Excessive anger is a hard thing to live with, but it's good you recognize that it isn't healthy. Self awareness is important in moving past such things!gottatalktothefake wrote: ↑Mon Jul 05, 2021 7:46 pm Reviving a dead thread
Aside from depression (which is something I’ve had since I was a child), I’ve been experiencing a lot of anger lately.
It’s why I’ve been pretty bitter on here over the last few months. I’m getting angry over a lot of things that I know I shouldn’t be angry about at all, but still make me so mad.
I’ll be at work and if a coworker inconveniences me in some minor way on accident I’ll think the worst things in the world about them, even though I don’t dislike them at all.
This is a relatively new development and I really hope it isn’t gonna be a permanent thing
I have had similar issues for a long time, since I was a child as well, recently I've found a good therapist, but even that wasn't really cutting it. So I started keeping a journal, which combined with therapy has the emotional responses a little bit more untangled. Writing stuff down really helps with that "everything is caught in the pipes" feeling.
Don't beat yourself up, and remember that at the root of that anger is something valid. Plus there's people here rooting for you!
