As I mentioned before, the therapist correctly identified that I get overwhelmed by my emotions and attempt to turn them off. The Good, the bad, the ugly.
A large part of that comes from rejecting emotions that aren’t founded in reason or have a good explanation.
This week, twice, I have experienced irrational anger. Over the top and without true cause. I don’t know what to do with it, so I tell myself it is wrong, illogical or doesn’t make sense and force myself to push it away.
Personally, it has always seemed logical to me. The doctor thinks it is where a lot of my depression comes from. He says, the anger is real and it has to go somewhere, and the way I am dealing with it is to pull it internal. And for my effort, I get depression and anxiety.
Okay, y’all…do you agree with the doctor’s assessment in general? What do you do with anger that is not based in an actual situation or in a situation that can be changed or improved? I really could use some input here. I *think* he’s right, but I don’t know what to do from here.
Help!
I need to figure this out for me, my girls and my hubby.
