Do I need counselling or anger management classes?
It is risky to use this forum for an issue that is this important. My recommendation is for you to seek an evaluation from a professional mental health provider or a Certified Anger Management Facilitator to rule in our out the need for intervention.
It is impossible for any to give you an answer based on the information provided. I might add that it is also irresponsible.
Hello, it sounds like you were experiencing forms of domestic violence from him prior to your outburst. Please stop being so hard on yourself there is not many people in this world that wouldn’t eventually retaliate after experiencing ongoing violence. It sounds like he deliberately aggravated you to the point where you were bound to lash out (making you look like the bad one obviously). You are not to blame. Think about what your saying e.g. externalise it what would you say to another, if they told you the whole story. I don’t believe you need anger management, simply because you are regretting what you did. Most people that hurt others normally don’t take responsibility for their behaviours. If anything they blame others, e.g she/he made me do it.
I don’t think you need anger management but you do need counseling. Everyone makes mistakes, you don’t need to beat yourself up over one mistake. It sounds like you put up with a lot of abuse in the relationship and just snapped one day. A person can only take so much. Go get some help to deal with the break up and to deal with your feelings about yourself. Your self esteem has taken quite a blow.
