furious for no reason

So I broke up with my boyfriend over the summer. I sent a few emails around then detailing the break up, but suffice to say it was rough. He got cancer, I took care of him, he was basically cured and then he dumped me.

For all of October I was feeling pretty darn good. I had started dating, hit my 12 pound weight loss goal etc. Just last might I told my friend that I thought I had finally gotten to the acceptance phase of grief. But this morning I just started feeling angry over the breakup again and all I want to do is call my ex and ream him out for being a mean jerk. Of course I know that won't solve anything but I hate that I still have such strong feelings after getting to such a great point in my life.

Any ideas on what I can do?

You're not "furious for no reason"--you have LOTS of reasons to be angry with him!

Hi coolia2007,


You have every right to your feelings and it isn't for 'no reason'.... some time the anger comes and goes. If you've not experienced it before, it's time.
