it does sound VERY rough having to deal with so much and feeling attacked from all sides like that.

for dealing with your anger, there are a few things you can try.. write down all your feelings then take the paper and destroy it - rip it burn it scribble on it with heavy markers.. you can use art to draw your feelings or paint. you can find some old junk or something and take it somewhere (like a dump? or just out to your trash can?) and break it. beat the heck out of it, smash it, destroy it, and toss it. if you want to simply find a way to calm down, again art is good. or anything that occupies your hands and mind just enough to distract you but not so much it's challenging you. something like coloring or knitting. coloring is one of the most calming activities people can do. sounds silly, but it's true.

anyhow, i hope you find some way to relieve these intense feelings.

Hi Invisigirl,

I am staying with my parents right now and I'm stuck in translation. I'm supposed to move to a new city but I'm waiting on my uncle to come help me (whos' in another city). I can't move there myself because its not like US. To even get an apartment, I have to have a job or my family there pretending liek they'll stay with me. Thats how tough it is to get an apt here, so I need his help.

And thankyou for the writing suggestion, I did take it up last night and wrote that letter that I talked about in the other post. But I feel like that's not working for me

It never has. The only time that works for me is when i actually send it. Which in this case I'm trying very hard not to, i think about sending it a lot but I'm not gonna.

So i'm still stuck with the anger.. I'll try coloring or something along those lines and see.

Thankyou!
