to make me look like a horrible daughter and person at every conceivable opportunity. And because he was in many ways dependent on her after he got sick, he ended up defending her and most often acting as though he forgot his own (numerous) complaints about her. But he never did forget entirely, and on occasion, when he and I were alone, he would let me know that and tell me how much he loved me and what a great person he thought I was and how proud he was of me, etc. Still, some of those moments of being made to feel like The Outsider Whose Visit is a Barely-Tolerated Probationary Trial Period felt like pure hell... So in my Dad's case, he was scared of being all alone with cancer, too weak to resist her control, and also perhaps he realized he could overlook some of the flaws he found in her b/c cancer made some of it perhaps look minor in comparison. No doubt he still had some feelings of love for her, too. Who knows... but my point is we all can vascillate when it comes to break-ups, and then extenuating circumstances can pop up and you'll wind up having to deal with the woman for a lot longer than you expect after hearing your Dad talk "divorce"... and it may even be worse b/c of the defensiveness factor you'll then have to deal with. Just psychologically prepare yourself for the possibility. And by all means do not give the woman nay ammunition. Choose your words and pick your battles very, very carefully if you want to ensure you and your Dad remain close.

Actually the best anger tool I have I learned recently from Pema Chodron. Don't bite the hook.... I am not good at it yet, but I will get there. The next best I have used for years was exercise. I have trouble doing that now with the fatigue I have.

cayce, i know what you mean about fatigue but we do what we can. What else can we do?

Tell us about Pema Chodron. I know nothing about India,s medical out look except that some American Insurance companies are sending a few people to india for health care.So it must be better somehow.

Less expensive. Not sure that insurance companies would ordinarily pay for foreign care, but there are people going to countries where surgeries cost less.

Apollog, The article i read, said that not only was it cheaper( It included paying for airfare,room and board for a companion also) but the care was better, less complications and less infections. The insurance companys had started out with cosmetic(medical)surgeries,as in a woman had lost alot of weight and the abdomen skin had intruded into the abdomen obstructing part of the stomach. Companys were slowly going on to other surgeries. I don't remember what paper i read it in ,but it was American. I don't remember the names of companys. Sorry, that was'nt high on my list of knowables.

I did some digging and found that some insurance companies are indeed paying for it. Here's a link.

Interesting article Eric. I don't know about the medicinal value of any of the Herbs mentioned, but I do know that working in my garden is GREAT for anger management. I once stomped out of the house, late at night after an arguement with my Husband, and dug a new flower bed in my front yard!

Yes, I think that a big point they were making was that just growing herbs (without regard to whether the ones they mentioned were used medicinally) is therapeutic.

Exercise is a great mood elevator/stabilizer, and while I don't get enough of it, at least I can sweat off daily tensions in the garden.
