It's more a release of pressure. I don't think I acknowledge to even myself my anger, or whatever feelings lie behind the anger.
I'm not sure about the visible aspect. It's just what the urges are about. They tend to be specific. In reality I don't think I'd do anything visible, since it would bring the same concern to others that I'm trying to avoid by not expressing whatever it is I'm feeling.
Thanks for the offer, Laurie. I appreciate it. But I think I'll head off to bed and curse my inability to sleep for an hour or two before dropping off. It's gotten to be sort of a ritual for me.
And most likely the urges will be gone by morning, like they usually are. So I should be ok.
You know, even in posting this I recognize that I'm coming across as rather flat and calm. The feelings are buried so deep.
I've mentioned it to my therapist in passing. He's pretty much ignored my mentions. I guess he figures it's been so long since I acted on them that they're not really important. But he didn't even say anything when I told him I bit myself the other day. Just that it was understandable under the circumstances. I guess since it just left a bruise, and I didn't break the skin.
