Hi Celtic, Thank you. I have an appointment with my new therapist next week. Ive been told that it could be the depression and sadness under all the anger. I just wish i wasnt so angry. I always clench my fists trying to scare people off

What exactly are you so angry about? Talk to us.

Im always angry and short tempered feel like i treated with suspicion and garbage everywhere i go. Feel better when i can stay in the house away from people. If i stay inside no critiscism, not being laughed or judged

in reply toNothingnoted

I get it, there have been times I’ve felt like that too. Like some people just suck, I just want to be alone kind of thing. And that’s okay. There are good people out there though. You’re not going to meet them if you don’t let anyone get to know you.

I understand that but usually when i do nice things for other people they turn on me and forget what i did for them. Several of my so called friend have used meand thrown me out into the garbage.

in reply toNothingnoted

Yes, I’ve had some so called frienimies myself. Back when I was on Facebook I ran into that. Now I stay away from Facebook. Some people just have their own issues and they’re not very grateful. They’re out to see what they can use you for. I still say not everyone is like that. You just have to try to get to know some new people. It’s fine to keep to yourself for awhile. When you’re ready you can try to be part of the human race again. It’s okay to spend some time alone.

It just that I always hear this saying its not good to be nice because people come back and Trigger and back stab you. Its really hard for me to trust people. When my mom was alive my mom would say you asked me 100 times if I loved and I said yes. In the Asian culture they are not affectionate

in reply toNothingnoted

Well I’m sorry to hear that about your Mom. It’s always nice just to hear some words of encouragement or get a hug once in awhile. My Mom is pretty cool in a lot of ways. It’s my Dad that I have issues with. I don’t remember the last time I hugged my Dad, a lot of the time I avoid my Dad. I wish we had a better relationship but he is the way he wants to be.

It's important, but it's not important. Oh, how do I be clear? You deserve to be listened to! You deserve to be safe. The creeps who who hurt you, that's all on them.

Easier said than done, I know, but recognize -- as Brig says -- we would have nothing but compassion if we saw an animal mistreated this way! You don't deserve it either.

It doesn't take a dog who's been abused long to learn trust. Nature made them four-legged angels.

I don't know if I can ever learn what was taken from me.

Not re-learn; learn! I have photos from when I was a toddler with sadness and fear on my face. My childhood was stolen. It's not fair! I didn't ask for it; Geinki didn't ask for it.

You didn't, Geinki. We didn't.

Geinki, you need to take your own advice, also tell your sister she is not being supportive. Is it her house, if not ask her to leave. I know it may be more difficult as an ethnic minority, but feeling as if you do not belong is not exclusive to any one race. I am white and half of my friends are black or asian immigrants, or not, because we have similar insecurities and recognise this in each other I think. In my local area there are ethnic minority groups that get together, although if you want to get away from that try contacting Mind and seeing if they have any local groups you can go to meet people. You can also try your local church, or library to find any groups that might appeal, you do not have to be of the faith to attend church daytime groups/coffee mornings etc. You sound like a very capable person, have you thought of volunteering in a shop or in another local organisation like the WRVS? I live in south east England, I hope that you can get counselling soon, let it all out, find some empathetic friends and look to the future. Love Dee x

Mind is a mental health charity that offers help and advice, and sometimes organises groups people can attend for free, there was a local one in my area, it was a trial for women over 55 with mental health issues, I made 2 really good friends there and we are still in touch, over 2 years after the group finished. We were able to help a fourth member of the group move out of her 3 bed social housing house, that she couldn't afford and was getting more and more in debt with, to a nice one bed flat that suits her much better, she has made new friends there, started volunteering and going to church, although she doesn't get involved with us much any more, we know we were able to help her. Arranging the move was the easy part, the social housing company were very happy to get a 3 bed house back for other people and to stop their debt to them get bigger and bigger, and very happy to give her a one bed flat in exchange. The actual move, we all chipped in, our disabled member with a large van doing a large lot of the moving, with able bodied help to load and unload each end, actual move wasn't that far, maybe a mile, her house had virtually been emptied as her grown up kids had moved out anyway. I hope you can find an organisation that can help you too in the US. 😀

Nothingnoted profile image
Nothingnoted in reply toBlueruth

ank you that makes a lot of sense to me Th

Last week I became angry over small things myself which I feel what was behind it was being worried about getting another job and home and and having an injection last Wednesday and interviews and ormones didn't help either!

