That is exactly what happened to me when I quit this recent job. I could not believe the anger that surfaced that I had no idea existed. On subjects I did not realize I felt angry about.
But I was - and in some cases still am - angry. This has made me realize I need to find a way to deal with anger, or at least write down the things I am 'managing', when they come up.
Sadness too. Coming up. Lots of 'what a crying shame this is'. It isn't necessarily something that makes sense, but I think I have felt my recent job to be a crying shame for 18 months but that is a BIG feeling I had to suppress. Now it's here. And I have to deal with it.
I've taken it up with my psychologist. Just saying what was WRONG out loud has helped.
