Why does my anxiety cause me to be angry
| Mon, 11-14-2005 - 9:10pm |
I have been battleing anxiety and depression my whole life...but the worst part about it is my anger and inability to control the tone of my voice when I speak to people. I have the tendency to yell and scream before talking...about Everything! It is ruining my relationships and I am scared it is effecting my son. About 3 years ago I checked myself in to an emergency room and they perscribed me meds...I have been on and off Prosac and Paxil. I hate taking the meds because they make me tired...I have tried lowering my dosages but no luck....I just want to be able to controe myself without meds. I do not even realise what I am doing unless I am faced with it head on...like my Boyfriend of six years telling me he will leave me and his sister telling me how horrible I am to him. I know....my parents were the same way...but that is no excuse....how do I learn how to control my anger...relax...mellow out and not *itch about everything???

Hello & welcome! I can't say why your anxiety makes you feel so angry. Possibly it's the frustration of it all or it can be the powerless feeling that you have so little control.
I am very sure that anger management classes could benefit you. New ways to cope with your feelings & learning to control your voice would be your priorities.
