What Made You Angry Today?

Not open for further replies.
The unfairness of having been victimized and abused as a child and being disabled with PTSD and Depression because of it is really making me angry today. I am pis*ed off, I did not deserve to be treated that way or to have my quality of life restricted, due to other people's evil actions!!!

I am just beginning to get angry, i haven't been able to get to this level of anger before...my rage seems righteous and justified. I want to harness the angry energy, turn it into positive action, and advocate for abused children and adults through petition, education, etc.....(whatever means that I can find)!

Although expressing my anger might help....I will write in my diary about it later.
 
I tried to make a general statement and wound up in the middle of something I said I was going to stay out of. And as a result one of my biggest triggers got pulled. Now I'm an emotional crying angry shaking mess and I feel like I can't talk to anyone about it.

And it kind of pissed me off that I specifically said I didn't want to get into it because it was making me hypervigilant and the person I was talking to was so upset by the topic they just kept talking and I wound up triggered and crying and shaking.

I kind of feel like saying "PEOPLE please realize that when I tell you I'm hypervigilant that it took a lot to say it so PLEASE respect that it means that in that moment I'm struggling and I need you to STOP".

And it makes me angry that I had a relaxing morning planned and now I have to spend I don't know how long trying to calm down and get grounded again.
 
@BlackbirdSinging (((hugs))) I get it. It is like an homing signal sometimes for the other's thought process and they speed up the dump of their conversation.

For me...I enforce my boundaries this way...I say excuse me and go to the bathroom. If in a car traveling then I am screwed. I am therefore taking my headset (like the teens with me) for those occasions. I am tired of flashbacks from triggering conversations. xx Hope this helps so sorry for your pain. xx
 
@jaccat That sounds really strange...and I'm sorry to hear that. Glad to have you back, too. ;)

I'm angry at my best friend's family who just don't listen. I told them to start early because of the traffic jam and I told them the best route to avoid traffic jam....now, we sit here and wait because...where are they? Yeah, in the traffic jam! :meh:
