Depressed, angry, frustrated, gloomy, anxiety, stressed, and feeling sorry for myself

I've been depressed, angry, sad, I cry, feeling sorry for myself, and feeling negative like a dead end street. I know that I'm not the only one that has felt like this. Trying to overcome these feeling bound up inside of my, I want to feel numb, I want to sob, soak in my tears, and maybe I want to express all these feelings. I want to cry out loud, but silently. to many emotions bottled up inside of me just waiting to burst out.


I am going through a lot of changes in my life. Menopause, my youngest daughter graduated (feeling old and lonely, like I am not needed, force to go out into the world to work with my injury after not working for 2 yrs., finding a place to live, I'm alone, taking care of myself.)

Am I a angry person?

am I feeling sorry for myself?

My depression is a state of mind which is characterized by a negative sense of inadequacy and a visual lack of activity. It is a mental state in which the effecting person experiences sad feelings of gloom and downtur n in mood, which is because I lost self-esteem from not working for 2 yrs.. The comm on behavior includes feelings of sadness, despair, low self-esteem, low self-reproach and discouragement. (Click on image to read)

Protecting Yourself from Anger

Step1
Don't let anyone blame you. Sometimes an angry person will blame those close to them for all their problems.

Step2
Make sure you have ample support, so that anxiety does n't

become a problem for you. Living with an angry person can make you feel anxious and afraid.

Step3

Look for family patterns. Distorted anger can be pa ssed down from generation to generation; learned patterns of behavior can be diff icult to unlearn.

Step4
Identify the angry person's triggers. Identification can be useful in keeping yourself out of the cycle of anger.

Step5
Watch for increased episodes of anger under stressful situations. Anger can be coupled with low impulse control which tends to escalate under stress.

Step 6
Create a safety plan. This can be critical if the person has the potential to escalate to violence. Having spare car keys, money and phone numbers readily available may save you and your children.
Step7
Try not to take on a teacher or therapist role with th e angry person. It is their responsibility to work o n their anger, but it is also their choice! If you become their teacher or therapist they may resent you for it and become increasingly angry toward you. (Click on image to read)

Step 8

Teach people about the limits and boundaries of anger expression. An angry person is responsible for their own behavio

rs.

So my last word to end todays blog will be HOPEFUL; Light at the end of the tunnel.
"Once we learn to let go of the problem ...the loving care from your higher power, will provide strong support to help me understand what the whole purpose of these emotional roller coaster is all about"


Place all my worries into his hands, and release stress, anxiety, anger, frustration, suicidal thoughts etc...

Depression with Aniety


Depression with Anxiety Often Coexist

People suffering from depression often experience anxiety as well. In fact, as many as 90% of people who've been diagnosed with depression also have symptoms of anxiety.1 Similarly, it is common for people diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) to also receive a diagnosis of depression. If anxiety symptoms appear along with depression, it doesn't necessarily mean you have GAD. Be sure to tell your doctor about all of your symptoms so you will get the right diagnosis.

Depression and Anxiety Require Medical Attention

Whether you suffer from depression, anxiety, or both, it is important to seek the care of a health care professional. Depression and anxiety are serious illnesses that require medical attention. If you suffer from either of these disorders, you are not alone. According to the National Institute of Mental Health, each year approximately 19 million Americans suffer from depression and the same number suffer from an anxiety disorder.2,3 About 4 million suffer from GAD specifically. Men and women of all ages are affected. The good news is that depression and GAD are both treatable.

Upsetting/ depression

Last night I was in a depressed state of mind, and couldn't bring myself out of it. When Ted finally got home around 5pm, I felt a lot better, but then I was thinking to myself...I should of been the one that brought myself out of depression and not to rely on someone. I don't even know exactly why I was depressed, I just was. I tried to do things to take my mind off of sadness, but all I could think of was sad things. I won't mention them because I don't want to be remembered and its not worth the depression over it.

Can I just focus on happiness today?

When I'm feeling alone, sometimes I forget just how good of a person I really am (difficult for me to say). I think I have to do and say things to make people like me, I don't...I just have to be myself, I can be the best of myself without being perfect.
