I’ve been dealing with a lot in the past few weeks, but the one thing that is becoming increasingly more is my anger. I’m angry all the time and I fly off the handle at the littlest things. I isolate myself because I feel like nobody wants to be around me. I feel alone and when I try to reach out for some guidance or help I get turned away because I’m not a drug/alcohol addict, I’ve talked to my doctor a few times and she refers me to doctors that don’t want to talk they just write prescriptions, I don’t know what else to do

Hi there! I’m going through the same thing I am irritable a lot more lately. I also isolate myself from people. I feel like I have no family no friends only my 2 kids and they are too young to understand. I’ve tried antidepressants and they never work makes me feel so zoned out and have bad side effects no matter how low the dosage is. The only thing that has ever helped me is exercise. It is a natural way to help yourself with great benefits. It’s hard to find time but once you do your body will crave it like a drug and you will feel so much better! Hang in there you will get through this. Medicine is not the key. I find this site very helpful knowing that others are going through the same thing. You can do this!

I wish my doctors would listen to me I don’t think antidepressants and meds like that would work, I think it’s because I have low estrogen since I had an endometrial ablation a few months ago and my symptoms coincide with that, I’ve never been like this even after I had my kids I never had postpartum depression, I’ve been trying to find a new doctor but getting an appointment that’s not 2 months away is impossible

I understand completely and finding a good one is hard enough itself.

Right there with you. Feel like my to do list is never ending between a grueling job & keeping the house & kids up & running. Feel like I am always rushing & pushing & I get so mad when things hit snags. Feel so much pressure and like everyone around me is carefree because I'll take care of things.

Yes exactly and when something goes wrong I lose it and I’ve never been that way before and because of my severe mood swings my significant other is moving out this weekend, I’ve become that unbearable to be around

[Beachcomber75 in reply to Hidden]

Wish I had a solution but I don't. You're not the only one at least. Also, I've been in TX for 10 yrs but was born and raised in Woostah😉.

Me too. Been always pissed off for days now. People at work annoys me a lot. My boss annoys me a lot. It's hard to control the anger sometimes. When I want to lash at them.

Hi jcd1478. Anger is such a bad feeling isnt it? I'm the same way a little now, but have been worse a few months ago. I was so bad one day back in the fall I let loose on this jerk in a grocery store. I did feel better afterwards but wouldn't recommend. I also feel people dont want to be around me and actually there are times I dont even want to be around myself. I hope you find a doctor soon that will actually listen and hear you. Sadly, the seem few and far between in this country. You know your body. If your instinct says what you're feeling started with the ablation your probably correct.

I’ve dealt with a lot in the last 14 years, it is not only anger, it is hurt. To me anger, and hurting is the same thing. Has someone hurt you? I know that my own daughters have hurt me to the breaking point❤️

I also have been having trigger points.. I’ve stuffed my feelings down and and it comes out at different times.. my therapist says it is part of depression .. I’m about to go through a divorce and so I just try not to feel .. i feel like if I let go .. I’ll dive deeper into my depression !

Now, I didn't feel anger when I was depressed. But I did get irrationally angry when I was hypomanic. Have you spoken to anyone about bipolar disorder?

[Hidden in reply to c-mac]

No need to I just got diagnosed with early on set menopause/low estrogen which is causing my mood swings amongst other symptoms

[c-mac in reply to Hidden]

I don't know if those kind of mood swings are like mine, but if I'm really wound up I try to stay home with the lights down low, no sounds unless it's just relaxing. I try to stay away from stuff that excites me.

Hello there!!! I have been struggling a lot with anger too, esp since I suffered from hormonal imbalance after a horrible relationship I had. How about seeing a Naturopathist or an ayrvedic doctor is fear of the conventional ones ? A naturopathy can tell you about supplements like zinc that help with aggression. There are ayverdic herbs that help a lot as well and they are adaptive which means they help your body adapt so that you don t take them for life. Diet helps a lot to balance hormones. Take out processed, sugar and dairy, reduce meat consumtion, lots of fruit and veg, exercise is a big one. Meditation is a big one. You can even find directions on you tube if you 're not familiar. And one I recently added is praying to God or Universe or whatever you want to call it, to fill my heart with love and acceptance for everybody and release me of my anger. I think these things esp if all combined will help you see results. Also for me it is very interesting Reading about psychology and how the mind works. Take care. I know what you 're going through. My husband could not stand me either. It s getting better now, esp after praying.

I tell anyone who will listen to try a slow breathing meditation that can take my hypomanic moods from 60 to 0 (okay, so maybe around 15) in 20 minutes: open.spotify.com/playlist/3...
