I've been constantly angry for a few months now. Every little thing, every person, everything just is so annoying and makes me angry. I've been trying to occupy my attention with different things, so I can cheer up, and it works... just as long as I'm alone. Once I go out among people, it all starts up again.

I feel like a ticking time bomb. I acknowledge my feelings and the worst part is that I know im not being easy on everyone around me. Sometimes I just wish to go unnoticed and get sunken by the ground. I’m just sitting on this roller coaster of emotions

I'm angry almost everyday every hour. When i wake up every morning i feel angryyy. And i dont know why. And sometimes i cry too because i feel so worthlesss.

My anger depression is when I get so mad that I could kill someone then start to cry and go over every sad moment in my life.🤷‍♀️

This makes me feel so much better. It’s good to know there are people who understand exactly how I feel.

Mine is more a underlying irritability. It's there but comes out at weird times, like when I drop something on the floor and have to pick it up. It's not a nice emotion to carry around all the time. I keep everything well hidden, and maybe that's my problem. I should seek a group to share and support.

I am really relating to this right now. I keep apologising to those around me saying 'This is not me and just not myself lately.' But every little thing enrages me to the point I have lost the will to care. Situations have led to my depression and I am doing my best to sort it out, but it just seems to drag and still waiting for that light at the end of a very long tunnel. Your video was so helpful and I hope things will gradually improve for us both.

Psychedelic's definitely have potential to deal with mental health symptoms like anxiety and depression, I would like to try them again but it's just so hard to source here.

I think this describes my wife. When she was alive (she passed in February) she seemed on edge all the time and unhappy. Every little thing made her mad. I wish I had known this was a symptom of depression and tried to get help for her.

Man, this really articulated how I feel. I feel like such an idiot because I can’t control my anger and I wear it on my sleeve. It’s embarrassing especially at work when my coworkers can see that I am clearly angry with them over something small and they try to address it with me and I am just seething with rage and can’t even respond to them or look at them I’m just silent. Then I get in my car to go home and I suddenly feel so stupid and guilty for my behavior. They have started to dislike me after a while, obviously. I’m not a nice person at work I’m sad and angry. I feel confused all the time about my feelings like I want to have friends and do fun things but I also don’t want to be around anyone or do anything. Sometimes if it’s a nice Saturday I feel like I should leave the house, and I usually end up at a restaurant sitting alone at the bar bc I don’t want to take up a table if I’m by myself. And then I have drinks and feel even worse listening to everyone around me enjoy their company. Then I just go home and feel ashamed of myself for spending $60 on expensive food and drinks at a fancy restaurant I had no business being at. I feel ashamed anytime I do anything fun. The worst is that I have such a difficult time taking a shower. It is so hard for me for some reason. I will put it off just one more day until I haven’t bathed in a week. I hate taking my clothes off I hate touching my body to wash it I hate having to wash and dry and style my hair to be presentable at work I hate the whole ritual and the idea of it honestly seems insurmountable. Anyway this was just a stream of consciousness sorry to anyone who read this. I am just lonely and angry and empty inside.

I'm so angry that I can be in public I get this fury to harm people. it's like flashes of rage. I quickly withdraw to get away before it gets bad

[lottahope]

I feel angry often with my depression. I'm glad you shared your experience. It can be validating to others who share the same stuff.

[Gray_Studytube]

Me too! It’s destroying my life. I’m so tired.
I don’t know how long I can continue like this.

I’m trying not to blame something else for my problems so I internalize. But I feel like I’m about to explode.

Intelligence creates anger. The more you know the madder you become. Ignorance is bliss!

I’m feeling rage a lot recently. Suffering from depression and PTSD. I’m thankful for this video. I’ve been crapped on so many times in my life starting with being sexually abused from the age of ten. Then betrayed by so-called friends, family, being cheated on by the woman I loved and trusted more than anyone on Earth, the list goes on and on and on. I’m so sick of being treated like crap & I know that I’ve reached the end of my tether because of the injustice of it, which is why I’m angry but I HATE feeling this way even more than the feelings of sadness, despair and loneliness. I’m usually a calm and measured person, unflappable and emotionally centred. I know that this is something I need to feel to get through to the other side. Still sucks balls, though 🤬

[sunnydaze]

Thank you for this video. I’m currently feeling this way and I absolutely hate it. It feels horrible!! I’m angry all the time, it’s suffocating. Even when I try to calm myself down and tell myself that I’m going to be okay and the anger will pass, it just comes back so easily. I hate being this angry, bitter person all the time and not feeling like I can control it. Ever since my break up it’s been so much worse. I was doing well for a few months. I was happy and optimistic, but for some reason I’ve lost my happy, optimistic self and all I want is for her to come back.

i feel its holding onto things we feel was done to us that was unjust or not fair and it makes us feel angry or rage. its like subconscious traumas that have happend we are still playing in the back of our minds. but i can relate because im going through this right now i keep having to clear layers and layers of this.thanks for sharing your experience

[TheHeartbound]

I have always been a super angry person ever since I was younger. Its almost like I hate a lot of aspects of the world we live in. I feel like I'm trapped in a cage of expectation. Everyone makes me feel like IM the problem for not being so happy go lucky. I dont see the world the same way as a normal person. I see a lot of greed, a lot of vanity, a lot of evil, a lot of just really negative things so I feel my rage stems from the way I view the world. I'm unhappy inside of this cage where I HAVE to get a 9 to 5, I HAVE to have a career that pays well. I HAVE to be happy all the time, I HAVE to do things I dont wanna do just bc "thats the way it is" its bs & makes me hate everything that I see as a lie.

This breakup has absolutely destroyed me mentally. I’m so angry all the time. I just yelled at someone at work, I’m just coming off as a total nut case when really I’m just tired. Really tired of not having a girlfriend to love anymore, just tired of being alone 24/7. I’m so over it.
