Is There Any Way Of Getting Help With Anger Management For My Girlfriend That Doesn’t Cost Money?

10

Her GP is no help – he told her to buy a pick axe handle and hit the floor with it when she’s angry – can you believe it? She’s a lovely girl in every way, but unfortunately gets angry very easily over minor things. She’s 35 and I don’t want to lose her from my life – she thinks I would be better off without her, which I obviously wouldn’t. We’ve been together for 9 months and she lives with me. Any suggestions would be gratefully received. Thanks.

First of all, get a different doctor. Thats irresponsible advice and very unprofessional. It also sounds like she might be depressed, even if just slightly it can make a huge difference in behavior. Instant anger over nothing a key indicator. Start asking around at different places to see if anyone knows of any programs that are available. A different doctor may be able to suggest something or refer her to a psychiatrist which is probably covered by her insurance.
I would go try the court system, they always have anger management programs going on, see if she can join one. Tell them it might prevent the courts from getting to know her much better! Call the police station (not 911) and ask if they would have any ideas. I doubt it but it can’t hurt. Social services might have some ideas or can point you in the right direction.
Does she admit to having anger problems? Is she willing to get help? Thats the first step and unfortunately not an easy one…
Best wishes.

tell her to smoke a joint (weed relaxes you) or take some kick boxing classes or something. If she wants to relive stress great way is letting her kick some ones *** legally.

Where do you live? I have a daughter who could help you, but she is in Austin, Texas. If you have a college anywhere near you, they usually have free counseling by the graduate students. Check the yellow pages for the nearest MHMR offices and sometimes they can offer free counseling. Anger management does not always help, she might need medication. Good luck.

Call your Public Health Dept. and ask to speak with their Mental Health Dept.
Call United Way.
Call a Priest, Minister, Rabbi or Iman.
Don’t linger; get help.

Go back to the GP and tell him the pickaxe handle idea didnt work (silly suggestion FFS). Ask if the surgery nurse has a.m.training, a lot of them do have, or ask to referred to a specialist. Your GP should take this request seriously, if he doesnt think of changing GP’s. Does your /f get moody at certain times of the month? If so tell her to try Evening Primrose Oil as it really works, I take it all the time.
Failing this speak to your local pharmacist and ask his/her advice.

Not much you can do.This world we live in throws pressures at us all the time.Also, it may be a good idea to have emergency numbers handy.Please make sure she does not buy the pick axe handle.
A person who gets angry all the time will sooner or later lose the loved ones around them. She does not know this yet, but you may leave her one day too if she continues like this.
