Thoughts about anger and peace

Sources of Deep Anger

I hate who I am
I hate the family I was born into
I hate my body
I feel stupid
I have always been alone and no one understands me
I can trust no one
People have hurt me so bad that I will never recover from it
I have no luck but bad luck
My mistakes have so wounded my life that I have no hope of winning
No one loves me
I have been betrayed by everyone I trusted
Memories of my past drive me insane inside
My parents abandoned me
My parents abused me
I was sexually abused and raped
When I tell people I was hurt they do not believe me
People blame me for when they hurt me
I feel that I have no hope of happiness
I feel trapped in addiction with no way out
I have been treated unfairly my entire life
