So when I first posted here the suggestion was to make a list of feelings to work through. I made one, but it seems to continue to grow. I can't believe how angry I am about so many different things. And what's more is some of them seem like things that once I start analyzing them I can get past, but others are things that I have analyzed and can't. Some of them are things that I have told the person I was angry with and gotten an apology and explanation that makes sense and I am still angry!
So, how do you get past something that made you angry, you've told the person, gotten your apology and reason (and it was a valid one)? I try to focus on acceptance of it but it is a very sensitive area and it's apparently not something I am ready to accept. What do you do to help yourself with this?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
Anger is it's own entity has been my experience. It's just angry - it doesn't have to have a reason. A good antidote for me for this strong emotion has been physical release - an exercise routine, a punching bag, or feverish writing until I'm wiped out. Run it down.
It sounds like you've gotten all the closure from other people your satisfied with getting. So I'd say its probably best just to wear it down. You may feel physically and emotionally tired for a while after this - and I think that's normal.
Anger really is normal and necessary at times. BUT, the key is to let go of it so we can go on and feel better.
Staying angry at someone will never DO a thing to them, but it will only hurt us and stall the process that we need, to go forward.
