Iv done something I shouldnt

Postby kelley2004 » Tue Jun 15, 2004 10:08 pm

Me and my partner are just going through a very stressful split at the moment because of me and my anger.
Today I went up to his house to try and get some of my stuff but he wouldnt let me. I ended up waiting for him to finish work, (he wouldnt answer the phone to me) when he came home from work I was so wound up when I saw him because he'd had the locks changed and Id been waiting for him for over an hour I just saw red. We started arguing and I flipped, I hit him and he slapped me back which made me even more angry so I hit him again. This time I cut his eye, that scared me because Id realised what Id done so I tried to do a runner over the fence (which ended up with me cutting all my leg open).
In the meantime whilst all this was happening he had rang my mum to come and get me because he couldnt calm me down but when she got there even she couldnt calm me down and ended up ringing the police and an ambulance, she said I needed professional help.
Id managed to calm down at this point but spoke to the police officer anyway who persuaded me to go to the hospital.
The hospital is referring me to a psychiatric advisor (whatever one of them is).
Now I feel so guilty in what I have done, I am very embarrassed and I cant believe I have done this to my partner and my family.
At this moment in time Im worried at what this psychatric advisor is going to say, Im scared they are going to tell me Im losing it.
Can anyone give me some advice Please

Hi kelley

It could be the best thing that's happened to you - with luck the advisor will help to get you into an anger management programme - you can actually ask for this, you know.

You can tell the advisor about your worries, and how distressed you are about the damage you are doing, and ask directly if they can refer you to a suitable programme.

I doubt they're going to tell you that you are "losing it", because you are fully aware of what the problem is when you are calm - but you need help with keeping yourself calm under provocative circumstances.

Let us know what happens

Iv spoke to the advisor and she has helped me get in touch with a counsellor who can help me.
Hopefully I will be able to get my panic disorder sorted as well but Im not getting my hopes up too soon.
Fortunately, what happened that day has turned out positvely.
Thanx for all your advice
