im over in iraq right now and everyone here is sending me to combat stress classes and anger management classes i just want to find ways not to be mad all the time me and my wfe get along fine unless i have a terrible day,then i guess she says i take it out on her she calls me a monster when i do get mad


Maybe its because of all of the stress being put on you being a soldier and all. Here is a remedy that just might make you feel better.First off you should just talk it out with your wife. Secondly, play with your child, children tend to be happy.(Take it from me Im a kid)And lastly try and do something that makes you happy, or just stay in a room by yourself away from anyone so you won’t take your anger out on them. I really hope this helps you.God bless. Bye for now.
dont be a d*ck…relax!
just dont be mad!Try to change the place if u can.If u will move out of Iraq i am sure u will feel good so will be ur life.
Sounds like you need to keep to yourself. Maybe you are venting to many of your frustrations on everyone around you. Go to the gym more, spank the monkey more. Do things to get your mind of Iraq, yeah I know, it ain’t easy. I only get 4 hours of sleep a night too. Its not just you dude.
You are not alone man. You dont even have to be in combat stress class to be pissed off in Iraq. I was pissed off for 14 months over there, and I came home on the edge also. I sugges this man. Just hold on until you get home, then surround yourself with your wife and kids and family and all kinds of familar places and things. Whatever you do, try not to be alone alot. Time healed it for me this way. It will probably work for you. And dont question why you are over there if you are unsure because ultimately nobody knows still..haha..just tough it out, stay alert, and above all else dont get yourself into trouble over there. Everything you do is magnified because of the situation over there. So just stay straight and do your thing and be patient and it will all be over soon enough.
You probably just get mad because it’s your way of dealing with your feelings and stress. Everyone has an outlet this sounds like it’s yours. Whenever you feel like your about to have a burst of anger try counting in your head. Or think of making love to your wife. Just anything to take your mind off whatever is making you feel your anger. This may not be any help and I’m sorry for that. Good Luck and have a safe time over there and god speed!
Your situation sounds familiar. I am a Marine Wife, and you are not the first I’ve heard of this. I personally believe combat does stress you out to the point of changing your character. Just from seeing so many other people going through it, ive observed. You may have had a temper before and now it is flared up from the stress of being away from family, especially in a war zone. Stress is proven to make you more apt to anger. I strongly suggest you do take the classes and get some support. You should share some of the things you learn in these courses with your wife so maybe she can have a better understanding of what you are going through, and hopefully it can take some stress off of being away and your anger. just be open about it and try not to bottle it up. and always remember you are not alone! say prayers every night and ask God to forgive your temper and to help you become a better person. If you believe in God, trust me he does miracles. It may not happen over night, but it adventually will..i promise! hang in there and God bless you and your family I totally understand what you’re dealing with!-oh, and try your hardest to be loving towards your wife no matter what the situation is and no matter how mad u are. just try explaining things instead of flipping out. it will ruin a marriage if that keeps up. just take it easy!
There must be a reason why you go mad. Like something to do with your childhood or parents.
dave..if your really in iraq, which i doubt, and they let you have a gun, then we really are on the way to losing this war…sorry, but go see your local shrink or witch doctor..or maybe better yet…your vet..
maybe because your sad… plus the fact that the environment affects your temper..
advice:
dont let your stress affect your relationship with your wife… its not her fault….
