nicki Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 lately i have been finding myself with feelings of such anger and i cannot understand where this could be coming from. i sleep well and i get up and i feel fine thenthe slightest little irritant sets me off for the whole d ay. is this a sign of depression? what could this be? i have always been a very level headed person where little to nothing would bother me, so this is quitedisturbing to me to feel so out of control. just like i said little things that go wrong that normally would not evenmake me blink an eye have been sending me into a swearing rage and wanting to throw things to vent the frustrations of what??? i just do not even know. has anyone gone through this kind of emotional war, if so what is it from and what can i do about it?

longlegzs80 Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 I feel the same way sometimes. I know this is going to sound strange maybe, but I usually get irritated when I am about to start my period. That is when the irritation and the anger sets in. But it is a women thing too, that when your about to ovulate, then you get alittle testy, maybe angry. That might not be your situation though. But I know what your going through. I am a naturally depressed person, and I don't know if I have ever experienced happiness. But, I can't see it as being depression. ASk yourself this: Have you always been moody, or down in the dumps? Then I can say that maybe you are depressed. It is something that I live with day in and day out, but if I were you think to what has been bothering you lately. Did something happen at work? ARe people spreading rumors about you? Those are just some questions to play off of. But if this is a huge concern, then you should think to what might have triggered this irritation or anger. Have you always been angry and irritated but just covering it up with going through your everyday life? Hope this has helped. Link to post Share on other sites
Baldy Posted July 22, 2003 Share Posted July 22, 2003 nicki I went through the same thing about 6 years ago. I was a level headed person, never got depressed etc. then WHAM!!! Would suddenly get into these massive tempers. Even stupid little things would set me off in a rage. I'm not saying what you have is the same thing as me, but it turned out that I had developed frontal lobe epilepsy. This isn't a problem now, I don't even need any medication for it. The only signs that I have it is that I get a slight twitch in my left arm when I get nervous or upset sometimes (last time was about 2 months ago). I can still get quite angry over silly things, but this is getting better and is few and far between. Like I said it is more than likely you don't have this and it could be a sign of depression/anxiety (unfortunately another symptom I have been left with) Something is obviously wrong though so I suggest you see a doctor and explain it to him/her! longlegzs80 - Have you read a book called 'Feeling Good' by David D. Burns MD. You can buy it at amazon.com. It helped me out a great deal and still does. It's a very thick book but well worth the read! http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0380810336/qid=1058862587/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-0971082-8485702?v=glance&books Link to post Share on other sites
