I may have gotten rid of most of my anxiety and depression, but I am quickly developing anger issues.
Thank god I am really, really in control of myself, but I am getting pissed off often, and recently to a point I daydream of violence.
Some wild wild instincts are coming out and I feel uneasy whether I should lash out more often, or suppress it (and suppression is bad in long-term). I am starting to get angry at any even miniscule attempt to oppress me. Even friendly jokes. As if I am going through second puberty, haha.
:/ hm, any thoughts/ similar feelings?

Arenβt they just....I had polecats years ago but mink are the dogs bullocks I think π...there was an article on coworkers before and they said that in the workplace small acts of revenge between co workers happen about 4 times a week ...haha oops sorry didnβt mean to spill boiling hot coffee on you stuff .
Since I believe a lot of my depression and anxiety is caused by unresolved anger. So when I start feeling angry instead of depression I am happy. But like you're experiencing, the anger issues need to be addressed. I use my therapist for that - to find root causes. Also share stuff I find with my friends and see what can be done with it. Lastly, underneath the anger is usually fear that I'm going to lose something I already have or not get something I want. But, like I said I need my professional therapy.
The point is I am composed, but I am sometimes boiling inside. also I am not angry towards girlfriend or something like that, but rather annoyances, like coworkers recently.
Take up a sport where you can let it out in a productive way ie kickboxing boxing mma I found it can have a very relaxing releasing effect that way you don't have to keep it in and build frustration
absolutely agree, though sports rise my testosterone more and I not only think bad thoughts, but also feel like I can do it
Nevertheless, I do weightlifting a lot and soccer/ice hockey at right season.
The anger issues I described here are more "new" to me. I think after I reasoned my way out of depressive state my brain just wants to fill the emotional void with something. Gladly it also makes me like people more at other times - e.g. I have times I think about how much I love my parents, that my gf is absolutely the cutest and so on.
Are you using magnisum? Or have you tried 5htp (Can Only be used If NOT on MEDICATION FOR DEPRESSION) it can help to balance your moods or you could take up knitting (only joking)
i actually do use magnesium supplements (together with zinc and calcium). no anti depression drugs (in eastern europe we use alcohol lol. but no, i dont use any drugs).
No no that's wonderful. The reason we get anxiety in the first place (sometimes) is bc of the pent up emotions and/or the fear of the emotions. The anger was underneath the anxiety. So bc you werent feeling anxiety and feeling mad instead means that you are healing..yes! It's true. Now the next step is to get under the anger. What emotion is under that? Keep on digging. You'll uncover why you've felt anxious in the 1st place. You can do it It's all about emotions quitter333. Btw change your name please u r not a quitter u r a do-er!
I think yoou are right. came to similar conclusions. Quitter is just a name i chose when i quit smoking on another forum years ago (which itself caused pretty neat wave of really bad physical anxiety because unless you do it cold turkey and suffer, you havent really quit haha)
