Anger Controls My Emotions


18 years ago 0 36 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
I have been feeling terrible anger just for the past 2 days - maybe three. Prior to that all I did was cry and was so sad and sorry for myself. I attribute the anger to the "upping" of my medication to the next level. At first I totally flattened out - I wasn't crying but I wasn't enjoying the 3 things in my life that bring me some comfort - my walks in the park, my photography and my cats. I got so angry that those 3 things don't make me feel better any more - nothing does. TOday the anger built up and built up and I swear if I had a quick implement of distruction.... But then I read your post and realized I am not alone. I don't know how this helps. but somehow it does. I absolutely hate the medication - I hate feeling this way and I am angry because I see it never ending. THere seems to be no way to let it out. I can cry for hours, and eventually some of the sadness leaks out along with the tears. But I am not used to anger - this is a first for me and I'm 60 years old. It frightens me and I don't know what to do with it. I guess this really doesn't help you my dear compatriot in misery, but you are not alone. ANd all we can hope is that it will pass - as everything does - eventually. My love and prayers to you.

Hi Everyone, I really need some help from all of you, I have so much pent up anger, resentment that it consumes me. I started off this morning feeling ok that is until I went outside and became dizzy and lightheaded and made it back to bed before fainting and falling down on my knee. This is the fourth time this has happened in about two weeks now. My doctor reduced my blood pressure medication, but I don't think that is what causing the problem. I am so full of rage and anger most of the time that I can't seem to eat anymore. I have been trying to hide these things from my husband, but today he found me on the floor of our bedroom. He also doesn't know I am seeing a doctor for depression or that I am taking meds for it. It's kind of my way of gaining control over some part of my life. I am so lonely and sad most of the time, nothing interests me except being alone and using the computer. No one really to hurt me here. Since I have been this angry for over one month now,all I do feel is either anger or numbness, nothing in between. Still can't cry and this really bothers me because I would like to be able to cry again and just release any feelings at all. Thanks for listening
