SURVIVORS:

Being angry means the following things about you:

• You are aware of what happened to you.
• You understand that what happened to you was wrong.
• You do not accept what happened to you.
• You hold the perpetrator(s) responsible for their actions.
• You recognize that you didn’t deserve the abuse.

Being angry does the following things to you:

• Helps you to escape the abuse.
• Helps you not toreturnto the abuse. 
• Keeps your body healthier by preventing somatoform symptoms like stomach aches, headaches and ulcers.
• Increases your self-esteem by helping you not to blame yourself.

Some facts about anger:

• It is included in the spectrum of normal human emotions and should always have a place in one’s mind.
• It can’t be erased, only expressed or repressed. 
• It rarely leads to bitterness. 
• It increases confidence and decreases feelings of fear. 
• It’s an important step to healing from trauma. 

Go ahead… get pissed!

thank you so much for saying this. no one likes it when i get angry. I’m supposed to be okay with the way i’m treated. “anger just lets them know they win”…. like wtf?? I hate when people tell me to not stand up for myself.

Pass it around, Novos.

Fuck what anxiety or depression or bipolar or *whatever* is telling you that you can’t do things, or that things won’t change. Mental health stuffs only want to stay in your brain, so what they are telling you is for their benefit- not yours. You can do this. *you can*
