Do you feel angry?

Sssssssstop March 23rd, 2019

When Im feeling depressed I get angry, especially when someone tells me that they also feel down. I dont really understand why; anger is in no way in my nature and I rarely feel angry about things in general. I dont express my anger to people, because I know thats not the way to handle these situations, but this anger makes me feel like a bad person. I dont want to feel angry when someone needs some help; thats an ugly way to feel about the situation. If I wasnt feeling depressed or down, I would be more than happy to assist someone and I have done so on many occasions.

Maybe I feel angry because Im jealous that they are strong enough to share how they feel so openly and ask for help so easily. Maybe I just get disheartened always being the one helping people and getting little in return. I dont know. I think about this a lot, Im trying to understand.

does anyone else feel the same way? What can I do?

@Sssssssstop I can relate. I'm trying to work out a marriage where my husband cheated on me and I know I'm in a depression. I have no energy for anything, but damn I have enough to lash out with this crazy anger I have. I almost lost it in a marriage counseling session when the therapist said how I need to consider how hard this is ON HIM! As he sat there all shaking his head yes and looking pathetic. If I knew I wouldn't get arrested I would have pulled them both by the hair and smashed their heads together. Don't give me that bullsh*t. I am not usually like this, I used to be a positive person, but it's hard to even be around people that I love. You just start to feel like everything is grating on your nerves. I don't know where it's coming from, it's scary.
