I'm severely depressed, I have been since 4 years old, I've tried talking therapies 8 times, problem is now, it's manifesting itself into fits of rage. This normally occurs when I'm shattered, which is a lot due to my job, not listened to or being treat unfairly. Today, I went to the doctor to get antidepressants for the first time in my life, I was 10 minutes late and I explained my reasons and apologies to the receptionist, however she was so rude to me that I just walked out as my usual bubble turned to full blown boil, I had to get out. I can't seem to switch off, I tried various methods of being outdoorsy, helping others, books, sleeping.. Relaxation techniques, but nothing works. Any suggestions before i start to self harm again. Thanks guys.

Hello there Tokidokitattoo

I'm sorry you are having such a frustrating time. I must say, I'm not surprised your frustration has turned to anger after so many unsuccessful courses of talking therapies. It sounds as though you really need to take the bull by the horns and go back to your Doctor and ask for a referral to a Psychiatrist, to be suffering depression for so long is just too much for anyone to cope with. In the meantime, do stay with us here. Check out our Free guides on Mental Health issues on the right hand side of this page under pinned posts and the Crisis Support if you feel you need to.

Please take care
