Hi, I'm not sure if anyone needs to hear this but I feel it needs to be said.
You are allowed to be angry. When stuff happens (even small, inconsequential things. Or nothing at all!) you can get upset! Being angry is so stigmatized, with all this "forgive and forget" and "let go of anger, it will only bring you down". It's all bullshit. That might have worked for them but it might not work for you. Be angry! Be upset! Be frustrated, and pissed, and livid! Anger is NOT a bad thing. And it's actually really good fuel if wielded right. Do things out of spite of it helps you. You need to take care of yourself and that means being in tune with your emotions and acknowledging them. Scream into a pillow, hit something, kick, flail, write an angsty sonnet, rip up paper and then throw it in the air and kick all the pieces, go to the gym, listen to hardcore and angry songs, stab a marker repeatedly on paper and make art. Whatever. Don't let others dictate your feelings. Once you get through the bursts you'll be able to think more clearly, don't just suppress it and let it fester. You WILL implode/explode.
Also! This is for the people who feel obligated to only have happy emotions towards their loved ones: you can get mad at people and still love them. And vice versa. Even if something happened and it hurt you but nobody really meant any harm. You can be upset. Just because it wasn't intentional doesn't make it hurt any less. You can just be mad at the situation in general, nobody has to be singled out.
I love you. And I want you to be happy, and that means being mad sometimes. All of the emotions, they are okay to feel. I promise. <333
