Face boiling with anger?

Mar 03, 2017, 07:04 PM

My face feels hot on the inside (not from touching).
It's definitely anger. But there isn't a specific cause.

This has happened a few times in recent times.
Has anyone experienced this?

Hello Obsidian: Well... I can't say as I've had this particular experience.

But I've certainly had a lot of experience with emotions causing physical symptoms. One of the ones I've experienced most, in times past, was shaking primarily from anxiety... but from anger as well. There were even a few times I can recall when I was so stressed out, I had difficulty talking.

I suppose anger & anxiety affect each of us differently.

I hope you are able to find a way to let go of the anger you are feeling.

Those angry moments come and go, but they're still there...
What I mostly fear is my face will become physically and permanently bloated overtime from all this anger/stress...

Anger can be a very unpleasant emotion. Yet it is a human emotion – so if you’re human, you too have the capacity to feel angry. Research shows that increasing one’s self-awareness can shift our emotions and stop us from acting on them. And once you increase your self-awareness and trust yourself to not act on your emotions, you may naturally feel more compassion toward yourself and the other people involved in the situation. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...y-handle-anger

Anger. Resentment. Bitterness. Yup. The process of forgiving myself and others helped. The determination these energy suckers were not helpful was insightful.

Can you help me out on what it means to not act on emotions?
I mean, I always knew I never acted on them for a long time, probably since therapy. But I sometimes think it has lead to a price - not being able to create full relationships? Because besides anger there are other emotions to experience, and am wonder how it affects relationships with people?

I feel emotionally trapped.
While people raged at me, they won over me. They are doing better than me.
I lay trapped, family can release emotions while I can't. I am trapped, can't do anything in my life because of this.
I could never release anger and fury because of my family. They wanted to domesticate me with kindness, just like my first therapist

A long time ago I asked my mom to re-appoint me to the first therapist I had. She told me he told her how "sweet" I am, talked about other positive feats of mine and he told her that I am grown up enough to appoint on my own (was over 18 by then).
I never called him back. Why? Because he called me "sweet"/"cute" behind my back. He thinks I'm a baby.
Maybe it's time I'll be a piece of **** and get mad at people just like others did to open up their emotional heart and feel more released

We have the capacity to experience a broad range of emotions. The key is to allow yourself to have all your emotions, but limit the actions that you take in response to those emotions. https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog...y-handle-anger

Such actions may consist of fighting, battling, robbing, intimidating, or throwing fits. Acting out is usually thought to be due to underlying antisocial behavior in kids and teenagers but is not set on only this age group. 2. in psychoanalytic theory, the declaration of involuntary sentimental disputes, emotions, or demands-usually sexual or demanding- through improper action, with no effort to comprehend the origination or interpretation of these actions.
