Hi Arra
I feel for you so deeply as you face so much anger at this time in your life. When there is an anger that begins to turn into a quiet rage or even a screaming rage in our head, it can be so hard to manage it and make greater sense of it on our own. When guides have seemingly disappeared, it definitely adds to all the emotion we can feel churning within ourself.
It was a few years back when I thought 'I have to make greater sense of what my anger's about because I'm just so sick of feeling it slowly destroying me at times'. I'm talking about the kind of anger that's found in a depression or that deep dark hole in the ground that can feel impossible to get out of. Before making sense of it, I had no idea of just how many things I was angry about. These days, I tend to question 'What am I experiencing an angering level of or an enraging level of ?'. For me, I realised anger is not so much of an emotion itself but points to the level of emotion or the volume of the emotion I'm experiencing, if that makes sense.
While we can be feeling people dis-appointing themselves from their appointed roles as 'guide' and 'support', an angering level of disappointment or desertion is a whole other thing. While we can be feeling a sense of intolerance, a sense of what does not work (in the way of mental health strategies) and a sense of injustice, an angering level of intolerance, useless strategies and injustice is a whole other thing. And while we may sometimes feel some degree of frustration, hopelessness and more, it's a whole different experience when we're feeling such things to angering or enraging degrees. While anger can point to the volume of emotion, as I mention, I found it can also point to the frequency or how often we're led to cycle through such emotions.
While I used to believe feeling anger was wrong and there was something wrong with me for feeling it, I've actually discovered it to be a key of sorts. It has the potential to unlock the truth. In some cases the truth is 'I am feeling an angering or enraging amount of faults in a system or relationship that's just not working for me and I'm feeling those faults frequently'. The systems and relationships that lead us to thrive have a whole different feel to them. Through them we can feel relief, excitement, hope, revelations, progress, personal evolution and so much more. If your recovery goal requires a guide and you're being left alone to manage, that's definitely a fault in the system. Some systems have many faults. We just don't feel the faults until they become angering, stressful or depressing.

It’s a fault in the system because they turn there back on me…. But then all they offer alternative is crisis support
I am angry at the system, I’m angry at the people that have done me wrong, from when I was little all the way through to now, I feel rejected, abdanoned and remembering all those times I was tood as kid that I was too much
im angry because my mum was a “burden on the physical health, mental and disability system”, they didn’t help her… where is she now?
Well… not here 🥺

My heart goes out to you regarding your mum and all she went through as well as for you and all you had to witness her go through. As a deeply feeling person, it can so hard feeling for others and what they face and feel themselves.
It's fascinating observing how a variety of systems work. You've got all the broken systems with their bandaid fixes or under funding or 'if it 'aint broke, don't fix it' ways of thinking and functioning. Then you look at certain systems that have been around for hundreds or thousands of years and how they still work incredibly well in some ways. Helps explain why some have given up on what's obviously broken, having opted for more traditional or tried and true ways. For example, I can recall a fascinating documentary called 'Crazywise', which covers more traditional ways of managing mental and emotional challenges within certain tribal cultures. So incredibly community based. In this sense, it's not just a matter of 'It takes a village to raise a child' (as the saying goes), it can take a village to raise a person when they're in desperate need of support and raising. The entire community is educated in how to help a person evolve through the challenges they face, it's not solely up to a underfunded and understaffed government system. This is one of the brilliant things about Beyond Blue, it's a community of specialists/professional support, volunteers, people who've faced similar challenges, people who feel deeply for others and so on.
With such an enormous amount of anger, stemming all the way back to childhood, there can be so many questions. Why didn't people try to understand me better? Why didn't they try to understand my nature or what lay behind my ways of thinking, behaviour and struggles? Why didn't people wonder more? Why did they all seem to just jump to the wrong conclusions? Why were they so mean or so thoughtless or so neglectful of my feelings? Just so many questions. I think the greatest anger can sometimes come from no one being able to give us the answers or reasons that can help us make greater sense of that anger and exactly where it's coming from. Sometimes, there is nothing more angering than being left alone to work things out for ourself, especially when we've become so exhausted in the process. When 'WHY WILL NO ONE HELP ME?' goes from being a desperate plea (to know why) to an angry demand, we can be labeled as 'difficult' as opposed to the truth being...we've finally become more demanding and rightfully so.
