I have some anger problems and my mom thinks Anime is making me violent. I attacked my sister last week and noone believes that she did slap me first. My mom wants to put me on medication and I know that wont work. I'm afraid what my mom is saying to me all the time telling me it's not normal how I'm acting even though it's her fault in the first place that I'm messed up. So like she knows what's going on. I'm afraid of my mom putting me in a mental hospital soon. I need some advice from the Dollars before my mom sends me to the crack house.

Dear Victoria, admitting you have an anger problem is the first step to getting better. If you really want to change, your best bet is to go to an anger management group where you are surrounded by people who also have some anger problems. That way you can hear other peoples stories and take the step process to getting better. In the end though, anger is about self control, whether you have it or not is up to you. Till next time. Goodbye~

Tell her that putting you on drugs will not help the problem! It pisses me off that she would even think about that. Tell her that you just need to talk to her if you feel like that will help. Apologize to your sister and reassure your family that this is not a problem that can't be overcome by simply talking to each other, support and simply family love. Tell them you have a problem and you need their support, but not through drugs but by taking. You my need to go to anger management, or see a therapist but stay confident in your ability to recover from this and stay self-discipline in your actions.

I already see a theripist and I was forced to say I was sorry to my sister. my mom says the next time I go see my theripist will be the last before i get put on medication.

Putting you on medication isn't the best thing to do. I had anger issues and I got over them. I used be really violent and I would hit people. But I thought that it wasn't good so I stop hitting people. Whenever someone teased I would really angry. So to stop I would breathe in and out and speak to them calmly. Also I would hold in my anger. So if don't want medication, make sure u hold ur anger.

thanks for the advice guys and to be truthfull I want to be listened to noone ever listens to me making me raise my voice and yell alot and when that doesnt work well you know what i mean

>>6 If noone never listens to you then remember it's her loss, not yours. Just do what >>5 suggested, and if you want to vent out your anger and be listened to then that's what the Dollars are for. :)

1) You can't be sent to a mental hospital for being violent. If that happens, then you're out of control.
2) Try exercise to release your anger.
3) Why is it her fault?

That post made you sound like a fucking idiot. If someone can again find my post on The Dopamine Reward System and post it here, it'd be much appreciated.

>>8 Hm, you're right, that did sound pretty stupid. I was tired and it was late so I didn't notice noone meant "no one" (mistakened it for a name, what was I thinking??). But yeah, sorry about that. I'll help you find your post, Leigha, is it in Main, Personal...?

>>9 I got it. Someone bumped a thread that I've posted it in.

There's a process in your brain called the Dopamine reward system. If you didn't know, Dopamine is the main of the four hormones in the brain that I call "happy hormones" and it is the only one that's only purpose is to make you happy.

There are several things that cause a release in Dopamine. This is how the Dopamine reward system starts. When you do something that releases dopamine, your mood improves. Things that cause this are exercise, chocolate, looking at someone with a proportional face (basically someone that's hot), or smiling. I'm sure there's more, but those are the only things that I've been told.

When I say exercise, I don't mean actually lifting weights or running. While this does also help, it could be anything. Go play tag with a friend. Go take a jog with your dog. While your active, it counts. This also helps because it improves your body shape, which makes you feel better about yourself. It also just leaves you too exhausted to give a fuck by the end of the day.

Eating chocolate releases dopamine, but I don't have much else to say about it. I guess that's why girls like chocolate when they're depressed.

Looking at someone that's hot helps when you make eye contact. Why this works? Your brain must be rewarding you for catching the attention of a hot person. This is why people stare at hot people.

Smiling helps a lot. It's also the easiest to do when you can't do the others. The more you smile, the more dopamine released, the happier you are, and the cycle goes on.

I haven't heard this with the Dopamine reward system, but it's proven that people with pets live longer happier lives. You feel accomplished. It helps to feel unconditionally loved by your pet. I've seen people cheer up at the cite of a cute cat or dog or whatever. Cute animals helps.

My advice? Get a dog and run with it twice a day. IT's good for the dog and you. Get one from the shelter. These dogs will love you unconditionally because you literally just saved them from a hell hole. Then you're active and you have the cute pet for double dopamine. When you're at school or something, then you just smile. It feels weird at first to smile when your not happy, but it helps pretty quickly. Try to smile, laugh, or listen to a good joke. If you have a hard time smiling for no reason, then try to find a good joke to make you laugh.

Try to stay calm and active when you can. Keep yourself busy, but not "over-busy". Then you may become tired and grunny.
Try to isolate yourself with some high music that helpsm you calm down and when someone says or does something bad to them, think "They're not worth it." And just leave. That makes you feel like if you're the boss.

...Or something. I don't really know, but these are my advises. Try go to the river or something, that helps me cover my anger.

Good Luck!

1. Change yourself, i saw some good suggestion in this thread and you should make use of them.
2. Speak to your mom because even if you already change when she sees you watching an anime or something she will be worried if you will become the same as you are before.
good luck!
