New emotions

[Meg]

This may seem like kind of a weird post, but I just got back from a therapy session and wanted to share because it feels profound to me. Today I got angry about the fact that I was repeatedly sexually assaulted when I was with my ex boyfriend, about the things that led up to it, and about the way that I was treated afterwards. I had a little rant! Anger is not an emotion that I am very familiar with - somewhere along the line I managed to stop feeling many negative emotions and got a bit numb. So, I am feeling a bit bemused because I wasn't expecting it at all...but also kind of proud.

I think my therapist was a bit surprised lol. She smiled lots.

The first word that comes to mind, Meglet, is congratulations! Sometimes, we have to get really angry and let it all out. That sounds like exactly what you did.

Thanks ThatLady

It only took me 5 years . I guess that's better than never, though!

Hi Meglet

I am proud of you for releasing that anger that was probably built up for quite sometime. It must feel very freeing to be rid of that anger inside.

Congrats. Good Job :goodjob:

Hi Meglet,
I personally wanted to say I am glad you felt safe to get your rant in, it not easy to do. I am so glad you shared this with us, I am so proud of you, wanted to let you know. I remember a few of my rants, oh no!!
Take care :hug:
