You should see a therapist so that you can get in touch with your anger emotions so that they don't erupt and put yourself in an undesirable situation.

I am in touch with my anger. When I''m angry I tell the person off and we have a heated argument. It doesn't lead to a physical alteration because although I'm angry and giving the person a piece of my mind I do it in a cool, calm, collected manner. I refrain from profanity and threats. But I do tell them point blank that they have aroused my ire and that I don't appreciate it.

Like was posted earlier, you're going through the stages of grief. Anger will most certainly manifest itself for you in the process of healing. But if you have never expressed anger, you may possibly act out in an undesirable fashion that isn't healthy and conducive.

I always found that when my ire is aroused to confront the offender and let them no in no small terms that they have wronged me and I seek restitution, may it be an apology, damage control, etc.

Anger can be channeled properly. It seems because you've buried your anger so deep all your life, you may indeed erupt. Because of that I highly recommend therapy and group therapy daily. I was in this day program for six months where I met for group sessions/classes every week day. You get to pick and choose your classes. Anger management was one of the classes offered, but I didn't sign up for it.

When going through a crisis like divorce, I think it's beneficial to surround yourself with supportive people going through similar circumstances. When you finally make that an appointment with a therapist, I hope he/she recommends group therapy for you. And sign up for the anger management class.

I'm surprised that after you left the hospital they didn't already assign you a doctor and therapist. They normally don't let people leave without setting that up. They stress after-care immensely. They normally don't let you walk out without taking care of your post-treatment.

I give you credit for being able to live in the same house as your estranged husband under these circumstances. I probably wouldn't be able to do that, no matter how nice he was being to me. But I guess for the sake of your child, it is good to have a facade of normalcy.

I get angry, but it's controlled anger. I say my peace and move on. Expressing anger is human nature, but it has to be controlled.

Anyway, I encourage you to make an appointment with a therapist so that you can start talking about your issues, including the inability to get in touch with your anger.

I recently read about a girl who was angry and depressed because she suffers from a debilitating illness. She was so full of rage. She found an outlet by breaking sticks of wood against a tree. She said it was liberating.

When I'm angry I confront the offender and tell them how they wronged me. Sometimes I may raise my voice if they are not receptive.

The negative emotion I have issues with is crying. I'm not much of a crier. I'm usually in warrior mode when someone tries to victimize me.

Best of luck, Luntarope.
