I Suppress My Anger

Control

By: Grits4life
Written on August 16th, 2008

This has always been somthing I do.  I'm afraid that if I let my anger show I will loose control.  So instead I hold it in and try to deal with it.

I need to express it when I feel it but the fear of loosing control wins out. 

If any one has any adivce on how I can get passed this please let me know.

    wow ... grits you nailed it for me. 'losing control'-- that's my entire life, in a nutshell. There are so many things I can not control- so what I can, I hold onto for dear life. hugs to you, hun xxoo T~

    side notes: my sweet Josie, I had no idea you and I shared this trait.

    dying to connect: ' it seems to result in me feeling lost and bad about myself. I always second-guess myself as well, so I'm not really sure of what to reveal.' -- you and I share this as well. Hand on heart, I thought I was the only one. hugs to you, as well xxoo T~

    I feel the same. If I ever do let my anger out or talk about what is bothering me, it seems to result in me feeling lost and bad about myself. I always second-guess myself as well, so I'm not really sure of what to reveal. I manage this in some weird ways sometimes, but I always distance myself from people because of it.

    Me too. I'll bite my tongue, hold my breath and just walk away. It's how I deal with some tense situations that I could really lose control over. No advise, your not alone.
