So last week....

Blog Last Activity 8 years ago 487 views 17 comments

I've decided to go into counseling again. Part of that will be anger management. Last week I got into a fight with this guy and broke his nose. He was abusing his girlfriend and I couldn't take it anymore. The fight took place off campus. So the school isn't involved. But the police did get involved. No charges will be filed. The anger I felt as I was hitting this guy was so intense that it even scared me.

Just out of curiosity Benji, have you considered the possibility that the guy abusing his gf was merely a proxy in your mind for someone who abused or bullied you? His actions were merely an excuse you used as a means by which you could legitimately act out and vent a simmering rage that's been boiling and seething deep inside you from your own abuse. It may explain the intensity of your anger and quickness to act because you were clearly acting on emotion rather than reason. So my question to you is, after it was all over, did you feel a sense of satisfaction? If the answer is yes, then you know the source of your anger. And one more thing - don't ever apologize - own it.

I admire you for constantly tackling problems that u are confronted with Benji. You never run from them and u are supportive to others when they are confronted with problems too. I also admire ur energy and ur desire to make things right. Like others have said, if u can channel ur energy into positive actions I believe u will accomplish great things in life....for urself and for others. You go guy! I believe in u Benji.

Ya dude I know how you feel..............but you need to channel that anger towards other things. Can't blame you though, if someone was abusing his gf i'd prolly kick his ass also. Hang in there bro!
