> Rage isn't my best subject.
*I don't thinks its anybodys best subject....
>
> I think many many people are afraid that their rage is powerful enough to destroy. I think they keep that rage locked tightly away.* yeah...
>
> My therapist says that's something a child tells themselves that isn't really true. That rage can't really destroy, and that it wouldn't be out of my control. That many things people fear will take them over don't really. Like people are terrified of fear. They think they'll have a panic attack so bad they'll die. But they won't really. We really can feel things and they won't take us over.*yeah, my T said a similiar thing bout tears...
>
> I don't know...*yup, its a tough one, I appreciate you giving it a shot!
>
> Well, I do know that I can experience rage at something and not destroy that thing, but I'm not sure that I can express rage at something and not destroy my attachment to that thing, or my love for it. So I have never quite believed that rage doesn't hurt. It hurts *me*. It hurts my relationships.*Well, you can rage at me Dinah, I'd still be your friend if you wanted me to be.

> I'm sorry if you feel like it's taboo or you shouldn't talk about it here. I think you *should* talk about it here. But I do understand. There are things I disclose that seem to make other people feel uncomfortable, and I have the same impulse to take them back, or at least not to put them forth anymore.
>
> But it's not taboo, and it's fine to talk about it.*Not taboo, but terrible :(
I thot of putting a trigger warning but the title was pretty explanatory...
I think most of us avoid it.
Like the elephant in the LR syndrome or something...

I SO hope you can get a handle on whats going on for you soon :(
Take care
