Why am I so angry all of a sudden about my past (read desc)?

I’m not going to go into it, but I’ve had a very.. colourful.. past and have been through untreated depression among other mental problems that I suffered for many years (although I didn’t know I was sick, and because I had nobody else to care for me, it went totally unnoticed until later years). I have recently (about 6 months ago) truly become well again (I’ve been fine for about one and a half years before that but it was only in the past 6 months that I’ve truly regained my confidence and brought some life back to myself as a person). Anyway, as you all know, I have left work and moved away from home in order to just have a change of lifestyle and a bit of adventure and I’m now doing pre entry art in college. I looove it down here, Im with so many amazing people and I’m really happy with everything. But in the last few days I have been getting really angry over everything that I have been through, it’s kind of like a ‘why me!?’ anger but it’s a lot stronger. I’ve been through the whole ‘why me’ episode, so it’s not like it’s a new thing, I just don’t understand why it’s coming right now… Y’know what I mean? I am so happy here and I don’t get why I’m angry about the past when I know I can’t change it and I’m trying to really move on. It actually feels like now that I know what it’s like to live a happy life, I’m grieving for the time I lost when I was younger. Is this possible and how can I stop this feeling!!!???

Answer #1

Well depending on how depressed you are it can be a recurring thing like you’ll be happy for a period of time then go back to how you used to be, it’s pretty much a cycle. A lot of depressed people have a short temper and get angry easier - it’s actually one of the symptoms. If you think this is going to keep recurring and you want to get better permanently or longer try going to a therapist and talk about it, see what they say you should do.

Answer #2

I have suffered from deppresion and and anxiety and have have severe angrey breakdowns so i can relate.

I kno this sounds stupid but ive tried pills and a therapist and the only thing that worked for me is mediataion and a mostly natural diet. I am 16 and when i changed my diet that effected my moods alot and my diet wasnt even that bad. Meditation just helps clear your head abit which is major for people like us who have thoughts constanlty goin through our heads thats hard to stop. If you want an easy meditation method that you can do once a day or even just once a week that is easy and helpful jsut message me and i will tell you it. it really helps.

Answer #3

Well, I as well suffered from depression, anxiety and other issues in the past. Obviously, I’m no psychiatrist but this is sort of similar to what I was like last year. Perhaps you actually weren’t as well as you thought you were the past 6 months? Perhaps you still had some anger left bottled up inside that’s becoming apparent now. Does this anger stem from anything like feeling like you do not deserve this sort of happiness, or perhaps this new happiness seems too foreign and strange to you?

Answer #4

I have no idea, but I’ve never been angry before over anything, I’m just not an angry person.. s this is kind of freaking me out.

Answer #5

I have anxiety problems and I feel depressed and angry sometimes because I worry if it will happen again in future (i’m getting better) and I feel like most of my childhood has been wasted :’( (i’m 13 and i have had anxiety problems since i was quite young) Anyway I hope the best for you… :)
