About

Losing control a couple of times can play havoc with your social life. Not only will people not want to be around you but you may find it hard to hold down a job. This can lead to more anger. Often others don’t understand, they think it is a lack of control on your part. Yes some people with a host of pent up anger do well at controlling the beast, but it is still there. It is always right under the surface.

Did you know there are a host of diseases that are anger related? We all know that anger based hypertension can lead to heart attacks. But did you know there are many other medical problems that have a basis in anger?

Dementia can be rooted in unresolved anger. You get so entrenched in a wrong from the past that you no longer live in the present. Problems with the gallbladder can be from feelings of anger. Think about the indignation and anger behind the saying “what gall!”

Often the anger is repressed and has to make itself known through disease. Many cancers get their start from anger, often repressed anger. The anger that is unacknowledged has to go somewhere so it comes out in a tumor.

From my own past I have experienced depression that was due to unacknowledged anger. As soon as I found the anger, the depression lifted. Before discovering the anger, I would have sworn that I wasn’t mad at anyone!

How about being fat? Often when someone can not seem to lose weight it is because it is not safe to lose the weight. The layer of fat is protection and with that need for protection there is often hidden anger. Find the anger and resolve it and the weight will melt away. This can often be emotionally draining work and will eventually require true forgiveness but it can be done.

And then there is anger at yourself which can be an underlying cause of Addison’s disease. Even Anemia can have a basis in being angry at yourself for not being able to control things.

So I ask again, how do you deal with anger?
How is that working for you?

If it is not working for you, read tomorrow’s post.
