Misplaced Anger.
Sometimes I notice myself being overcome with rage at little to no provocation.
Rage is absolutely terrifying when you can’t see it coming.
I find myself having breakdowns over small irritations or lashing out at those I love.
Trauma repressed an anger within me that’s forced to find alternate ways to be felt.
I’m so inherently angry for events I often refuse to accept, that I end up fixating on insignificant things to artificially ease my pain.
It’s much easier to be angry than it is to feel grief.
This misplaced anger fractures relationships, creates a perpetual anxiety, and is yet another source of overwhelming guilt.
And yet, confronting the source of my emotional distress is far more terrifying than embracing my rage.
