I need to rant. What a horrible use of free time! She has two ill behaved overweight big breed dogs that she bought a couple years before retirement and now she is going to foster other big breed dogs. When she bought those dogs I was already like “wow now she won’t be able travel or start a new hobby/activity during her retirement years and enjoy this now found freedom because she made her own prison” and now she’s adding more time to her prison sentence. I just know she’s fostering to feel like she’s doing something good in the world but she could volunteer to help people! I don’t understand why nutters value dogs over people. Her mother was in an assisted living facility and after her passing she mentioned how she wants her golden retriever to be a service dog so she could bring it to the facility to keep people company. That stupid dog doesn’t even know how to fetch, the one thing it’s supposed to do! How about volunteer at the facility and give people human connection. Anyway, I just had to get this off my chest because she mentioned how she wants my husband and I to visit more and I already didn’t want to go to her house because of her two dogs and now with this fostering nonsense I actually don’t want to ever visit again.

If so, which medication and has it worked? I want to talk to my doctor about getting a prescription for my anger because it’s affecting marriage. I lose my patience quickly.

I’m on lexapro and my rage and anger has significantly decreased. I’m also more present in my anger that I recognize sooner that I’m being unreasonable rather than letting the anger consume me and lose sight of the situation. So basically being angry for 5-15mins instead of a rage fit of 30mins to an 1hr+

But I still get angry quickly. I wish I could snap out of it. Sometimes I feel like being shocked or some direct pain to my nervous system would redirect my focus. This sounds unhealthy though.
