[QUOTE=WaterSkies;2313249]I've had this problem since I was 15 (I'm 23 now) but for the last 5 months it seems to have gotten out of control. Before I would get angry easily but it would just blow over in about an hour or two and leave me either feeling upset and crying or I would feel just empty. Though over the past 5 or so months it's been getting worse. Little things set me off now, like my dad coughing or even just talking to me gets me so angry and frustrated. I can feel the anger and rage just building up and building up then suddenly it just flips over into depression...

Hello, I agree that a therapist will help you most, but I just want to add something I have discovered about myself and my anger, because it sounds very much like yours. For years I had an undercurrent of anger inside of me, and I think it was because I never confronted anyone when they hurt me emotionally. When I say 'confront', all i mean is letting the person know in the kindest but most revealing way how they hurt me. I kept the anger in because I did not feel safe letting it out & was afraid to confront anyone; but keeping it in made me feel sad because I was not being true to myself, or protecting myself the way I deserved; it's related to my low self-esteem. The best way I've found to get rid of the anger is to use language as skillfully as possible to be honest and kind at the same time so the person really gets the message. Anyway, hope this makes some sort of sense and helps you.
