Have any of you heard anyone say that depression is anger turned inward? I don't remember where I heard that, but it just came to my mind & I am curious of anyone thinks there's any truth to it? I sometimes think that may be the case with me, as I am Always mad & disappointed in myself for not living up to my own expectations. Having said that, now I'm wondering if my "manic" episodes are nothing more than a build up of the depression exploding into a fit of rage because I get so tired of feeling so powerless against my problems?
