UNDERSTAND MY ANGER
I had an instantaneous, unforeseen, insult to my head.
It's result and effect on my life has had me so incredibly
mad! All my many dreams of the future, my hopes and my
goals, all changed and I can't help that it has made me
incredibly sad.
You think and say that I look the same as before. You
act like if I tried hard enough I could still be just the
same. In your unrealistic expectations of trying to accept
the "new" me, your pressure and demands have made me feel,
in your eyes, lost and lame.
Don't misunderstand that I am not grateful or immensely
thankful. Yes, I am very aware that my injury could be
considerably worse. Please, just don't ask me to pretend
it is easy or ask me to try harder to minimize. Because
today, my life, my losses, my reality, feels much like a
curse.
Someday I am sure I will have the ability to let go of
this incredible pain. But it has to be handled my way, in
my time frame, not any demand of yours. Please just try to
be patient and loving as I am truly doing the best I can.
Some injuries and their aftermath unfortunately don't have
instantaneous cures.
My exasperation and fury come from my internal frustration,
at all the things that were once easy, and now are so
difficult for me to do. Please just try showing me some
sincere understanding and empathy, remember things are not
nearly as easy for me to do as they are for you.
I don't like to allow myself such feelings of wrath or
outrageous anger, over emotions I no longer seem to be able
to keep under control. My agitation certainly doesn't mean
that I don't need love or feel appreciation, it just means
that I am struggling very hard with this unwanted role.
I believe I will feel much less anger, when I eventually no
longer feel
