Very poignant, and very true for many of us. For me, it's anger and frustration--often righteous anger and frustration--that I try to keep inside, try to silence that pushes to be heard in some form or another. Writing does ease the build-up.
I have had a bit of therapy for this one (quite an understaement regarding the "bit" of therapy part) and have found some rather silly (on the surface anyway) methods for dealing with the urges. In actuality, anything that helps one express themself is some manner, and enables them to be heard and their feelings acknowledged is quite helpful, even if they still feel the urges--or even act on them, it is an active step towards recovery.
My heart goes out to you, and my thoughts are with you!
