Well, it’s been a rough year for all of us but the Truth about my search for a happier life has brought forth a battle with the past. I have been able to calm my anxiety attacks but i have been tagged with sporadic bursts of anger. I know where it’s coming from. My Dad. Something appears from the past and suddenly I want to hurt people.

@stsopoci The good thing is that you are being insightful enough to understand where a source of your bursts of anger come from! This is great - you have something to work on, and face. Nope, not always a pleasant task, but work on making it rewarding. How is it you want to hurt people? Have you sought out counseling or therapy to help you?

@stsopoci I wanted to check in. It has been a tough year for many people. When we "work" on ourselves difficult emotions can come up. Often times these feelings are something we have suppressed for a long time. Due to our suppressing these emotions we don't always know how to effectively "handle" these unfamiliar difficult emotions.

You said that you felt sporadic bursts of anger that relate to your father. May I ask how you are taking care of yourself through these difficult emotions and what does your support system look like?
