I’ve been struggling with severe anger issues for a while now. My anger can be extremely impulsive, explosive, and sometimes violent. It’s putting a serious strain on my relationship, and I’m concerned about how difficult it is for me to control my reactions in certain situations.
I recognize that I have a problem, but I don’t fully understand what’s causing it. I don’t know if there are underlying mental health issues, unresolved problems, or something else contributing to my behavior.
I genuinely want professional help. I want to understand why I react the way I do, learn how to regulate my emotions, and stop allowing my anger to negatively affect the people around me.
The problem is that my insurance doesn’t cover the care I need, and I simply can’t afford to pay out of pocket for therapy or psychiatric services.
So my question is, what options do people like me have? Are there free or affordable mental health resources, programs, or services available for someone in my situation?
Has anyone dealt with something similar and successfully gotten help without having much money? Where did you start?
