    Default Finding a home for birds?

    Please save judgements...I feel horrible about this, but I don't know what to do at this point.

    I posted in another thread about my panic-attack rage issues. If it hits, I go nuts, tearing apart my apartment. I throw things, break things, etc.

    It happened again tonight, and I almost killed my pet birds. I was just able to stop myself from throwing their cage.

    I feel so horrible, I can't stop crying. I know this is unbelievably horrible that I would even have the potential to hurt my pets, but when I get in these rages, I dont really have self-control...it's like watching someone else.

    I am trying to get help...I found a good therapist and am going to discuss medications, but my first appointment is a ways off since he has a waiting list.

    I am terrified I am going to hurt my pets in the meantime, and I don't want to risk going into a rage again and doing something terrible.

    I am the biggest lecturer about how pets are a lifetime responsibility, but they are in serious danger staying with me.

    I want to find them a new home, and don't know where to look. Can anyone recommend a way to find a good home for them? They're very sweet, hand-tamed parakeets.

    Go check out a few pet stores and local listings. Some offer/allow your pets to stay for however long you're away (usually for vaction purposes).

    Could you get them to a friends, family members house?

    I know you are getting help, but if I can suggest something. Whenever you get mad, go into one room and one room only. Let that room be your anger room where you can kick, punch, break anything. Another way that helps me, is driving, or taking a run.. in my (apartment) hallway or outside, my anger loosens up this way as well.

    ^Thank you for the sugvgestions, but I've tried them all.

    I tried, when I felt the rage building, to lock myself in one room...I ended up tearing down the door and doing ten times the damage.

    Running, punching, etc does not help...I am not satisfied until I have destroyed things
