I'm sorry, for I know not if this is the correct area to place this particular post, but at least you came across reading it, no?

Now, no sob story, I've bottled a lot of anger inside of myself over many years, and, at around the age of nine or ten, I started hearing muttered sentences from somewhere in my mind, that weren't there before. My young mind couldn't wonder on this, but, now, Its made me start to think.. Could anger, discomfort, sadness and so on, form into a 'body', a person inside a person?

I've been thinking about this, for I've started college, and, for reasons, become rather stressed. The voice that had for a while, behaved itself and become quiet has again sat up and took notice. I "feel" it watching me when I look in the mirror, and it has become more influential also - such as random outbursts of anger, from offensive gestures, to physical contact, which I would never out-stretch to normally, and seem unable to control.

I realize that, all this could be an average thing, and I could be interpreting it in some strange, twisted way, but, I'm sure this forum isn't about knowing, its more about finding out - from your own, or others experiences.

As of recently, I've developed a rather nasty cough, and, I found myself wondering, 'Did I catch this? Or is it anger?' Apart from the cold, I find myself fidgeting slightly more, and, many people have said I look annoyed, or upset, when, on the inside, I feel perfectly fine.

Whats your take?

Jim.

I also hear from the various selves within me. We are comprised of so much and so many identities.

At your age (late teens) plus being male (testosterone), you are bound to have some aggressive feelings. I am in favour of acknowledging said feelings, figuring out where they come from, then accepting and integrating them since they are a part of you. By integrating (loving) all parts of yourself, they are diluted in the whole and none "take over" as such. Just my passing thought...

Cough gone away?
