Sounds like you have been holding too much anger in. Then it comes out like URRRRG. or something like that, really angry. I have tried to be more assertive with people, but sometimes it does not go over well, and I start holding the anger in. And, yes one can feel pain. Maybe I need to get a punching bag (and you too?). When I was at Menninger's, they used to take me down to the gym to use the punching back. Wow; what a great way to get in touch with one's anger and what it is about so it can be talked about. I remember I used to just cry and cry as I hit the punching bag, and then it would switch to feeling the anger, and I would curse and swear as I kept hitting it. I sure did find out what I was angry about. No more meek and mild me, and the depression got better too.
