I Am Not Where I Wanted to Be At This Age

19 and Getting Older

I am 19 years old and I am not doing anywhere near as well as I thought I would when I moved to my apartment. I have just gone farther downhill each day. But the prob is, I don't know how to fix this. I need to get a job, my vocational counselor said he'd set it up, but hasn't gotten back to me. I need to get back in college, I need a letter from my psychiatrist and he won't write it. And I need anger management even worse than ever. I get angry so easily. In the past, I would never actually hit someone, no matter how mad I got. I have hit my boyfriend several times and I punch the walls and anything I can find that won't break whenever I get the chance. I am afraid of really losing control. But I'm goin to try to work on improvin my life.

    Geez Louise, is anybody listening to you? --I'm not sure of your gender... Women often don't get listened to when we have emotional issues and get labeled "hysterical" or "crazy" instead of getting real help. But regardless of your chromosomes, you should be getting some kind of response, particularly if you are feeling increasingly angry!
