Athena, try this. My writing students often struggle with expressing their real feelings and this often works. I do it when I start to feel like I'm going to explode, and it helps. Find a quiet time and place and sit down with paper and pen or computer and just write. Write without thinking, without worrying about grammar, punctuation, spelling, or even sense. Jump from subject to subject as they occur to you. You might even close your eyes. Give yourself five minutes to start. Rant, vent, describe, speak jibberish, whatever. Keep going if you're so inclined. It's just for you. If you're stuck with how to start try "Dear Alcohol." It's a way to feel that also seems...intellectual somehow.
