I get depressed and very very very very angry. My mind goes back to a traumatic incident that happened years ago. I do not think about what actually happened, but what could have happened (but did not - worst case scenario) and I feel helpless. I want to be powerful to handle the issues of life, but I am vulnerable. I realize that I cannot be ALL powerful, but still fantasize about trying to be. Be cause I cannot, I am filled with ANGER. What do I do? Any help is appreciated!!

Are you going to any type of therapy? A therapist can help you go through past events and get them figured out in yor mind. Anger management is another option. It isn't fun to be filled with anger.

I hope that you feel better soon. Keep posting and know that we all care about you.

Hugs, Karen

Hi Shingarey,

I can suggest you get the book "Anger" by Thich Nhat Hanh from the library, it is an easy read.

That along with some therapy will put you in a much better place with this traumatic event. You will be able to process it fully and let it go.

You will also be able to accept and learn about you limitation on anger and emotions.

I wish you peace

Trina
