Find somebody you can talk to who isn't going to try and fix you or make you feel better. Set it up in advance that you're just VENTING, there's nothing they need to do with what you're saying, they don't need to respond in any particular way, and they're clear you're saying it in order to let it go. All they need to do is HEAR you.
Then set up REGULAR conversations with them--every couple days, or maybe even daily at first--where you just do a brain dump, say anything and everything you need to say. When you get that they've HEARD it, you'll find it's largely disappeared for you.
Most suppressed anger (and other feelings) stays suppressed because it never gets properly heard by ourselves or anyone else. Just having it heard takes 99% of the charge out of it.
