I used to tell my therapist that I didn't store anger with the memories where it would be appropriate. That I stripped the anger from the experiences and stored it in a big "anger" room. Then sometimes when the door of the anger room got cracked open, all the anger that I'd stored burst out of the door with the current anger, and my anger would far exceed the current situation.
I'm not saying there's no reason for being angry with what you describe. Of course there is. But you're also under a great deal of stress. Is it possible that lots of anger got mixed in with it? Especially given that the stress from job hunting might trigger some feelings you may have about being a med student, or something along those lines, yourself?
It would be perfectly understandable, and possibly could be helpful to explore some of that with your therapist, or with some other professional? Are you no longer considered a student? I thought you'd mentioned taking classes this year, so I'm not sure.
