Just what the subject line says.. In short, I have absolutely never experienced anger or rage (that I can recall). I do remember one time being so mad I wanted to hit something.. but by the time I got the opportunity to do so, I was already reduced to a puddle of tears and this took place in all of ten minutes. (The tears, however, lasted 45 mins at the very least.) So I guess I remember being angry once.. but that's it.
Even now, going through divorce, dealing with the fact I feel I have no one I can trust enough to open up to because not only am I losing my marriage of ten years, but I also had a friend of nearly 20 years literally turn their back on me.... even though my estranged husband and his family are trying to take my daughter away from me... I have no anger.
It's like.. it doesn't exist. I just feel hurt.. and all the emotions associated with hurt. And I wish I felt anger because anger is pure. It's crisp. It's motivating...
But I feel none of that. I'm told it's unhealthy. That ALL emotions should be felt and dealt with accordingly. But I'm starting to worry that somehow I have mastered the art of burying my anger and since I can't find it, I have no idea how I am going to deal with it if/when it decides to erupt.
Thoughts? Suggestions? Anyone having the same issues with a 'negative' emotion?
