All these incidents with family have helped the anger grow. I feel it all inside me. It hurts . I feel it all over. I have tried to read and learn and somehow conquer it but here it is again. A mind full of painful recent pitiful hurts. I hope my appointment tomorrow will help.

I want to learn how not to be so angry. How to take a moment to figure things out. Really listen to what is being said. Learn to have some compassion for the other person. Recognize their pain. Learn that it isn't actually about me . It is more about them. Learn patience and self ontrol. Learn to respond in simple ways. Learn how to avoid situations that are surely going to go wrong. Avoid guilt that I do not need to feel. Avoid people who are going to get me. Be okay with stepping back. Focus on my own life and take care of me.

A very healthy post in my opinion.

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.

I think you have a point. Also I can't seem to manage the anger I feel over a really painful event . I have been through various stages. Once forgiveness, then anger again over another painful time. Oh the anger that arises.
