Hi Frogy78,

Thanks for reaching out - it means a lot.

I'm so sorry you are feeling this way. Anger is definitely an overwhelming emotion that can be difficult to control. Experiencing trauma is already exceptionally painful enough; I can't imagine how much harder it is reliving it. I see that Sophie_M has given you some great contacts and links to get in touch with. I think getting some extra support is always helpful and might assist in breaking out from your dangerous loop.

Know that this community is always here if you ever feel like talking.

Sending you positive thoughts and wishing you all the best.
