anger and agression

[zeemiller]

i am under the steps to change programme and each time one course is compleated i have to be re reffured in order to do another etc.
the next course in the not to distant future is a course for anger management, as after my assesment it was found that this would help further my progress etc.

do many people using the site have problems with anger and agression linked to depression???

i get irritated far too easy and it happens out of my control i now carry a stress ball with me as mostly other people drive me mad either making too much noise or getting in the way or just showing total lack of consideration to others, and guess just wondered how other people found anger and agression eg is it part of all depression or?????

thanks for reading through my random thoughts 8-)

I always become irrationally angry about silly things just before the depression proper hits me

I do get very irritated and frustrated.  I get angry that I cannot do the things I used to do without thinking about.

Hopefully you will get some coping mechanisms with the course you attend.

yes very much. my anger is linked to my low self esteem, lack of assertiveness, inferiority complex and lack of control over my life. All can be related to my depression. I am highly stressed and irritable as well

thanks for replying to the msg as at times with problems the thought of "its just me thats like this" comes into mind etc, this site helps me realise how many other have same issues and problems, i will attend the course on anger management and inform on here how it goes as ive never done a course on that before.

I get very irritable at 'little things'  - the noise of other people eating, talking too loudly etc. I also get very agngry both at myself and at others when they show a lack of consideration - not to me personally, but just in general x

Used to get angry. I rarely do now. I think it is compeltly irrational in nearly all circumstances. If I find myself becoming angry, I ask myself why I feel this way. If another person is involved, I make an effort to see things from therir point of view, and I usually find that anger on my behalf is projection. I do have limits, to it takes a while to trigger me off.
