Today, I found out that my $1000 anger management course had no effect on me when I smashed a picture frame. Why? I had run out of toothpaste. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got caught shoplifting a toothbrush. I'm flat broke and my roommate used my old one to scrub out her cat's puke stains off the carpet. FML
Today, I was brushing my teeth in a rush before work. I squeezed the toothpaste tube too hard, and some of it it shot directly into my eye. I spent the next ten minutes half-blind, crying peppermint tears, and still somehow managed to be late. FML
Today, I was so stressed out from my ex harassing me that I took a chewable pill that’s made for anxiety and it broke my tooth. FML
Today, I decided to be productive and clean behind my couch. I found dust, old receipts, and one sock I thought was stolen by the universe. When I stood up proudly, I smashed my head on the shelf above. I knocked down three picture frames. All shattered. FML
Today, I was flossing my teeth, which I do only to not get yelled at (chewed out?) by my dentist. Dentist I’ll now be seeing later today because the floss broke off a corner of one of my molars. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth before a date, I sneezed so hard that toothpaste flew all over my clean shirt. I was already running late, so I panicked and tried to wipe it off with water. It left huge wet spots. I showed up looking like I had just lost a fight with a giant toothbrush. FML
Today, my mom called me crazy and told me she wanted to put me in a mental hospital. She did this after repeatedly hitting me with a shoe. Why? Because I forgot to put the cap back on the toothpaste. FML
Today, I had to have emergency work done on my teeth after I seized in the shower and smashed my face into the tub. Apparently, the dental insurance I'd been paying for but had never used ended its coverage 4 days ago, because my job was no longer working with them. FML
Today, I woke up to find that not only did the toothpaste I put on my pimple make it more noticable, but it made it worse. FML
Today, while brushing my teeth half asleep, I stabbed myself in the eye with my toothbrush, toothpaste included. FML

it's still going to take time and a lot of work, it's never going to be as easy as taking a class. dont get discouraged or give up, things like this aren't easy but they are worth the work

Courses are meant to give you the tools to help you manage it. If you don’t reflect and use those tools no course (no matter how expensive it may be) will work. It’s not a like it helps your anger magically disappear. You really have to continuously work at it and keep figuring out what triggers it. If running out of toothpaste is a trigger rn maybe get a few tubes have one to use and another one in stock just in case.

I don't think you did it -- you were.... ...wait on it... ... framed.

Please keep on trying to learn how to manage it, you could hurt someone you love one day.

You can take a course but it’s not mandatory to learn

If you aren’t seeing a therapist it may help to have one. I don’t have anger issues but have anxiety and depression. Even with medication it helps to still have a therapist to see, I’m sure it would be useful to have someone one on one to work with and listen to you and help you come up with your own plan to deal with triggers vs just a class.

Maybe some meds?

I’m not going to put YDI. Why? Because you are actively trying to fix your anger issues. It just doesn’t seem to be working.
