Re: ANGRY STAGE...... baffled!: You'll learn to balance out the feelings that you go through every day. Every morning I wake up and think - "I wonder what the emotion of the day is?".
Sometimes when I ride the anger for too long it makes the other feelings more acute when they return...
There's a reason it's called the rollercoaster - just hang on and work it out... you'll be a very strong person when it's complete. You'll really be in touch with yourself - some people actually have to go through a grieving period when the rollercoaster is over! - it becomes a part of you that much!

Anger was a great stage. It was empowering and invigorating - it gave me the nudge to get through to the next stage, which for me was forgiveness and acceptance. Anger was awesome, but don't let it consume you, just let it motivate you. It was during this stage that I rebuilt my life - new hobbies, new friends, etc. It was a whirlwind and I enjoyed it, but it was exhausting when it was over.

Best stage evar! Gotta concur, anger kicked the living sh#t out of the self-pity stage. As JMN suggests, use it. It can be your friend.
ANGRY STAGE...... Tim4971: OK, so almost eight weeks down the line, I know most of the regulars on this site know my story (Cos you care!!) so won't even bother boring you with a recap. But I have gone past the 'I want her back', and the'Why did this happen'. I have now moved into the 'ANGER' stage. My counsellor told me it would happen, and hey!!, she was right. I feel really angry today, have not got my usual hurting feeling, have got a real angry one. Bit shit really as I am staying with friends, but I will try not to let them see it. But within me... It's there. I have tried the relaxation exercises that my counsellor suggested with the breathing and that, but that ain't me. I can't sit and meditate, I sit and stew!! I suppose the only good thing is that my stages are passing thru! What is the next stage....... HAPPINESS??????
Go on, tell me it is!!
Re: ANGRY STAGE...... gpiilani: I so wish I could be angry!!!! Good for you for working through all this, its almost over, before you know it you wont even remember why you wanted things to work out so badly..... :D
Re: ANGRY STAGE...... confused101: I'm pretty sure the next stage is in the mountains. You should be able to make up time on the leader, and regain the yellow jersey.
