Do you really think so? Sometimes I feel like my emotions are kicked up way too high, distorted and out of proportion. Other times they are not apparent at all.
I try to go with the flow, tell myself that it's natural - for me.
My last (and not very good) therapist told me anger was "bad". I thought that anger was an emotion like any other - neither good nor bad, just there, a natural part of us. I'm not effective at expressing it. It usually ends badly for me. I either keep it in and let it fester until it comes out like a bolus of poison, misunderstood... or else I cry and cry instead of putting the anger into words.I'm a grownup. You'd think I'd have it figured out by now. But my growth has been stunted for a very long time, and learning how to express myself effectively and in a healthy way is difficult for me. I keep trying. I keep trying.
