I used to be all bottled up
I used to keep it to myself
That ended poorly
Anger doesn’t go away
Kept inside
It builds up
Pressurized fury
Destructive force
I verbalized my anger
Everything I was angry about
All the things you did to me
I let them spill out
Weeping from the pain
I was a mess
But I let the anger go
It left me feeling relieved

What I have come to find out is that there are only two ways of releasing anger: verbal or behavioral. Additionally, through experience I have learned that you don’t want behaviorally express your anger.
Anger has to come out some way and sharing your feelings of anger, or what you are angry about with a trustworthy friend, who can listen and support you is probably your best option. Other options include talking with a counselor, or just talking out loud about your feelings of anger. I am sure there are countless other ways to verbalize your anger. I would urge you to take care of this, so that it doesn’t come out behaviorally in ways that you cannot control. The worst behavioral method of expressing anger is a Passive-Aggressive expression.

So true. Letting it come out in our behavior isn’t the best way. I’ve been guilty of being passive aggressive. It comes about when I feel trapped in a situation where it isn’t safe for me to express my anger verbally. I started using journaling to help get out as much as I could. It helped quite a bit.

Yes! Journaling is so helpful. I find that when I am able to speak it to myself out loud I can get most of it out. Tears usually follow, flushing out all the bad stuff. 😀

Thanks for sharing Nadine… so do I. I am working to speak out my anger when I am in control with someone I can trust rather than taking it out on a loved one.
