Hello..I hate the fact that I am depressed. my b/f says that I am way emotional, and I am starting to agree with him. I sometimes get to the point to where I don't care..and sometimes just get to the point to where I become angry and take things out on myself, my b/f, and others. Is there anyway that I can control my depression/emotional/anger problems?

I was having the same problem. It lead me to drink and I got in trouble because of it. The only thing you can do is find something that makes you happy that you can do as an outlet. Since I got in trouble with Alcohol, I made it a point to try to get a hold of that problem. I started to attend AA meetings and that has really helped me a lot. The support you get from things like that makes you feel so much better about your problems. Find a hobby or find a group of people going through the same things. You would be surprised how good you feel after you just verbalize your problems.

My husband suffers from depression (his mother is severe) ...and DENIAL. Lately he his anger has become a real problem. I was always the one with the temper, but he has suddenly shown rage I haven't witnessed from him-ever. He does not hit or hurt or even come close to that with me, but he has begun to throw things againt the wall and yell, name call (with the F word), grit his teeth and the worst part; he can't control the anger with our children (age 3 and 9 months). Not physical, but yelling, swearing, gritting teeth and major frustation.

I try not too over react (hard for me) to these outburst. I wait a while and then start off my telling him I know this isn't HIM. He ehe hates how he has become. I am a little tougher when the kids are involved and usual take over, no sharp words...but I give him a look he can not misunderstand.

However, as I mentioned, I also have a temper and tough skin. If your loved ones are sensitive, they may not realize the anger comes with the depression.

Maybe you could help educate them by finding easy to read outlines of what comes with this. OBviously, they will be more understanding if they see you helping yourself.

I sufferd a brief bout of depression after my 2nd child and ended up going to a therapist 2 times a week. I made a list of all of my issues and read them off rapid-fire. I couldn't beleive how much better I felt when I walked in the door, and with my rage already gone...things were much better.

Good lucjk

I have mood disorder ( depression ) and I'm very moody, emotional at times, I take it out on my bf as well..I get the feelings of I dont care, but in my heart I do my doc said that I hold things in and it turns into anger towards myself and depression or something like that..but I can relate..one minute I'm ok next I'm feeling down and then i get so mad and irritable I'm not sure how to control this because one minute I tell myself I can beat this and next minute I'm feeling so helpless...but it does help to have supporting people around you. and to come here and vent, or needing to just talk etc maybe if you see an therapist that does CBT and maybe medication can be helpful to you, I know that CBT will help some its always a struggle but they teach you how to handle it as well as medicine can help God bless u always (( hugs ))

I can be the same way sometimes. Don't know if it will work for you or not, but anythings worth a try once, or even twice. When I find myself really unhappy and want to lash out at my husband for something stupid he has done or not done, I tell him that I'm not happy and I'm angry because <insert whatever thing he has done here> and I really want to yell, but I realize that yelling isn't going to solve the problem, but this <insert whatever problem> is what I'm upset about and although it's not a huge deal, to ME it feels like a huge deal. He usually stays away from me for a few hours, which gives me a chance to get over being royally peeved at him and by the time we are in the same room again, my thoughts are elsewhere. By just telling him how I'm feeling helps, because I really, really, do want to yell, but that's just not right and leads to horrible fights and bad feelings.
