Panic Disorder as suppressed anger?

I've heard that Panic Disorder is suppressed anger/rage. So it's logical that if I could get into touch with my anger/rage, my anxiety would decrease. The problem is I'm having a REALLY hard time getting angry at the things that have happened to me, even though I know I should get angry.

Does anyone know how to get into touch with your anger? I already know how to release it in a healthy way...I just need help getting it first.

yes, I have been diagnosed by a psychiatrist and am on lexapro and lorazepam and see a therapist once a week. I'm looking for ways other people have gotten in touch with the anger.

You probably internalize your anger. You've got to have a good self esteem to get really angry at the ways you have been wronged. You've got to think that you are better than that and that bad things don't deserve to come your way.

I have panic disorder and I am not angry. Still, I think it was years of stress and suppressed anger that caused it.

One thing that did me a lot of good was to write. Everything that angered or hurt or frustrated me. Also helps to talk to someone, anyone.

I still have to take medication, but it is not controlling my life any longer.

Have you spoken to any couselors/psychologists/psychiatrists about this? Self diagnosis and treatment isn't always the right way...
