I'm very very angry. About lots of things. One thing I recently discovered is that I try and rationalise my emotions to avoid actually having to feel them. A kind of emotional deferral. I have been doing this my whole life and it means that now I have masses of emotional baggage brewing under the surface waiting to explode at a moment's notice.

I am angry about so many things. My dad dying as young as he did, the huge portion of my life I wasted being addicted to drugs, the permanent damage that has done to my nervous and immune system. I am angry about other people's successes that I feel are undeserved. Angry at my own mediocrity, angry about my inability to do what I say I'm going to. Angry that I can't do what I want to do more than anything else in life. Angry that I moved to the other side of the world just to remove myself from a negative cycle and now I feel like to return would be suicide. The list goes on. Anyway I just wondered if other people experienced this and what they did about it?

"The past is a foreign country: they do things differently there."

That's done and dusted I can see why you could and should feel remorse about it, but wasting energy on things you can't change in the form of anger doesn't seem right to me. Look at the positives, you have a lovely wife, have got to move somewhere you wouldn't have done before.

I think you're confusing anger with regret and that can lead you down a dark path, in the words of a great prophet.

"Don't worry, be happy"

"Don't worry, be happy" beware the dark side. Anger, fear, aggression. The dark side of the Force are they. Easily they flow, quick to join you in a fight. If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny.

Anger is a killing thing: it kills the man who angers, for each rage leaves him less than he had been before - it takes something from him.

But the anger comes from somewhere else innit and still needs dealing with somehow.
