I am SO angry, I've been crying a lot, I pushed all friends away!
Question Posted Tuesday August 3 2010, 10:31 am
So I've been feeling kind of down for about 4 years. Recently it has gotten worse...I just broke up with my boyfriend because I've been so stressed about everything. I snap at a lot of people it could be anyone...I have so much anger and I've been crying a lot. I've pushed away all my friends and have no determination or drive. I don't know what to possibly do.
Any advice?

Fun topic. I know.
A big part of therapy is coping skills. Depression most commonly rises when coping skills do not match life stresses, and you begin to feel overwhelmed. A long enough time period, and you get alot of what you just described in brief.
Therapy is about someone who knows more than you talking to you and helping you shore up your coping, figure out how to handle and move past whatever issues are dragging you down.
Word of warning. Talk to more than one. Like doctors, there are good and bad therapists. Some will do nothing and take your money, some will listen, take an interest, and fix you. If your first session doesn't come with a ton of questions and them trying to get to know you, consider looking for a new therapist.

People that are bipolar do things out of inpulse and can get angery one moment and ok the next and withdraw from people to . There are medications out there like SRI [seritoin reuptake inhibiters] that will help you along with counceling . But becareful about taking these medications because they cause side efects. But please don't. Let this go on without any help because your problem can get worse . Take my advice and go see a doctor you owe to your self and the people you care for [ bigunored1's advice column | Ask bigunored1 A Question ]

By talking about your feelings, you will feel better.I feel the same way you do a lot, but if I tell someone whats going on, and get advice from them, I tend to feel better. Just remember to breathe when your feeling down or upset or angry. Maybe start a new hobbie to get some more drive for things. Hope I helped!
