Hi LifeRecovery,
Thank you for sharing your experience. I am also glad to know I am not alone.
I also totally understand your 3 points. I fully identify with all three. Bottling it all up makes it grow bigger and bigger until we explode. Letting it go relieves so much pressure from keeping it in...even when we are not even aware that we are keeping it in. And I am also tremendously grateful for all of the positive outlets I have in my life.
