Losing It Over Nothing

by Rich

Sometimes I will see or hear something and I don't think about what that might actually mean. Then my mind sets in one decision as to what it may be, then I will kick off about it whether I know it to be true or not.

My mind is telling me it is true, so I kind of bite before I get bitten sort of thing. And this is causing a lot of problems with me and my fiance. I will also kick off over stupid things or even if something hasn't happened, I kind of expect something. I am always snapping at my fiance. I need to stop being like this before I lose her.

Please help.

Hello Rich, and thanks for telling your story here. It is clear that you have some things going on, and your thoughts are getting you in trouble.

Here is what I recommend:

Start with the journaling exercise on this page. Also do the anger journaling described here, which will help you understand and contain your anger.

The most important step for you is to begin to shift your focus to what is good, right and working in your self and your life and other people. The journaling described here will help you with that.

Here is an excellent program that will also help you to get your thinking clear and positive.

Do these exercises and use these programs, Rich, and re-train your brain to focus in a more positive direction.

You are a smart and good man, and that's why you asked for help here. When you do what I've recommended, you will get more in touch with that good man that you are.

My very best to you,

Dr. DeFoore
