what worked for me was/is comedy.....you really need to forgive yourself for being angry in the first place, so find ways to laugh at yourself.

karaoke is a great one, the more you don't wanna get up there, the more you should.....sing a stupid song while doing jumping jacks or jumping on a trampoline until you are laughing hysterically at yourself......change your focus to things you can laugh at.

there are a bunch of hilarious video's on youtube for example, a good starter is one called "kids rock"....familiar kids songs sung by famous people...sooooooo funny!

laughter is such a release! you don't need to release things in an angry way to get them out, you really can laugh things out.

trust me, i am the happiest person i know, but have probly been trhough more crap than anyone i know either.....forgive yourself for being angry....laugh at yourself for being angry.....when you are alone, you can laugh yourself into good cry too.

i have done it. i have laughed at myself. but it is getting so real for me right now. i don't want to use humor as a form of escape. humor is great therapy but i won't laugh at myself to just make things go away.

and i agree and think you are right, that i need to forgive.

and if you are the happiest person you know then you are a resilient and powerful person. exactly the type of person that i wish i was.

but still, don't allow your greatest strength which is resilience to be your downfall. if you have had so much happen to you then it needs to come to light.

or you will die or laughter.

i speak this with the greatest love and respect.
