Had to suppresss my sadness and turn it into anger to survive,this was actually a good strategy at the time and I am thankful it helped me through it.
Just wanted to say this really strikes a chord with me. It's what I am doing right now to power myself forward through, frankly, what are some terrifying changes in my life - terrifying, successful changes. I am scared to succeed because I am afraid that people will "find out" that I'm not really a successful person but some sort of fraud. Right now the little voice in my head is trained to whisper, "If I can be this angry, then this should certainly be no problem....."

One of the SR people has a great signature line that goes roughly like this: "why does a caterpillar turn into a butterfly? because it wants to fly so much it is willing to give up being a caterpillar."
Sentimental but fantastically true.
