Hi. I loved your story and how courageous you were to do the anger releasing. My husband and I did the same thing years ago. We read Bill DeFoore's book and then started punching the heck out of pillows. Before I started to do the anger releasing I had severe depression, horrible migraine headaches, and a bad case of psoriasis on my face and arms. I was always going to dermatologists to get lotions and treatments for my skin condition. One doctor actually said that my skin problem was mainly due to my stress level. He said that if I ever calmed down in my life, my skin would get better. At that time I did notice that my skin condition got worse whenever I was especially stressed out. Within the first months of punching pillows I noticed that my migraine headaches started to go away. Next I noticed that I was less depressed and my skin was not bothering me as bad. My husband and I kept at it until the migraine headaches and depression were totally gone. I still have some problem with my skin every once in awhile when something happens in my life that bothers me, but it's not nearly as bad as it used to be. No medical doctor had ever prescribed punching pillows and throwing a full-out tantrum on a padded mattress to me before. I'm so glad that I read Bill DeFoore's book and did the anger releasing exercises and I'm so happy to be commenting on another person's story who did the same thing. I was also amazed at how much rage I had in my body. It was not easy to face it at first, but I'm really glad that I did. It will be something that I will do anytime I need to now and in the future too.
