I’ve struggled with my anger for years. I don’t take my anger on others though and mostly keep it to myself, usually repressing it or just ruminating and withdrawing from others.

But I still can’t get over wanting revenge on those who have hurt me deeply, especially if they’re still part of my personal life. I’ve withdrawn, I’ve created distance, and I’ve lessened contact as much as possible. I don’t act my anger out and I don’t do any outwardly revenge-seeking actions. Nothing is working though.

I’m so angry all the time I can barely function well. I don’t feel at peace ever.

Anyone here who desires revenge but, due to reasons, knows that it’s just not doable and you’re stuck sitting with these feelings? If you’ve got advice on how to cope with it, please share.

Otherwise, I mean, if you’ve got healthy ways of revenge, I’d like to hear it.

I can’t figure out what to do. I don’t think I’ll ever stop being angry but I’m always “out for blood,” wanting revenge so badly. I also don’t understand what I really want either. I’m genuinely confused on how to cope.

I have to expel all the anger here or I'm going to lose my mind! I feel a pressure building on my chest, on my heart.

I hold all my energy and pain in my chest/heart and I am becoming more aware of the need to flush out the feelings and relieve my aching heart. I have to be able to regulate my emotions better. I don't wanna lash out on people that are trying to care for me anymore. I'm a grown ass adult and I need to be able to not let the anger take me over to the point where I yell and scream and hit things. That's childish behavior and I can't believe I have let anger take over me. I have seen the people I love be terrified to be around me and that's clearly NOT okay. It breaks my heart to think that people are scared of me. This isn't me. Who tf is this horrible person? I never in my wildest dreams thought this is where I'd be today. No husband, no job, very few friends, and no family. And guess who made that happen? I did. I single-handedly ruined my life. Good job girl! Way to go! 👎 You fucking idiot! You fucking waste of space. Lying sack of shit. You do belong in the ditch! These are the things I say to myself because this is how I think of myself. I have hurt the most important person in my life because of my choices. I would do anything to make it right but I feel that ship has sailed and they will never forgive me for making them feel unwanted and like trash. You are not trash and you never have been. I loved you so much. You were my world, my bestie, my lover, and my home. We have been through so much together. So many good things, so many challenging things, so many things meant to break us apart, but pushed us closer together. As a team. Just you and me against the world. But here we are today because of the shitty choices I made and I will be forever reminded of that. Please tell your parents that I'm very sorry for breaking their son's heart. I really do hope this helps you a little bit. This is all I can do now.

So why do men feel entitled to be angry at women they don’t even know . I have noticed an increase of hatred towards women and this is coming from men that have partners ??? Two examples one road rage yelling at a pregnant woman with a toddler in a car because he is rushing to get a parking spot . Another one with his partner looking at woman in front of him she looks confused to have him just give her an angry stare for no reason . Can someone please explain?? Any similar situations ??
