Do I have depression and anger issues?

Ive been asking myself a lot this but I think I have anger issues but I don't know how to control it? Maybe it's because I had a rough childhood, or something to do with me. Some of the stupidest things I get angry over it. I swear sometimes I feel like I can't control my body, mouth... Emotions ? People point out that I have anger issues and I get angry at them because of that, I'm a hot mess. I'm screwing up all my relationships with friends, family, myself. My anger issues have made me push myself away from others. I cuss just like a normal teen would do but I just don't know I use it to hurt people, or just to hide the fact that I'm hurting and breaking inside... Or is it because I hide my emotions in to much and I shove them down deeper and deeper and deeper and then it just all comes out? I just don't know what to do with myself should I just run away or just let myself rot away.

Hello sorry your so emotional, yes it can be from yr childhood an yes u can have depression as this anger and lashing out is a symptom of depression and also anxiety, u need to be able to talk to someone about this someone u trust, and u need to let the emotions out or they become suppressed and this is just as bad, Coz u won't release them there are ways of releasing them without lashing out, I use to go for a run to release my emotions or do anything that like this it does help, u can explain to yr family and friends at the time of feeling this anger that I are sorry and I need to go and calm down and leave their company this is better than falling out and pushing them away, and relationships can come after u have worked on yrself and yr emotions, and also how's your vitamin levels u could be deficient in anything, which can make u irritable, I hope u can find peace xx

sometimes when we have had abuse, emotional abandonment, and our boundaries as kids were repeatedly violated as adults, if we don't get help, we repress this emotionally and we lash out with anger, and are triggered easily. This is very common for a lot of people, but for some of us it's harder to control because we have so much anger and rage over never dealing with what happened to us as kids. It did take a while for all the damage to occur and it will take some time to start the healing process....and it's not easy to open up old wounds, but if you don't, they fester and fester and you won't get better unless you deal with it. Doing it with a therapist that you can trust is paramount.
