Anger Management Issues

[Holding On*]

I think I have anger issues, and I also have been diagose with Depression. I would love to be able to talk to other people with Anger problems, to discuss ways of cooling/prevention and ranting.
I was talkng to Marcie and she said the nearest boards we have would be the depression board and the metal crisis, now what if the reasons for my anger is neither depression, loss or grief - I would be off-topic, and also I don't consider me getting angry quick and wanting to punch walls, is a Mental CRISIS as such...

So you see I am stuck and there is no real board to use where I would be considered ON-topic, so what I am getting at is that is it possible to maybe make an Anger board, or maybe a general rant board?? Or somewhere where it is on-topic.

Thank! (:

You can rant in The White Padded Room that was it's original purpose.

Hmm, this is honestly an interesting idea.

But yeah, as of right now, since there isn't an anger management forum, if you need somewhere to mention anger issues, post in TWPR.

Okay then. The thing with that board is that it is more of a generl board now... I hardly see any people ranting in there... maybe a General Chat should be created for some of them topics to go to so that it can have it's true purpose? I don't know...

There are a lot of rants in TWPR, they're just not that often, because only seasoned members realize you're allowed to rant in there.

Feel free to rant in there, no one will get mad at you lol.

As Thomas said, that's what TWPR's original purpose was, and it's still one of its multiple purposes at this point.

Ranting forum as a subforum inside TWPR would work better imo.

People can rant in their diaries, other peoples diaries and blogs as well as TWPR. There are lots of places available to rant in around the site.

I am aware people have anger management issues and some people may need advice or help/support to cope with it because it effects themselves, family, friends and others around them. Also, the person might want to find other people who experience similar issues to them. One of the downsides of an anger management forum is that many members could possibly start confusing things such as bad moods or a bad temper with a mistaken fact that they might have an actual problem, even when they don't.

I really dont think we need another forum strictly for anger and ranting where TWPR is a perfect place for it.

We have plenty of places to rant. No need for any necessary forums as far as I see.

There are plenty of rants in TWPR not to mention mental crisis
its original purpose when the site was first created was to rant and to use as a general forum
VT originally was about emotional problems and a support network
Not P101ers or any of that crap

Ranting forum as a subforum inside TWPR would work better imo.

I completely disagree!

Yes but TWPR is used for cheery things now and having fun and doesn't match rants which are all depressing. It contrasts a little. Having a place for ranting would put it all in one place.

We don't need a forum dedicated just for ranting it won't have enough action at all. TWPR has been the ranting and general discussion forum and it should remain that way. It's in the description.

A description can be changed.

It's for SUPPORT and a place to grow a sense of community
through the good
AND the bad
It has been that way for over 5 years

And they can be left the fuck alone

Whoa dude why are you being so defensive?? it's just a few words on an internet site.

I have no use for this forum. I think TWPR is fine the way it is. It was called the white padded room for a reason.

An anger issues forum in my opinion might start a lot of fights, especially with trolls, and people who are still let on the forums but are complete assholes. Rants may also let people say whatever they want to and hurt someone.

Furthermore, rants about other people on the site would need to be strictly unallowed. And I mean like literally. A few people I had beef with and I would make little stabs in other posts, and this "rant forum" could definitely be misused and irritate some sore relationships that don't need to have any attention.

Idk that's all I have right now

Calm down.

I think an anger management forum would be good for you :P

all rants on any subject are best placed in the white padded room (twpr). twpr is a forum that covers a wide range of topics from random questions to random rants and that is why twpr exists. you should never feel uncomfortable about ranting in twpr and you will most likely find a host of people happy to read about whats bothering you and wanting to help. the bottom line is, there is no plan in place for a new forum for rants and the such, because this forum already exists being twpr.
