My boyfriend was prescribed Prozac last year and I'm starting to think that this isn't the right thing for him. The littlest anxiety and it manifests itself as anger. Even simple things like grocery shopping. If the store is busy and he feels anxious by the crowds, it comes out as anger. I know he doesn't mean to snap at me and typically it only takes a few minutes before he realizes that his anger was unnecessary. But I can't figure out why everything comes out as anger. I feel like I never see other emotions. Scared = anger. Nervous = anger. How can I help him realize the other emotions that are hiding behind this anger? I understand that most men don't like feeling vulnerable but it's really wearing on me.
