Ok maybe I can work something out and take her there, but they are most likely gonna prescribe meds to calm her down, I dont think that is gonna fly with her. She has been on meds before and shes gotten worse after she came off them.... maybeeee thats the problem. Everything is out of whack after comming off medication....
.... does anyone have any other ideas.... any anger management techniques?
she must not eat cheese, caffeine etc with such meds. or food with tyramine in them. the medicine doesnt work as well and she will suffer more side effects. she has to have a strict diet with such medication. she should ask for a list of food to avoid from her doctor. or i can help you with that if you want. if she is taking any medicine, PM me the name and i can advise you.
in general when taking anti-depressants they all have side-effects. most will improve over time. if she takes even a days break this will make her condition worsen though.
but the best way to cure anger or depression is through prevention.
Do you guys ever get angry thinking about the past?
i think this is natural as there is always something which causes us to think about the past and feel angry. stress, an argument, cognitive distortions, beliefs etc. but getting angry at your past and thinking of regrets wont benefit anyone.
Ok, then, she needs to be aware of it. Therapy won't help her unless she herself recognises she has a problem.
Sometimes people do need a physical outlet for their anger. Buy her a stress ball!
I have some anger issues, but now I work with children and if one can be patient when hearing 'miss milly' x 30 in very whiny voices all day, then one can control ones anger.
Suggest she work with children, volunteer once or twice weekly at a school/play group/nursery/saturday-sunday school. They can teach us adults a thing or two.

She loves kids... but I would NEVER EVER trust her with kids or leave one alone in a room with her LOL.... no im joking it isnt that bad, but kids do cause a lot of stress I think that isnt what she needs right now... but that was a good suggestion that you for that.:)