On the Tuesday morning I had a job interview for 11.30am and had met up with a friend for a catch up who lives nearby so we decided to go for coffee before I went in and I had fancied a kit Kat with my tea but they didnt have any and I was annoyed!

Then after the job interview we went to lunch at a pub and we had wanted desserts but they never happened as we were ignored twice at the bar so we walked out and went without and had gone to the loo and my phone went and by this point I was infuriated!

Then we got some desserts from the co op in the village and I called them back and yes it was a phone call to put me on the spot and I said to them how I was no longer interested in their job and it was like I hadn't quite slammed the phone down on them!

Yesterday we were laughing about the not getting the desserts thing last Tuesday and my friends said how we have all been there at some point when small things like that feel like the world has ended and I said it's a lesson in knowing not to go to those places again and also not going to that employer again who tried to put me on the spot and I was in no mood for that nonsense when it was like I hadn't quite slammed the phone down on them

Friday morning I had decided to get on with some house and job hunting and it was 9am and the letting agents had come in to sort out quotes for work to be done on the empty flats after they had sent everyone notice to leave back in July and I was annoyed having my peace and quiet disturbed and had told myself to take things easy it's my home and I wasn't going out because of them!

If I had wanted to have gone out off my own accord fair enough but what I did was I stayed in as planned and got on with what I had planned and sorted out a viewing for Tuesday coming at 11.30am at a house up the road!

What I was really angry over was about having choices taken off me and my life disrupted and the coming in at 9am brought up all that anger and resentment!

When you look behind these little things that set you off there's always something else behind it.

Hi

When we bottle things up for a period of time they are going to manifest in other ways.

Short fuse and irritability can come with depression.

Keep working through this. Understanding will come.

Its always the way isn't it how little things add up!

Yesterday I enjoyed a day out with my friends to Cardiff Bay where we went for drinks and dinner and bowling which we all really enjoyed doing!

We hadn't done that for a long long time and I feel you enjoy things more when you have been made to wait for them!

At Cardiff Bay there's a Japanese restaurant called Volcano that's recently opened and we popped in to get a feel for the place and one friend had kittens at the prices there saying how could anyone afford to eat there at those prices and I said how we save up to go to those places and then enjoy it more simply due to being made to wait!

In regard to the house and job hunting my friends say these things will come in due course when I am ready for them!

in reply toDolphin14

brilliant well said. excellent excelent excellent...

Anger and resentment are often the result of one of “your” rules being over ruled…the choices you make being changed by anyone or anything else.

These unwritten rules that help you set boundaries are often fine in the privacy of your home environment…but difficult to apply once outside in the world where others have set their boundaries and rules.

The blame game…he should have she should have they should have plus the jumped conclusions of what someone else may be thinking about you without them saying anything…can make a situation seem like all is against you..

Therapy is one option….behavioral cognitive…or learn to accept what ever happens that’s outside you control…choose to be calm and happy…stressful situations are part of life…master the art of relaxation and acceptance…who cares what people think inside their heads…it’s what you think of THEM that counts.

HI G.

Have U spoken to a medical professional about this as it could be a number of things & even though in this group we try to help one another , as far as I'm aware none of us are medically qualified.

A suggestion if I may please. Book an appointment to see ur doctor & if its a him , ask for a her failing that a nurse clinician who is a lady. U need to be listened to properly & then hopefully they can help U deal with it all.

ive made so many mistakes in my work life. I know the idea sounds crazy but my doctors are not treating me good anymore. i feel its my job. I dont have muchleave left but i feel like entering a crises center constantly in tears and my hearts feels like it shaking. I wont do anything due to religion

DodgeDhanda profile image
DodgeDhanda in reply toNothingnoted

If U feel like going to a crisis centre , then maybe U should as it may be ur only help. As for religion. U need to put ur health in the priority column.

We are all gods children & we need human help too. If God didn't want humans to have medical help , then God wouldn'thave blessed those people with the intelligence to invent the medicinesthat help us & heal us. Give urself that chance to help urself.

I wish U love & light on journey .

Know what you mean. I get stressed or out of patience and up goes the temperature guage to where I became something ugly and uncivilized. The worst part of it is the guilt component that is always at the center of it. It's something you've got to get shed of but what you project, you undertake. And herein lies the basis of fear, though may not always be so obvious.

But part of what is driving it for me is a protracted (6 yrs) Benzodiazepines recovery that can rep havoc upon your CNS.
