Aggression in adults

Lucy


Hi!

I really struggle with my emotions, in particular anger. I can’t seem to control my anger at all. It will be over small things and usually out of frustration. I was wondering if anyone had found a way of coping with anger as an adult and if there are any groups/therapies that are helpful in this area as it’s beginning to effect my relationships with my family/friends/partner.

thanks!

  • Had this issue but as a kid and ended up in Anger Management for it, didn't do a lot to help, but hey its easy to tell a kid what they should be feeling apparently!

    Yeah I was really bad as a kid, now it’s more that I’ll shout and then because I don’t know what to do with such strong emotions I usually end up having a panic attack of some sort. I would ask my parents for help but they always thought I was just being difficult. Since my diagnosis they now know differently. However, even now they still will dismiss what I’m feeling and just go “oh it’s ur autism” and then whatever point I’m trying to get across is just dismissed. It’s really hard when they don’t listen. I think if more people listened to their kids it would prevent so much hurt.
