Hey there. I was wondering if anybody here had any suggestions for some anger management and/or general counseling at low cost.
My problem is that I am easily irritated and am all too happy to run away with it and become angry. I do not become physically violent, and never have, but it's always a worry in the back of my mind that it may devolve into that someday, which scares me to death. I have been known in fits of anger to say extremely hurtful things which I would never say or even think in a "sane" moment with the express intent of hurting the other person's feelings. I also am prone to being angry and/or irritable for the remainder of the day. Little things can set me off, I don't like taking no for an answer, and I have a hard time taking criticism, even when it's constructive.
I work but am in debt and can't afford much. I have heard of Lifeline and Anglicare, which are church-based initiatives. How might I get in contact with a local chapter? Should I walk into local churches and ask if they know anybody? Who would I ask? The priest/minister/preacher? What about other avenues? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
