Oh god anger is my biggest monster! I simmer and I boil and I snap and I hate it! It's just volcanic and all the usual tips and methods just seem to fuel my irritation further. When I suppress it I get depressed (anger turned inward, and all that). The worst are the sudden outbursts of rage, I terrify myself and other people. I have to force myself to get away from people. Trapped at home, screaming was the only thing that didn't harm myself or inanimate objects! But it harmed my reputation in the neighbourhood. Drugs can zonk you out. But then you're not processing it, alive to what you're being forced to express. Breathing deeply I suppose is the answer, but when I'm off on one, I've got a different head on and that information isn't available unless someone else tells me to do it! I suppose the best relief is empathy from others on the forum! It's the shame and self-hatred and terror that do me in. I can't believe the person I turn into. But then here that's just normal! |
