It can be frustrating when you can’t do all that you would like to do. It can make you angry when others don’t seem to <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://arthritis.about.com/od/solvingdifficultissues/a/understanding.htm">understand</a> what you’re going through. A certain degree of frustration and anger should be expected. But when it builds and builds, do you feel better if you vent your anger and frustration? Do you suffer if you don’t vent, but instead, you keep your feelings bottled up?</p>
<p>Explain why you feel justified when you vent? What do you get out of it? Or, if you typically choose not to vent — why not? <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://arthritis.about.com/u/ua/solvingdifficultissues/vent_anger.htm">Tell Us What You Think — Does It Help to Vent?</a></p>
