"The Silent Strain: How to Address and Express Hidden Anger Effectively"
A few months ago, I conducted a survey asking respondents various questions designed to uncover the often-hidden struggles and challenges individuals face in their daily lives. Sixty percent of respondents replied in one question that they hide their anger or frustration from others. I am not surprised by this response as I am guilty of doing this as well. I left an abusive marriage after 17 years and found myself waking up in a psych ward after attempting suicide as I thought that was my only avenue of escape. I later learned that depression (which led to the suicide attempt) is anger turned inwards.
