Does your illness trigger anger in you?
Chronic illness can take a toll on your body. Exhaustion that comes from endless pain and illness is often overwhelming, and suffering from a chronic illness can also cause emotional pain – for you and your loved ones too.
Do you sometimes feel angry because of your illness? Whether it happens every now and then or all the time, you are angry that you:
- Can’t do your favorite activities?
- Missed spending time with friends and family?
- Feeling exhausted and sick all the time?
- Have an illness that feels like your body is turning against itself – or that someone has told you that your body is attacking itself, only to later learn that that’s not true?
- Feel like it’s not fair that you’re constantly struggling?
- Do you seem to be the only one who has to eat and live differently, while everyone else can eat whatever they want and feel good?
- Spent all your money and savings trying the next best thing, only to find that it didn’t actually help you feel better?
- Constantly having to justify yourself to others who don’t understand why you don’t eat the way they do, or even make fun of you?
Let me tell you that it’s understandable if you’re angry about your illness. And you’re right – it’s really NOT fair that you always feel tired and weak. It’s frustrating when you have to give up activities and hobbies because you feel like you can no longer do them. Illness can be very isolating, and you have every right to be angry.
However, let’s try to channel your anger in a healthier way. While it’s important to get in touch with and be aware of these feelings, dwelling on negative emotions can have a negative impact on your mental and physical health. While it’s okay to feel anger, it can create toxicity in the body: it can worsen current health problems by releasing adrenaline and cortisol, which feed the underlying viruses. Did you know that the most toxic substance to our body that feeds these viruses is our own toxic adrenaline?
It’s no secret that constant feelings of anger or stress can worsen health problems such as:
- high blood pressure
- Digestive problems
- Clinical depression and anxiety
- Heart disease
- weakened immune system
- Worsening of an underlying pathogenic disease, be it viral or bacterial
Anger is more than just feeling annoyed. There are many descriptive emotions associated with anger. It can be resentment, bitterness, irritability, frustration, or even hatred. This is important to know because all emotions are experienced on a spectrum. And the word E‑Motion means energy in motion. Anger is one of those emotions that requires a lot of energy. When you think about yourself when you’re angry, or when you watch someone expressing anger, you want to move, scream, or get physical. Anger is an energy that gets you moving. Have you ever received a response from someone on Facebook and thought, I’ll show them? Are you typing and your fingers are flying around on the keyboard? Here too, it is the anger that makes you move. It is an energy that demands movement.
But what about not expressing anger by shouting, moving, or physically engaging with others? Your anger tells you that something needs to change. The movement that causes anger is a movement toward change. And that is the key to getting the most benefit and the most beautiful radiance from this energy. Anger creates tension in our bodies. And if this tension is present, we will act until it is relieved. Sometimes yelling at someone releases the tension in our bodies so much that we feel calmer afterwards. We may not feel good about yelling, and the recipient certainly won’t feel good either, but we have successfully released our tension.
However, there are more constructive ways to channel anger and reduce the tension it creates. Try some of the following ways to instantly relieve tension without hurting other people:
Move your body:
- Dance
- Jump
- Train
- Gardening
- chop wood
- Play an instrument
- Hit the pillows in your room or on your bed
- Allow yourself to scream (make sure you are alone or that others around you know what is going on, or go to a secluded place in nature)
Move the energy mentally:
- Write
- To sing
Anger can be used to take control of your own health. Reading and educating yourself, changing eating habits and talking to people about it are all steps in this direction. And when people question us, anger can help us find a clarifying answer that people can still understand.
Anger has tremendous power. It occurs when our boundaries have been exceeded and we feel violated. And the MOVEMENT that anger brings is a movement to change something in our lives to protect ourselves from violating those boundaries.
Knowing this power of anger can help us to use it successfully, for example to make relationships and projects as positive as possible. She can help us do things we otherwise wouldn’t do without the knowledge of her powerful energy. Directing anger destructively can destroy lives, health and relationships. Using them constructively can be life-changing – in a positive way.
Instead of reacting with anger, here are a few tools to turn it positivee to steer:
Say to yourself out loud: I am angry. I’m pissed.
And ask yourself this:
- Which boundary was violated?
- What was not respected?
- Why do these feelings arise? (This can take quite a while to become aware of. Don’t be too hard on yourself in this process if it doesn’t work out in the moment – most of the time you don’t realize it until hours, days or weeks later and it can take a few years to be aware of it immediately, in the moment itself, before you react).
To get rid of anger, you can do any of the things mentioned above. And once you’re clear about it, you can talk to the person concerned about what caused your anger.
In terms of health, it is possible to not only meet one person, but also to feel like the whole world has lied to you: society, your family. Not intentionally, but because they didn’t know any better. If there is no one who cares about our health, there is an incredibly powerful opportunity to take it into our own hands and learn everything about it: from books, from websites, from experts and doctors. Applying what you have learned can bring about great changes. Not being sick and angry at life may never have enabled you to build the energy in your body and put you into action to change your life!
Not having any living conditions that you have to change – what would a life look like then?
Some of us can suppress our anger so much that it turns inward, towards ourselves. This inward anger is the most destructive way to deal with it. Most of us don’t do this on purpose. It is an unconscious act. If you haven’t allowed yourself to feel anger because society has put a stigma around expressing strong emotions, or if your family hasn’t allowed you to express those feelings, then your first step is to release that anger and let it go to give a legitimate voice and allow it to move you. The reason we can suppress our anger is often because it makes us too afraid to really feel it and for others around us to witness it. But anger is powerful, and if not channeled properly, it can bury our true purpose in life.
Now it is important to note at this point that not everything in our lives is driven by anger alone. Anger is the flip side of passion. There are many things in life that we can feel passion for. Overcoming anger issues and learning to use them in constructive ways can lead us to our passions, which many of us often know nothing about. People are often more likely to know what makes them angry, so it’s easier to use this as a starting point because it’s more accessible.
However, all is not lost. There are many, many ways to move emotional energies, and here are a few.
