Anger played a significant role in how my mental illness manifested and perpetuated itself. Even though I relied on spite and anger to survive some hard moments in my life with suicidality and hopelessness, I eventually had to create peace with it to facilitate my healing and recovery.

In this mini-series prefixed "On Anger," I am dissecting the way that my anger and depression has been weaponized. I am a straight white man from a conservative area of a Rust Belt state. I am also someone that used to engage in unethical and manipulative marketing and influence because I'm just not that good of a person.

I hope that by doing this dissection, that it will help other people see the truth before the propagandists can steal years of your peace and happiness as they did to me.

I am not a mental health professional. I do not have any qualifications or certifications of any kind. I hope that by sharing my experiences, more mentally ill people will be empowered to step into the offices of clinicians to do the hard work that leads to mental wellness, peace, and happiness. Take everything I say with a grain of salt, as all I am is a mental patient with a microphone.
