Growing up I went through 12 surgeries for cleft lip and palate. I was also molested by a pedophile. At college I was raped. Needless to say I was one hell of an angry person. I threw things when I was angry, and self injured. One day I got this bright idea and here's what that was.

I bought a 3 ft high helium balloon and a sharpie along with other balloons that weren't helium. On the 3 ft balloon I wrote every reason I was angry, and why I was justified in my anger. On the smaller non-helium balloons I targeted specific individuals. I.E. why I was angry at the pedophile, the rapist, my mom etc. I tied all the smaller balloons to the helium balloon and then went outside and let them go and watched them float away for God to deal with. The release was immense. Since that day I have not had an angry outburst or otherwise misdirected my anger at anybody. I've done the same thing with suicidal thoughts and it actually kept me from attempting suicide. I just watched in peace as my suicidal thoughts floated away. Very powerful.

I hope this helps somebody like it helped me. Thanks for listening.

Love and Hugs,
Tara
