are you mad?

[GreenShoes3]

does anger come with depression for you?

it does for me.

there are days that i just wake up angry.

today is one of those days!!

absolutely everything is getting under my skin.

i'm irritable and annoyed and it doubles down when i know i don't want to feel this way but find nothing to calm my mood. it's super irritating that i'm mad at nothing!! that i'm mad at everything!!

i thought today was gonna feel like a brand new day. specifically after yesterday's announcement about the new president but honestly, it still seems so hopeless. the damage is done. how are we gonna get out of this mess??

i'm mad when i'm alone because i have no company and i'm mad when i have company because i want to be alone. that makes no sense.

i'm mad at my cable provider for not explaining their services and billing clearly and i'm mad that i can't control my voice and attitude when i call in to "fix" it.

i'm mad that i miss people who don't even think about me or ever look for me.

i'm mad at dreaming about my ex husband leaving me again. i mean, that sh*t happened 10 years ago!

i'm mad that i don't have energy to mop my floor and clean my bathroom.

i'm mad that auto-fill on my computer put the wrong zip code on an order i made and that the site has no phone number for customer service.

i'm mad that i can't "be there" for people i love because there's just nothing left for me to offer.

i'm mad... i'm just mad. at everything. everything!

i'm even annoyed at the people talking outside of my window... like, shut up! Ugh!

i don't know how to get out of this mood...

i don't know what i want when i'm here.

i don't want to be bothered or spoken to but i do... can you explain that? or relate to it, at least?

[GreenShoes3]

yeah, i am a pretty easy going, laid back person myself which is what is most bothersome. i feel like i am someone else completely when i let little things get to me.

i feel myself being rude or saying something with an aggressive inflection when it's not really what i want or mean at all.

do you go through a routine or engage in anything that helps curb your mood or do you just ride it out?

i tend to seclude myself in the effort to not project what i'm feeling on someone else who doesn't deserve it.

Yes I have experienced that too. It sometimes gets really bad at night when I go to bed. Instead of falling asleep, I get angry.

It’s probably just due to of the brain chemicals out of balance. Or stress. Just another symptom of depression.... I agree it’s horrible.

Oh gosh yes. I can totally relate to what you are going through. Sometimes I feel so angry and I don’t necessarily have a reason for it. EVERYTHING makes me angrier. Not feeling in control, feeling sad, feeling alone, it all just builds up and I have no way to relax. It is a horrible feeling

[FearIsALiar]

Yeah at times

[Micafe]

It happens to me. I am mad at the way the world is nowadays. Nothing seems to work. Things keep changing and it makes me angry. I feel I can't deal with all those changes anymore.
