Hey Lee, certainly there are similarities of your feelings with anger. I guess it is difficult to express it if it was suppressed for long time. As you are very sensitive and artistic person how about imagining some angry book's character and trying

Sorry, this may not be of help compared to the other posts... I remember some nosebleeds when I was younger but I cannot say for sure if they were above the norm. I get them now and again but I think it is more attributed to being overweight (thus

I feel guilty, because I have a very dark sense of humor. My comedic sensibilities also include really bizarre outlandish, inexplicably funny, nonsensical, non-formulaic comedy, but does anyone find this offensive? Or is it funny? I find it funny, BE
