Anger

0

This is a cross post of something I posted in the depression group...

Anger has been oozing out of me lately. I don't seem to be able to control it, I'm lashing out at the people I love and I hate myself for it. I'm not even sure where all of the anger is coming from. I wish I was still covered by the student insurance at school so I could go back and see the grief counselor there. I don't know if this is related to my grief for my father, but he helped me a lot with anger around that time.

Well, I know you'll get some more in-depth and knowledgeable responses from the depression group, but I'll throw in my 2c. Maybe your anger is kind of a defense mechanism for your body/mind? Instead of wallowing in the depths of despair, you're taking a route in which you're able to externalize your frustration(s) with life?

You mentioned you haven't taken a vacation in YEARS (in a message) -- so perhaps it's time for you to 'get away from it all' and decompress, at least for a weekend.
