vanButterfly Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 I'm so angry over this breakup thing. How do others get rid of their anger? Anger over mixed signals, angry over ex's telling their partner how much they care, angry about ex's not wanting to let go or keep you on some string.... I read it here all over the postings. It gives me energy but sometimes I just burst into tears or I am so angry I feel nervous. The gym helps but at 11pm it doesnt really help. And there is only so many times you can call someone to vent. I know that it's something we have to pass _through_ but does anyone have any thing that helps them that may help others? The emotional rollercoaster is exhausting. I am so tired over it.
riobikini Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Certainly, don't let the anger get out of hand: vent in appropriate places, and in ways that aren't going to get you thrown in jail. Seriously. It's a stage a lot of folks go through, though some seem to bypass it. I guess it depends on your developed coping methods, as well as a lot of other (hidden and obvious) complicated things. Like everything, it ranges from individual to individual. Remember that anger is an emotion that we are responsible for controlling and dealing with in appropriate ways. Know (also) that it normally passes. And once you're past it, you can go through other stages that eventually lead to more 'normal-feeling' emotions -a few more smiles, even laughter- later on down the road. -Rio
B-3128 Posted September 26, 2006 Posted September 26, 2006 Don't repress it. My anger lingers when I don't address it and get it out. I regret bypassing my anger. Some people have trouble understanding that despite your collectedness on the surface, inside, you have feelings just like them and just like people who scream and shout. He with the loudest voice is not he who is affected most by something. They're just better at expressing it... and other people understand that. Make sure you're understood. B
