@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?

My sister worked at regions hospital (St Paul, mn)for mental health and understands me but she has Also suggested I search out someone independent of our family to talk to. I have tried male psychiatric help and for 2 meetings have wanted to kill them. I have had suicidal thoughts in New Mexico riding with friends and extreme anger when visiting the hospital with 3 medical staff people. I look back at those events and realized I had an anxiety attack every time. I’m retired 7 years and had 3 anxiety attacks at work the last 2 years I was working.
Why do psychiatrists try to make me angry... I don’t want to hurt them and wouldn’t realize I was hurting them till after.
My sister says I should work with a women and keep in touch with my sister weekly. I have forgiven my narcissistic Dad. Something is missing in my therapy that needs to be found. I know that I witnessed him hurting my Mom when I was 10 years old and other incidents but when I hear certain narcissistic selfish language i go to a dark place.
