Hey anna...

If it's any consolation or probability that we're suffering from the same thing ... I'd partly blame the meds. I'm on Effexor at the moment and am in withdrawal mode since my pdoc wanted to lower it.

Man oh man, I've never been so cranky ... at least in a long time.

Sometimes we just get angry or frustrated and we're not sure of the reasons... it is pretty normal. Some people are more angry than others. Some express it differently as well. How do you normally act when you're angry or frustrated?

Sometimes being depressed is exhibited by being angry too. Some people think that depression is all about feeling sad or "blah" or not feeling emotion at all... not entirely true! Some people just get a bit more angry.

If it's bothering you, I'd really go back and talk to your social worker. Any particular reason why you're not talking to him or your psychiatrist at the moment??

Sometimes we just need to take more time for ourselves. Learn to "deep breathe" and to relax. I've heard some people use yoga, or go for a walk.

If you're really angry though - do express it!! Bottling it up is a bad idea.
