Anger is a touchy subject to discuss. Understandably. No one wants to feel it, or deal with someone who is angry.
But, do you understand how important it is to feel anger? Do you understand how stuffing down your emotions, your anger, and your responses to anger can make you physically ill?
Living with an emotionally abusive person can make you physically ill, particularly if you are repressing your emotions in order to live peacefully with that emotionally abusive person.
Is there any wonder why stuffing down your emotions can make you physically ill? Is there any doubt that the stress of worrying about that person who threatened to kill you might actually TRY to kill you can make you sick to your stomach, cause you to lose sleep, lose your appetite, give you a headache?
There are many ways to deal with your anger. Some people recommend breaking glass, or taking a bat to old cars or old computers. But that requires a special area, and requires some form of clean-up due to the broken glass, equipment, etc.
I recommend throwing beanie babies against the wall to get your anger out. They don't leave marks on the wall, don't require clean up, and they make a really satisfying thud against the wall. You can throw as hard as you like, and don't have to worry about the damage. Try it. You might be surprised at how well it works. And, how much better you'll feel.
