I believe this is a big key to the understanding of that verse. Your response, what you do with the anger, that is where you have to be careful.

But I remember walking around angry at the world and not knowing how to deal with that anger. I ended up taking it out on myself, cutting and eating disorder and drugs. NOw I'll write or go for a hike or run. And I've learned something about anger...it's not bad to be angry and the unfairness of life but I am responsible for how I release it.

What I CAN tell you is that you are not alone. And if writing about it and getting some feedback from your fellow "feelers-of-anger" helps in even the slightest of ways. (which is what I generally do-write, write, and then write some more) that's what I recommend.

Anger is one of my weak points. I give into my anger more than I would like. Anger and fear do seem to go hand-in-hand, don't they? I hadn't thought about that before.

Laughing is good, and I need to intentionally seek it out. Thanks for that reminder.<br /><br />I usually take it out on myself in a lot of emotional and mental self-harm. Which is not as dangerous, but still quite unhealhty. Keeping busy is good. I need to find a balance between throwing myself into so many things I don't have time to think and shutting myself away from everything.

Boom! This is exactly what I'm dealing with. Some pain and some fear.<br /><br />Faith has been tough lately. But I have it. And thinking about it in this instance leads me to the another verse that hops around in my mind - from Mark 9:24 "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!" There is a lot of faith in that.

Cross it at your own risk" more or less. You are in a difficult place and I know when I had three small children, raising them on my own, there was plenty of things that "made me angry" then some really special teachers came into my life and said "no one can make you angry, that I chose that in the space of my fear of failing" Big hugs and thank you for sharing. These are the timeless lessons of life.

I tend to sad more than angry but either way you need to figure out the root cause of those feelings and deal with that or you will be doomed to constantly relive it. In the mean time you need some coping skills to apply. Like Kimberly, I work out my frustrations by cleaning like a crazy lady. My house never looks better. And talking - getting out is a fantastic way to release those negative feelings before you explode. Another thing that works for me is to ask myself will this matter in a year or more from now. Sorry about the babble. Hang in there Tracy.

I often take it out on myself in the form of self-harm which is obviously unhealthy.<br />I keep busy. I get out and pound my feet on the pavement. I clean like mad (no pun) and I actually seclude myself from others (which also may not be healthy but it keeps me from unleashing the fury) or and Pinterest...check out the humor section.
