Dealing with anxiety by being angry and mad

Gumshoes April 10th, 2020

it always feels easier to deal with than crying although I know its unhealthy, in times like this it feels like I'm regressing to protect myself because I haven't seen a therapist in 3 years.

I feel irrationally angry right now for having gotten woken up by my boyfriend's alarm this morning and when I ask what it was for his only reply was "you should know we talked about it yesterday" No I wouldn't ask if I did, I just woke up??? Apparently he was hanging out with a friend on discord and I love how I have to keep track of his plans for him.
and now he's basically yelling into the mic to talk to his friend so I have to blast music to drown it out.
I tried joining in one of their conversations only for my bf to completely shut me down
I had the option to join their call yesterday, but last time I joined a call I was more anxious and didn't even talk so it felt pointless, his friend only even talks to him and hardly acknowledges me so I'm not missed.
I wanted to relax more today before everyone got home, and we had to continue apartment hunting but I guess not.

I know these sound really fucking petty, and it doesn't help that 7 cups doesn't have anger management
dunno what else to do but vent

anyone else deal with anxiety by getting mad?

Yeah, anger can be related to anxiety, fear, sadness... but it only makes things worse than they were before. Sometimes it helps to calm down first before trying to do something else so we get in touch with our feelings, let them be less intense and then react. Not always possible but.. it is better to try again and again...
