Hi Cyrus Wallace
I had a thought about sleeping badly, stress and not wanting to eat. One thing that can help with all three is gentle excessive. A good 30 minute to hours walking at a reasonable pace (not slow and not running) may help with all three. This may also help with your anger levels :)
Hi, RedFox:
Yes, walking and thinking helps me a lot. I also try to listen some music, I love to draw, I'm writting a book, those things helped me a lot sometimes. But there are moments that even doing so doesn't help me at all. :(
Hahaha, curious, but staying with my beloved pet (A little cat) helps me to calm down.
Hi, JEEP:
Yes, I was told about that, but I was considering other factors that could determinate a "change of attitude". I suffered a lot in that hospital, I didn't want to eat, nurses were not that kind persons, I couldn't believe that happened to me! I was 11 years old, I wasn't aware of "the lessons". I lost my faith, I just wanted to die, I felt alone seeing everyone having fun, doing everything and I had to be in that bed. In the 2º month, I suffered a decompensation, I almost die, I woke up surrounded by medics. It was horrible. I see that a lot of programs appeared in that moment of my life. Maybe Tigersoap was right in that case.
@About Spiruline: I just asked for it and no one knew anything. I should ask in specialized herbs shops. What's it format? How may I consume it? Is there a dairy dosis of it? I readed all the related information of those links, I find it interesting but I should investigate where I can find it. Is the first time that I hear about it.
@About Cannabis: I'm afraid of smoking tabacco and you say that cannabis is better? And yes, is hard to get it and I don't feel prepared for smoking that... sorry...
@About my bloodtype: I'm "O-" so we've got almost the same blood type. I readed the information about my blood type. It seems that we're related to anger episodes when we're under the right conditions (Lack of proteins, bad sleep cycles, stress, etc). And it also included my thyroid problems and something else that I should be more aware.
@About Rawmilk: I live in a rural area now, I moved from the city 2 years ago, I can find raw milk easy. :) But, before I do that, I'll try to get more information about that.
Thanks for your help, I enjoy networking. :)

I confess that I also have anger problems
Proper sleep and nutrition, which had already been mentioned, are definitely very important. I sleep with a "siesta mask" (a cloth eye covering, smth like this: \\\http://www.americarx.com/admin/ARXPRODUCTIMAGES/FImages/Flents/227280.jpg). This gets around any lighting issues in the room that you may have. Very cheap and available in most pharmacies.
Eating regularly may even be more important for you than eating correctly, at this point. I too often forget to eat. By the time I remember to do it, I am starving, miserable, and nasty, just from the blood glucose level dropping too low, I suspect. Of course then I naturally reach out to what will fix it most quickly, which is, something sweet. This is how erratic eating habits may contribute to poor food choices. All nutrition books recommend aiming for 3 meals + 2 snacks a day. Make them small but regular.
Hi, Hildegarda:
It seems that you're going through the same than me. That's exactly what happenes to me and it happens pretty often. I guess that nutrition depends on one's organism. I don't feel like "3 meals and 2 snacks a day" could be useful for everyone. Nevertheless, I'm very grateful for that recomendation. :)

Re: breathing technique, Vulcan has posted a written transcript of Laura's audio. It should make it easier for a non-native speaker to understand the lecture and the direction. I think those breathing exercises are GREAT for anger issues, if you "self-remember" and start doing them just as you feel you are beginning to freak out.
Yes, Ryan just told me so. I will try to translate it and coordinate it with Laura's voice record in order to get an efficient result of it. I'm in debt with Vulcan.

Lastly, there is definitely this:
when I can't find something, when I feel under pressure, when things don't result as I want them to result, when I'm really stressed, when "certain" (My mother and my young brother) people talk to me, etc.
There are two parts in this.
First, a big realization for me was that a lot of the above is about control, of feeling that you should have it but instead lack it. Learning not to be too hang up on the result of what you are doing, not to feel that you are responsible for everything and everyone, and not assuming that you are here to change other people, goes a long way towards alleviating anger.
And second, sometimes we ARE too stressed, too overburdened with responsibilities, surrounded by people who bug us or even by people who are wrong for us. I realized that my temperament is not such that can withstand such pressure consistently. Perhaps I am not strong or resilient enough, even. At any rate, at least I can study myself, know what I can reasonably withstand, and only take on this much. Certainly better than taking on an armload of stuff and then, in a way, attacking other people in anger, covertly blaming them for me not being able to manage it.
This too is related to the work on getting in touch with yourself, similar to understanding your past emotional experiences, but this one is on the level of the body. Not knowing whether you are hungry or not, and then fueling up on sugar and caffeen is another aspect of the same disconnect from your body's needs. It is simple, really.
Whether your accident and the resulting injuries have anything to do with your personality, is hard to say. The good news is, the brain can be retrained and can compensate. In this respect it's not different from some who doesn't have a past injury -- getting rid of a hard-wired habit is the same kind of tedious brain-reprogramming. There is no magic bullet, I am afraid, otherwise I would have already found it ... but, one step at a time, I hope I'll get there.
1- Yes, my problem starts when I don't see me capable to hang my anger. But, I'm trying to learn how to do it, perhaps the clues for doing that are in my past but I don't know where I can start.
2- Another interesting issue here. I can't overcome stress, pressures, I can't tolerate people who tries to "change my way to see the world" since their vision is very simple: Born, live, have money, have a family, die when I don't even care to "change" their vision of the world (If they don't ask). I was always surrounded by that kind of people. I don't attack them, I just attack myself for not being able to hold my anger. Even if I don't want, people keep trying to convince me "what's better for me" without asking me in a first place.
I've to admit that I don't know when I'm connected with myself. Even if I'm interested in the Work, I don't know if I have a "high-self", if I'm a robotoid or something, that was always my problem. But, talking about my body, I just realized that I've to eat meat, for example, due my blood type. I lack some proteins, that's why I feel weak. I've got to avoid "temporary solutions" (Like coffee, sugar, etc) and get focused in solutions that improve my health in a general way.
For now, I should "back in time" to the moment of that accident. I've memory when I was a recent born baby (6 or 8 months), so I'll try to "go back" as much as I can in order to find out the source of my anger. I'll also read Tigersoap's recomendation together with dietary changes. I didn't knew that this process could be so complex...
Thank you, Hildegarda. :)

Hi Cyrus,
Have you read
Deep Therapy in the Fast Lane and tried Laura's recent breathing exercise? I think they would be useful for you.
Hi, Bobo08:
No, I didn't. I will read it when I finish my Outstanding readings. :)
----------------------------
Okay, I'll continue with Vladimir's answer later, I'm really tired. Meanwhile I would like to ask him to clarify the terms that he used and PepperFritz remarked.
Thanks to everyone. :)
