the pride and prejudice musical we deserve:

• darcy doesn’t sing a single note even during conversations where everyone else is singing at him that is until the argument following his first attempt at proposing to lizzy where you can see his restraint fall away
  
• his first big solo is the letter he writes her
• gelsey bell is mary and the unofficial narrator and she sits down at her piano to describe whats going on but before she can ever reveal her feelings on the matter, starting with that gelsey bell scream, mr bennet comes over and does the whole ‘that’s nice dear but give someone else a turn’
• mr wickham has this huge ballad about how darcy ruined his life and its super melodramatic and touching
• mr collins proposal to lizzy is an absolute bop that he gets so into he forgets for a moment what he’s doing he’s just owning the stage
• wickham has a song where he’s trying to seduce lydia but she’s not even listening she’s just monologuing about how excited she is to get laid
• during darcy’s second proposal he keeps hesitating waiting for lizzy to interrupt him like she has done every time before but she doesn’t say anything until he’s finished
• at the end mary sits down at the piano and right where she’d usually be interrupted, kitty joins her and harmonises
•  jane and bingley have the adorable upbeat romantic duet which is just them being super polite like ‘oh so nice to have you here’ ‘so nice to be here’ interspersed with their inner monologue which is just them being like fucking jesus I’m so in love
• the bingley sisters probably have a really cool mean solo
• lady catherine has this terrifying disney villain song in the garden
• there’s for sure a song about ribbon shopping

On anger and advice

Anger is not a secondary emotion, especially for people who have been traumatized. People will tell you this though, I actually believed this for most of my life, but it’s not true. Thing is, they mean well - like your anger is covering for sadness or fear, and while that’s true sometimes, it’s not the only reason for it.

Anger can be self defense. It can be pure and stand on its own as proof that you believe you deserve better treatment than you’re getting. That is not fear, that is not sadness, that is self worth and a willingness to fight for it.

Healthy anger expression is not to ignore it. It’s not to calmly repress it and act extra kind, or extra gentle. That’s not anger expression at all, that’s repression.

People are taught to be afraid of their anger, to feel shame for it. Don’t. Anger can be an incredibly powerful constructive emotion if it’s allowed to be expressed and directed into healthy outlets. Like self discovery, or self worth, or art, or music, or writing, or activism etc. When you shut down your anger, you silence the part of yourself that is your most vehement champion - the part that will stand up for you when the rest of you is too terrified to move.

I just don’t see that many posts discussing the merits of learning healthy anger expression for people with ptsd.

What if your anger is toxic to the people around you and you have trouble controlling it

Im not op, but ive been there. Toxic anger is still something that exists in response to something else. Tackling that issue while also learning methods to control and channel your anger are crucial. Not shaming yourself for having it and learning to forgive yourself for your anger getting out of hand is also important. Anger can still be a productive tool for you, in time, and its certianly a valid emotion to experience, even when your responses are destructive and need to change.
