In reply to What do I do with the anger?, posted by tina on July 6, 2003, at 21:03:51
Tina,
Can I give you the address of my evil ex and have you go vent this rage on him? He thought punching me in the face was a good idea earlier this year. I've got anger and rage too. Therapists over the years have had few ideas that have helped.
When I'm more grounded next week after hopefully returning to the lower 48 (out in the Maritimes currently) and having my acupuncture which will be like nirvana after all these weeks I will gather some of my rage/anger stuff and post it here to see if anything jumps out at you as a good fit.
It sounds great that you are being physical and getting out and about. And hell woman, you have a lot to be angry about. It makes sense to me that the anger and rage are building.
Did you ever get to express any of it during the marriage? Perhaps now is when ALL of it is bubbling up to the surface (some marriage stuff, some husband stuff, and probably a helluva lot of other miscelleanous stuff from way back when til now).
Like I asked Janejj in another post...it would help tremendously to remind me after the 10th to get back to you with information since my travel day home takes about 12 hours and I'm usually brainless for a day or two after coming or going from CA to the Maritimes.
Hope you had a good Canada Day. Was my first up here. I was quite pleased with the show of pride folks around here put on. Lots more Provincial flags than the Maple Leaf but that's these odd ducks out here for ya.
Will get back to you with some good rage/anger stuff once I'm back on working pc with all my info at hand and links and articles galore.
Until then be angry and let it come out. Holding it in isn't healthy (if Racer gets to be the poster child for mental health then I get to be the poster child of what happens when you repress feelings for years---you become a nut like me!)
