Steroids are sometimes used as medication to reduce inflammation and suppress the body’s immune system when autoimmunity is out of control and normal cells are considered the enemy and destroyed.
Steroids are not used when the peripheral immune cells are activated by the chronic latent inflammation of psychological scars and attack normal cells as the enemy. But when we are angry, we secrete corticosteroids to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system (all written in narrative).
So people with psychological scars try to release hormones to calm the inflammation that is their psychological scar by getting angry and pulling up unpleasant experiences from the past.
The slightest thing their partner says becomes unacceptable, and they can’t stop being angry.
Suddenly, you remember an offensive remark made by your partner, even though it was in the past, and you can’t stop imagining the scene where you are questioning your partner.
Suddenly, while traveling by car or train, you remember unpleasant things your old classmates did to you, and you can’t forgive them, so you curse at them in your mind and think of revenge.
“Why, when it’s already over?” Because the autoimmune system considers the psychological scar, chronic latent inflammation, as an enemy and attacks it. It has become necessary to get angry and release stress hormones to quell the inflammation and suppress the autoimmunity.
So when you walk down the street and see a loud, vulgar person, you can’t stop yourself from getting angry. And if you look at social networking sites, you can’t stop being angry and you can’t sleep.
There is a psychological scar latent inflammation, and the autoimmunity attacks it, so you get angry and secrete stress hormones in an attempt to suppress the autoimmunity in order to quell the inflammation.
For example, if you have a psychological scar of being a “lowly child,” your autoimmunity will attack that chronic latent inflammation of being a “lowly child,” so you suppress your desires. If you suppress your desires, they will be amplified, and you will become extremely angry, saying, “I’m the only one who is losing money,” or “That person is the only one who is gaining money, and it’s not fair.
This is the result of the suppressed desire that has grown up inside of you, and you blame yourself somewhere in your mind, thinking that your desire has turned into a monster and you have become angry.
But in reality, the more the suppressed desire amplifies, the more the autoimmunity attacks the “lowly child. Then the inflammation gets worse, so you get angry and try to suppress the inflammation with stress hormones to suppress the autoimmunity.
And when you get angry and have too much stress hormone, you over-suppress your immune system, your muscles atrophy, you feel depressed, you have insomnia, and so on.
So you are not angry because you are angry, you are just angry because your autoimmunity is out of control due to inflammation and the inflammation is getting worse, so you get angry to suppress it.
You need to become aware of the psychological scars that are the source of that inflammation. When you realize that the peripheral immune cells are actively attacking the psychological scar, which is chronic latent inflammation, which is why the inflammation is getting worse, and that’s why you’re angry, you don’t need to suppress the inflammation and autoimmunity by getting angry.
When you realize that you’re not angry because your desires are inflated due to being a “lowly child,” you’ll realize how the psychological scar of chronic latent inflammation works (I wrote about this in the narrative).
