T said I don't have to sulk; that I can be angry girl. That actually sounds appealing but I have no idea how to get there.

That's the question, isn't it? Is it really safe to let the anger out? When you feel like killing someone in the strongest way, for instance? Will the therapist guarantee safety? Is there no such thing as police with guns in society? Are they really your friends? Is the legal system your friend if you get out of control? Is it really?
Now I understand a lot more (I think I always did understand some) about people like the Columbine High School killers, about the latest Finnish incident, about September 11, about Marriott Hotel bombings -- some people blow up when their lives appear to have no hope and no one listens. When all the dear leaders of the world can do is condemn as evil. When mental health professionals deny that abuse or childhood trauma have anything to do with anything. When places that you go to for help censor.
Most people do not blow up. Most people give up.
