Can someone just please answer my question?

Question

this is very frustrating, I came here to get help from yahoo answers and they won't even post my question? I tried twice and it's not working? Do they not like me or whatnot? Anyway, I posted something on yahoo answers that read "follow up to 'Am I crazy'?" and then people just started saying I was without really answering my question. I didn't ask if I was, that was already resolved in the last question, the question "Am I crazy"? People just don't get it! and it's like I feel they are ganging up on me (yahoo answers) because they won't let me post my questions sometimes and then when I go to the Yahoo Suggestion Forums, people either ignore what I have to complain about or sometimes that happens. you can see my frustration that this week I was scheduled to see my therapist whom I haven't

seen in a long time and I canceled it because my dad told me it was too expensive just to talk to her for an hour. She charges alot and I don't think she accepts people without insurance. I just don't know what do to. People won't listen to my problems here and I thought I had made a good decision to cancel my appointment!

I've tried to post this question twice or three time already!

As you can see, they are posted a week apart.

To the first answer, that's why I provided the link stupid!
You are the one that needs to be called stupid, when I provided both links and yet you were too lazy to go there.

I don't care...thanks for caring though people haha Just jokin'!....read in between the lines!

I appreciate this.

halestrm-I am not aggressive she's the one that called me stupid (the first answer). I normally am not an angry person and people get angry because they have a problem that needs to be addressed, you are right about that. But you are not right in that I have good insurance and that people don't pay attention to me because I get angry. They do! Anyways, I don't mean to be mean, but yeah yahoo answers DOESn't owe me anything, you are right, it was my fault for canceling the appointment.

As for anger management classes, I'm having a tough time finding one. Any ideas? And are they guaranteed to work?

"Based on your first post, you "think" the neighbor may have been talking about you when she was driving behind you. You don't know that she was. Let me ask you this, why would she? You are not the center of everyone’s world even if your parents have lead you to believe you are."

True, but you don't know the latter either. I have an old car and I tend to go slower than most new cars out there.

"You said earlier that you are a Catholic. Many churches offer counseling thru the church"

Not my church and I've tried that before...in high school, I talked to a pastor/father figure guy. didn't work. He's not a professional therapist! He's a priest for god's sakes!

I'm not trying to be mean or give alot of excuses, but really, it's just that there are no counseling through my church whatsoever.

Overall your advice was good and I see what you mean in many things you said though.

OMG 5 stars vs. 4?? You people are cruel to me! She calls me stupid, gets away with it and she gets 5 stars??? -_-

"Perfect example of what I am talking about. You are asking for help, you don't like someone's answer so you turn aggressive. Maybe that is why your friends and family aren't listening to you, it just isn't worth being subjected to your anger."

Believe it or not, I've improved. I was worse a couple years ago ,when I was 20 and had to go to court for vandalizing a car so... and u like being called stupid? Being insulted? Okay...stupid!

Answer 1

You're not crazy. What you are is NORMAL.

Now, by normal I mean a person with ISSUES which need to be sorted out for your life to be more livable. I suggest you get out and find someone you can talk to, someone who you respect and someone who will listen the same way the Doc did.

TAlking will help you sort out your issues and then your anger will get more in check. Remember that emotions are neither right nor wrong and that we OWN our emotions in that each emotion is our own reaction to outside stimulus. WE CHOOSE how to react, and we can choose anger or ambivalence.

Answer 2

I read both of your previous posts. I am not sure if you are asking for an answer that addresses your anger towards your neighbor or if you are asking if you should see a therapist. I will address both.

If you are still feeling anger and hostility after a month, you have an issue that needs to be addressed. Based on your first post, you "think" the neighbor may have been talking about you when she was driving behind you. You don't know that she was. Let me ask you this, why would she? You are not the center of everyone’s world even if your parents have lead you to believe you are. Most likely you are angry at the neighbor for no good reason. When you choose the best answer to your first question they stated you should go to anger management classes; have you? If not, then sign up for one NOW.

Regarding therapy. You said earlier that you are a Catholic. Many churches offer counseling thru the church. Talk to your priest and ask him for a referral. Also, if you are still in school, if it is a college, many have counseling for students. If you have insurance, call and get a referral from them. Talk to the teacher at your anger management class.

You may need to see a few therapists before you find the right fit for you and your situation.

As to “people just don't get it”. No, they don't, why would you expect them to. You might try reviewing your posts with a critical eye and see how awkward and confusing they are to read. You seem to feel as if you are owed something on Yahoo Answers; but again you are not.

Look at why you are so angry. I think you will see that a lot of it comes down to you not getting what you think you deserve. Well, in the real world you get what you earn and your aggressive behavior hasn’t earned you anything. No one is going to give you jack (except obviously your parents). You need to start taking responsibility for yourself and your actions and quit blaming others.

UPDATE

Perfect example of what I am talking about. You are asking for help, you don't like someone's answer so you turn aggressive. Maybe that is why your friends and family aren't listening to you, it just isn't worth being subjected to your anger.

Answer 3

Chances are you are not crazy.. Most people who are crazy don't ask if they are, however if you can I would try and speak with a different therapist that is covered under your dad's current health care.. Especially, if you feel that expressing your feeling/thoughts and concerns was helping you through whatever you needed... Or if it's that much of a concern get a p/t job to pay the therapist...

Answer 4

There are programs where you can get free counseling. you do have anger issues, but no..you are not crazy, just anger issues you need to deal with. i'm sorry people are being mean to you. Hope this helps.

The county your in might also have information on free counseling services. i live in Los Angeles County and had information given to me for free counseling. So contact the county or Social Services, they might have numbers you can call that are part of the county for free counseling

Answer 5

I reply first, and if the answering makes me consider or makes my day, then I'll megastar. I realize...it is choosy of me, sorry. o.o But this fashion I emerge as pointing my fanatics and contacts to the *well stuff* you recognize? ^__^ Or no less than I attempt to. But have a celebrity besides only for being sufferer and expertise. ^_^

Answer 6

I assume you are in Yucaipa Valley California. If so then you have a mental hospital there close by called Patton state hospital and if you call them they can direct you to some lower cost help.

Answer 7

posting questions a week apart without prefacing the second one is just stupid. No one here remembers what you were asking a week ago. This forum seems to do best with immediate needs types of questions. For long term needs like yours, you need to go back to a therapist. If the one you have is too expensive, there are mental health clinics that will see you on a sliding scale based on your ability to pay.

Answer 8

I think you are taking things too seriously.
Particularly the consensus of a bunch of computer nerds :)

Answer 9

i cant ansure your question cuz i dont understand it. try posting it in a diffrent way.
