I'm Starting To Wonder If I'm A Bad Person With Bad Karma

I've had problems with anger since I was a teenager. When I'd get angry I'd lash out at others. I've been in so many fights because of my anger it's not even funny.

I thought after going to anger management counseling I had reigned in my anger problems. Apparently that isn't the case. Lately it seems like anything that can go wrong in my life has and will go wrong.

I just found the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and it seems like every time I try to plan something with her it blows up in my face. I'm starting to get really angry about this.

It feels like when I was a teen all over again and I don't like it at all. I'm starting to wonder if I'm a bad person and this is karma.

Hello Mikaele, and thanks for telling your story here. If you were truly a bad person, you wouldn't even be concerned about being one. Your anger bothers you because it doesn't match up with who you really are inside.

I think you sound like a smart person, and someone who really wants to change. I hope so, for your sake. If you do want to change, I think you'll find the exercises described on this FAQ page to be very helpful. Take this seriously, Mikaele, and you will benefit.

You can be the person you want to be, Mikaele. The above referenced exercises will help you to heal from your past, and you can be free to create a new future.

I encourage you to find a positive belief system, and not to let your fear of bad karma get in the way of you being a healthy, happy person. One of the best things about belief systems is that you can change them. Create beliefs that serve you well.

My very best to you,

Dr. DeFoore
