Hello SteinerofThule,
I noticed on your profile page and on your sanity score that you have a few mental health issues. It's no wonder you feel angry at times when you are trying to cope with anxiety and PTSD amongst other issues.

So above we can see that you are trying to cope with all these issues. If you saw these scores for someone else I think you would feel compassion and understanding for them. This is what you need to do for yourself. Be gentle with you and try not to turn that anger inwards.
Your sig pic above is very fitting as it shows that if you keep that anger bottled up, at some point the bottle explodes when you eventually try to open it. So the best way to cope with anger, is not to deny it but let it out in short bursts. Punch a pillow, throw a wet rag, exercise, paint or draw, write out your frustrations and then burn it (quite liberating actually) and talk about it. The guilt and shame you feel belongs to somebody else, can you recognise what triggers those feelings. It is ok to feel angry, in fact it is a healthy emotion to have otherwise anxiety and depression can take over. They say that depression is grief and anger locked up.
I see that you are in therapy, please let your T know how you are feeling and let your psychiatrist know as it may be that you need an adjustment to the medication. Sending you a hug >>>>
