Your courage is so inspiring I am not sure you realize how many people you touch with your words! I read them while vigorously nodding in assent! I have too often buried my anger, only to have it come out in tears at unexpected moments that should be joyful….I hate that! I am going to learn to own my anger and process it as it happens and I have you to thank for it!

I know exactly what you mean about going through periods of being angry all the time. I think you are exactly right that recognizing it is the first step. In terms of long term release, I usually need to talk with friends and family or write about it to do my best to gain some perspective. Not as satisfying as scream therapy, although yelling or crying usually helps for a moment, but I find it doesn’t last unless I work through it.
So it seems to me that you are doing the best you can right now.

I think working yourself up to a rage, then effing and blinding yourself senseless about whatever the thing is works wonders for me. I blogged recently about shaking with rage at the soon-to-be-ex-neighbours. Got it out of my system AND had 15 minutes completely pain free as the adrenaline surge knocked any pain sensation into a cocked hat.

Having a good cry usually helps me. But with you being a guy, I don’t know if it has the same effect ;). I like the scream therapy too!! I’ll have to try it next time.
