Ouch, jyl. Those boxes of feelings hurt when they aren't ventilated. Maybe you can loosen the tape a bit if you gently play with it a bit. Safely though, and maybe with a trusted therapist? Just enough to let some of the nasties leak out a bit. Then a little more and a little more until it doesn't hurt so much to open it.
I love your description. I always say that my bad feelings live in my stomach and the pressure builds and builds there. If I let them out of my stomach and actually feel them (which I do in the safety of my therapists office), it lets them dissipate, so that even though I feel just awful it somehow feels better than that pressure in my stomach.
