How do you know if you need anger management or just therapy?

I lash out.... a lot. But I have a TON of stressors in my life. I feel like I'm always yelling. I need to get some help because I don't want my kids to see this side of me. I'm not sure where to turn though. Should I look for some type of anger management classes or a therapist? Please help me. I can't live like this anymore.

Start with therapy. It has helped me a lot with my anxiety. My therapist has made different suggestions along the way to help.

I read this to DH who is a psychologist and he said individual therapy could help you develop coping skills to deal with these issues.

Are you on birth control pills?

I ask because when I'm on them I have this issue.

I have what I can only categorize as rages. I can't control them.

It took a long time to figure out that I can't handle birth control pills.

Once I stopped them I was soooo much better.

I just did a quick google on it and it seems like there is some link there - now this is just google, so I would ask your doctor.

But if you've never been like that before, it could be PPD, hormone fluxtuations, etc.

I would call the OB and ask and if not, maybe start with therapy.
