Shout out to everyone who was forced to internalize all their emotions growing up...

... and now have a constant underlying anger that colors every part of their lives because they never got to learn how to process their feelings.

Mine isn't anger..I have really messed up anxiety because I wasn't allowed to process emotions.

@SW-User I'm sorry to hear that. *hugs*

@Tinkerxbell it's okay. I am lucky enough to know when I'm overwhelmed and can deal with it.

@SW-User I don't know how, but you do kick ass!

@Viper I'm old..I have had anxiety since I was smol..panic attacks started in my 20s..identifying my triggers, understanding my physical responses to it, that helps. Therapy also helped me to become aware, and to process it safely without cutting a bitch.
