I've recently learned that when I am most anxious I am actually not anxious at all, I'm angry. I might be a bit anxious but I am mostly just plain angry. I am so angry that I don't even understand it as anger. I can't express it as anger, just fear. What I've been doing is acknowledging that I AM angry and when I let myself FEEL the anger my anxiety goes down, way down.
In the past I was always a very very angry person but the past say 8 years I noticed that my anger disappeared. I guess I found out where it went. I just don't understand how this came about. Why can't I express anger anymore? Why can't I feel it properly? I just wish I understood my emotions.

I'm not sure what is happening, but I've heard many times that anger is actually a cover for underlying feelings such as hurt.
Are you seeing a therapist? He/she might be able to help you get at the source of your feelings.
