When You're Feeling Angry or Frustrated
Anger and frustration can show up when you feel unheard, overwhelmed, stuck, or treated unfairly. Sometimes they come from stress, boundaries being crossed, unmet needs, or situations that feel out of your control. These emotions don’t mean something is wrong with you. They usually mean something inside you is asking for attention. You don’t have to fix the feeling right away. It’s okay to acknowledge it, let it exist, and find a safe way to release what you’re carrying.
