I'm sorry to hear you're having such a tough time. I know that rage is so hard to deal with, and I've done some things in rage that I'm not at all proud of. It can be frightening. But if you keep working through it, it will start to get better. It takes courage, but you are very courageous.
Forgiving yourself takes courage too, but the rage comes from the pain, and it doesn't mean you're a bad person. On the contrary, you are a very good person. You are a good person who feels pain and anger for a very good reason. The rage is a natural and normal response to events that are not natural or normal. Keep reminding yourself that you are not bad, and that if you sometimes feel or do things that distress you, it is because you are suffering; you are not inherently wicked. You are a wonderful person.
