I wish I was fearless...

My therapist says she doesn not see any signs of anger in my face or voice when I talk about the things that made me angry or hateful in my life. She says I can't show my anger bc I am always afraid to break or lose something important, a relationship, a heart or a friend...this anger has been accumulated in me for years and now I feel my heart and brain are waning...

So... let it out. You're anger, just do it in a constructive way.
We all get pissed.
Get pissed. Go buy some cheap dishes at a resell shop, take them home and smash the shit outta them.
Listen to some rock music while youre doing it.
Oh, I know, yell at someone through your windshield.

@SW-User ...so whats the fear, what exactly are you afraid will happen if you let it out?

@StraightLacedLADY the fear of me ruining something or getting someone upset

@SW-User so ruin something small and if someone happens to be around, once you embraced your anger, if you explained to them you're working through something, they'd understand and be supportive. Wouldn't you if some said " hey, sorry, didnt mean to (fill in the blank) im just working through some stuff..."
I mean, imagine seeing someone struggling like you, what would you do to support you?
Most people are more understanding than we realize.
