Robyn Wheeler, author of Born Mad, has written an exceptional book about controlling your anger. It is a list of suggestions about how to do just that. It can be read through and the suggestions that you feel are the best for your situation can be utilized – or – take one at a time (by the week) for 104 weeks, and explore them that way. Ms. Wheeler does not preach or lecture the reader, but just states the suggestion and lets you internalize it. How you use them is up to you. An example from the list is:
“Happiness is not an inanimate object that can be purchased from a store. Happiness is located within you. Only you have the power to make yourself happy. Happiness is a state, not a destination.”
Robyn Wheeler was diagnosed with a form of depression called dysthymic
disorder, which she related in her book, Born Mad. She struggled for years with
anger, until she was diagnosed. She now takes medication to help regulate the
imbalance in her brain and most of the indicators of her disorder are gone or
have improved.
She is the owner of Born Mad, LLC, a company dedicated to creating awareness for
this disorder and helping others. She is now a newspaper reporter, author and
inspirational speaker. She is a member of the National Alliance on Mental
Illness, National Association of Professional Women, World Wide Who’s Who and
the National Association of the Self-Employed. She is a certified Family to
Family Education Instructor for NAMI, Kaufman Chapter and was named the
2012 Professional of the Year in Writing and Editing from Worldwide
Who’s Who.
