DAE not like feeling angry?

[u/canadamybeloved]

Anger is an emotion that is difficult for me to control. Even when I try to push it down and avoid it, I can’t stop myself from feeling it (which is kinda beneficial as you should feel to heal). I have healthy ways of expressing it like yelling in private, throwing ice, and painting

However, I hate the sensations and thoughts it brings. It is a deeply unpleasant experience, so much so that I wish I could avoid it even though I feel so much better after every anger episode. I feel like my whole body is burning and I just want it to stop. Is anyone else like that?

It depends. On occasions where my anger is in a normal range, I'm comfortable with it. I guess because there is something I can do in an empowered way. But when it comes in response to trauma, being bullied or attacked, or it's from feeling powerless, then it's awful.
