UNDERSTAND MY ANGER



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
feel
