Not to mention that there's other stuff going on that's irritating me too...but now I'm just feeling highly agitated and there's this inner anger, and I have a headache, ug, and I feel like there's nothing I can do to get rid of this rage. I don't have time to deal with it because I have a meeting with my freelance client (which I'm also irritated about, that's another story) and I don't want my inner rage to affect my meeting with this client.

Does anyone else get these PTSD rages triggered by memories of their trauma?

In past, I tended to turn them inward and into self-loathing which made me feel even worse. I've been taking my anger and frustrations from those experiences out on the elliptical machines. My legs are starting to look like I've been doing this my whole life. Guess I have more anger than I thought. Hmm...
I hope you find a safe outlet.
Thanks for this!
