I don't get this....

I get upset at the least little things like waiting in lines, traffic and my husband distracting me when I am trying my hardest to study...he never does anything around here anyway....it is already bad that everything is now on me...then the stress of my job and my coursework....I know what I really need to do is decompress but there is no time for that....

My point is that I hold my anger in since it has devastating effects and then I can no longer hold it in....now another major problem if I express my anger, I feel very afraid afterwards and have anxiety....

Most of my students and clients have found that when they express their anger or frustration in a healthy, assertive way - they feel much better.

Of course, when you let it build up - anger will erupt and there can be serious consequences personally and relationally.

Here's an article on Assertiveness which you might find helpful.

Fear of expressing yourself generally results in an unhealthy mood and behavior, ie., aggression or depression.
