Do I Got Anger Management? Depression? Help..?!
Question: Do I Got Anger Management? Depression? Help..?
When I get angry I can't control myself. I just hit my bed or Pull my hair and if my phone is in my hand i just hit it or throw it..Or I grab a pillow and scream. And if I'm very mad I grab a pencil and scratch myself till I see a bit of blood and it calms me down. I had this problem since two years back where it was actually worse. But when I told my mother I needed someone to talk to she just said I'm not crazy or if I really want to go to talk to someone and just sit there do nothing. But She doens't know about the hurting myself part. Nobody in my family knows this. But what do I have to do? Is there a medication for this? & i don't really feel comfortable talking about this with anyone but my boyfriend. Any advice?
