Anger is a very normal emotion. It is what we do with our anger that is very important. As we mature we realize that it is not appropriate to just throw anger around like a ball. It is also important not to let anger build up inside till you feel like you may burst. Crying, happiness, sadness, joy, anger are all normal human emotions and it is okay to have them. When we are little temper tantrums was one way of trying to express our dislike for a situation we were in. Throwing things like toys was another way of showing that we were upset. We learn at an early age that this is not proper and we are taught that when we behave this way when angry we are punished. As we grow older we realize that the tantrums no longer work and we do look pretty sillly. We either learn to deal with anger properly or we bottle it up. We look at the situation and think how can we resolve the problem that is making us feel angry and deal with it. Talking things out and expressing the frustration is a good way to resolve anger. It is wrong to lash out at others and be mean just because one gets angry. Being ill makes us feel angry inside because there is no relief, no escape, the pain is there all the time, we look for ways that help us to cope. So many times people say it is not normal to be angry, but being angry is a normal emotion, and like other emotions we own them. It is very important though to remember that anger is a normal emotion but being mean or hurtful to someone is not. Living with an illnes twenty four seven is very frustrating but learning ways to release anger in a productive way can make all the difference in the world when it comes to healing within. Let yourself feel what is okay to feel, but know that when the emotion of anger is there work it out, relax and think of ways that will make you feel better. I have been angry many times because I get frustrated being in this dp/dr all the time, I can chose to be angry or I can chose to work through the anger and let myself heal.
gem.
