I will feel just wonderful if it's helpful for you crying...

I'm repeating an answer to PianoGirlPlay's post about anger

...as I think I learned something more about this.

There is something very much the same about being angry all the time, being afraid all the time, feeling guilty all the time, behaving or thinking or feeling automatically or compulsively, then subconsciously dealing with this by procrastinating, avoiding people or experiences and ending up feeling sad, trapped, and joyless and not knowing how to escape.

I personally think that this is all a consequence of subconsciously turning away from your own inner decision making processes - your own inner self. This is almost the same as "not being in the moment" as they say. I think that this is the key to escape.
