FRENZIED FEROCITY

Tuesday Jan. 8, 2019

Do you get angry?

I mean ‘pure rage stage’ angry, blue air, shortness of breath and ache in your gut angry?

Me too …

Not often.

I did recently. I’ve been trying to figure it out. Breaking events down, examining ‘what I’m really mad about’ vis-à-vis what someone said/did that so infuriated me …

I didn’t blow my top, didn’t hit ‘send’ too quickly – was clear and focused – but before I was clear and focused I was for a short time outside my own skin with furry.

No new feeling – I’ve had short-fuse frustrations my whole life. Mostly contained, restrained and kept off centre-stage. When it leaks out everyone knows. I’m not a poker player, I cannot hide my emotions very well. Never have. Not clear on whether that is good or bad – it just is.

Reader feedback:

HIGH PROBABILITY OF CERTAINTY

WOW - scary but so relevant. I would like to be in your head for just one day. Best to you, MK, Calgary, AB
