Do You Experience Anger Without Reason?

A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question 💭
Provo, UT

I've noticed that sometimes I will get upset with someone without any reason to be upset. I was wondering if anyone else had felt this way, and how they handle it.

Yes I have, and it is a side product of depression I'm afraid. The main thing is too understand that your anger is not directly aimed at that person and is only a bi product of how you're feeling, I'm sure if you apologise to the person afterwards they will understand this.
Stay strong, and keep your head up

I try my best to disengage. Walk away until I feel the wave subsides and then think about whatever it was that made me angry and then to approach it logically. I would hate to hurt someone, unlike my days of youth, I can no longer afford to be physical. I have no feet and a very badly injured spine so I cannot afford to be physical anymore. So I guess that this makes it easier for me, but walk away. That is my best advice. However, you do still need to vent. Find a way to do this or you will do it inappropriately which is my current problem, I vent in my sleep in the form of seizures and this i still need to work out.

My emotions just flip switches. I can be smiling and happy one moment then in an instant I am ready to bite someone's head off. I am absolutely the nicest person you'll ever meet then all it takes is you saying the wrong thing and I write you out of the universe and these days I can't hold my tongue for anything.

Without any reason I can go from happy to being really angry. I really try not to be this way but I can't help myself.

i get angry with no obvious reason sometimes, i even wake up angry at times and bite my man's head off just for talking to me. i try and avoid people on days i feel like this not because i am a danger to them but because it's easier for me to avoid them than pretend to be ok or happy or be chatty when i really don't want to be.
