I have been trying to deal with my depression on my own.  I know not a good idea.  I have noticed in the last year I get very angry about every three weeks.  It is like on schedule.  What is that about.  I didn't think anger was apart of depression or i just have no idea.  I feel like a failure that I feel like this, noone I know knows how much energy it takes to get me out of bed and do the stuff I have to do and noone cares at all.  I am just trying to figure out where the anger is coming from.

I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in March or April of this year, after many, many years of just major depression.

Hi! Anger issues are common from what I have read, when ppl suffer from depression. In fact, I have seen many psychologists say that depression is actually anger turned inward. I admire your courage in trying new ways of coping w/your feelings. Serious depressions rarely go away on their own. Usually ppl need help through meds & therapy. But... if you choose to work your own program, we'll be happy to support you. Please keep in touch & know that we care about you. GL & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

Hi All,


I was just told that I have this bipolar, a label or name for me being nuts. I am in week 2 of meds. Saw a shrink for first time 2 weeks ago.


Problem statement. Am I wrong for being angry and pissed off when things/people make me angry and piss me off.And anyone in their right

Good luck with dealing with it on your own I tried for 20 years. Never underestimate your own ability to kick yourself when your down. I kind of wish I could look at your post while I was writing a reply new drugs just take the H out of ADHD. So if you know how to do this help me out I am a newbie thanks
