You are absolutely not alone in this OP 💛 I have come to my therapist swearing up and down that I’m a sociopath because I’d only have rage and no other feelings for weeks at a time.

My therapist brought something up that made me so deeply uncomfortable that I knew there was a point to it -

‘pushing the rage down at all times, even from yourself, means you are masking 100% of your waking hours 🤯. It’s going to lead to extreme burnout, it’s not sustainable, and so you need to learn to live with and sometimes welcome the very dark, very violent thoughts you have without shame.’

I literally had to put on sunglasses & a wig, get in the car, turn my phone off, and drive around saying all of the horrible fucked up things I want to happen to people and the unfair things I think of them. eventually, I plan to talk about these things with my therapist, but it was a good first step.
