Subject: RE: BS: stay afloat while others don't
Hi keb, well done! :-)
I discovered when I was in my early 20's that I get angry when I feel powerless in a situation. That helped me to divert my attention from my own anger towards examining the situation which made me feel powerless, and then trying to find solutions to that situation or, especially if it was in the past, admitting I could do nothing about it and trying to accept that. My own feelings about my anger were made worse because I realised that when I am angry I cry, and then that makes me look like I am not in control so it was a bit of a vicious cycle until I realised how my mind and emotions were working, often against each other.
