What do you do when you just want to rant your heart out but you fear it might hurt you even more?
I've been pretty good at bottling it all up and showing the resting bitch face 24/7 since I was a child. I kinda just observe and judge and pass all the time without saying a word. And I kinda feel safe that way, but it's getting to a point that I feel I might physically explode. I work like 10 to 12 hours a day, and I have trouble sleeping so I spend my remaining time reading comics and watching shit. And sometimes I don't speak for so long that my throat starts to hurt, and when I do speak it's mostly me talking to my cat in the silly voice. It's like the person inside me is fading away day after day and one day I'll be an empty shell. What would you do if you were me?
Maybe find a rage room? Like you go into a room with a bat and start breaking stuff. Really good for letting stuff out. If you want to find a more permanent solution, then yeah, I would go to therapy. Or if therapy doesn't work then maybe journaling? 1 reply
I have been troubled by this feeling for many years. The one thing that helped me the most was a change in environment. Before I moved, I lived in an extremely toxic place. When I moved and found out people were actually ok with listening to me and that it wasn't healthy to keep it all bottled up, it was like a breath of fresh air.

It's never too late to change. It's easy to be quiet, to be safe and comfortable to feel protected like that. Human relationships are important though we tell ourselves they're not. I'm extremely happy you have a cat, I bet they love you a lot. Try talking to yourselves, saying your thoughts out loud. That personally helped me a lot. Just read and ...... 1 reply
Sing. Even if it's not good, sing when you are alone.
Or find soundproof room and go there to shout if you can't sing.
Go somewhere in the field.
Made your own song even if it's of screams.
I composed many songs and I sing all of them in made up language because I don't have words to let all out what I feel. I can't say what I feel in "real" word...... 1 reply
If I were you I would probably go to therapy to sort out my feelings but if that’s not available I’d talk to my friends. Maybe go outside more and try to meet people, do things I enjoy or set some type of goal for myself. Habits are hard to change but do your best to get out of your comfort zone! 1 reply
