My current depression can be characterized as presenting primarily through constant anger and irritability, along with low moods. It isn't simply a matter of finding a release for the emotion because it is just always there. Has anyone else ever presented this way? If so, how did you deal with it in a healthy way, without just letting it out on people around you? Every little thing can set me off, and I just live in constant avoidance, even from my mother who is the only other person in the house. With her, I am just always snappy and impatient. With myself, I just get frustrated, which just sets me off more.

Ever take a bat to a tree? It's very therapeutic.
There are other things I've done like writing, drawing, utilizing a punching bag, gone to the range, exercise etc.. You just have to find therapeutic things that work for you. As for in the moment, I just became extremely silent. I stopped being talkative. Constant breathing and counting have only ever done so much. Most of the time I put headphones in my ears (sometimes nothing's even playing) and people get that I don't want to talk. Not the healthiest ways but it's all I found out on my own. __________________ "Give him his freedom and he'll remember his humanity." |

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to curb biting, negatively-toned speach toward family members when irritability is riding high? It isn't fair to them, and aside from totally avoiding them, I am struggling to merely talk or calmly answer questions and comments.

If I am able to get away, then this works fine, but when I am with a family member and I just bite their head of when I respond to a question or comment, that's when it becomes problematic. I can't really get away mid-conversation because it isn't the type of setting that allows for that. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
