Self-empowerment
    #23941775 - 12/19/16 09:20 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

Standing up for oneself.
Asserting oneself as valid.

If one has never done it, is it usual to expect anxiety even at age 29?

Take baby steps?

Every time I am threatened I just go FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU---------

I figure it's something I never learned to do because I was abused.

So I figure, further, that I should definitely approach it slowly...

Coupling that with brain chemistry problems,

I really have the potential to lose my shit.

After it, I feel waaaaay better...

Suppressed rage? Repressed rage?

How to solve this?

How to release rage? I don't want to hurt anybody, ever, that would be stupid.

I've finally learned that to get angry does me no real good.  So, it's better to not get all pissed off it just gets your/my adrenaline rushing which feels good in a fight or flight way.  There's no solution, it's probably best to let the pressure release naturally without going off completely.  Probably best to avoid people that piss you off, too.

Some people are just annoying, or love to push buttons, or are just plain angry themselves.  I have a neighbor who is like that and he's no longer welcome to drop by or to even say anything to me.  That's how you need to treat a jerk, just ignore them.  You can treat your rage like that, it's no longer welcome to bubble up and spew forth.

Anger and rage are very creative forces. If you can learn how to channel these feelings for positive purposes then those energies are very useful.

Otherwise they're quite harmful in a total mind, body, spirit way.

I think the question then should be, how to re-route those energies rather than how to express them.

This is what has worked for me - healthy eating for my constitution, yoga, meditation, yoga nidra, aromatherapy.

It doesn't always work perfectly, but for the most part I am able to channel my temper into my work and creative pursuits and on a day to day basis find I have way less "rage" episodes than I used to.

Not at all, just go for long walks as far as exercise goes. Someone suggested exercise will do something like this, like 'bodywork' effectively, since the emotions are apparently stored in the body.

Anxiety & post traumatic stress are critical to our psyche and have helped our species survive.

Repetitive thoughts about potential danger, negativity, and past trauma are important for survival. 

These phenomena aren't rooted in defective brain chemistry. They are a result of evolution.

I agree with what others have said above about exercise, it really helps in a huge way.

You could start small, do 50 pushups and run 1 mile daily, that shouldn't be overkill for you, usually after I do 20 pushups I start to feel much better about the day ahead, and my thinking smooths out big time, by the time I do 100 I feel amazing, at 200 I want to put my head through a wall because of feeling so nice.:lol:

I realized I had done some damage to my reward centers of my brain by using hard drugs for a while, exercise is the main thing which has allowed me to get on a path of proper thought, and I will always do it.

I really think health is a body, mind, soul thing, and you have to work on all three.

anger is like an acid that damages the own vessel it's in or something like that

Thinking I might have to hit the mushrooms for abreactive purposes in May.

If I honestly just let out what I'm feeling by being myself, far out man... Feels good, but far out. I like to stay in pure consciousness if I can, I think that also purifies the "emotional system" or body-mind etc.

Just decided to assert myself a little, with a lot more control and concern for others.

Feels god damn good and healthy.

Before I think brain complications were making it explosive. No matter how much anger is "in there" it doesn't have to blow up in some stranger's face.
