It's the days I go to the library and read something that's good for my soul. Yesterday when I tried I felt terrible and came home early only to be an emotional train wreck until I exhausted myself at 7pm, hit a brick wall, and passed out. Today at the library all I could feel was deep rage, and the frustration I have because I can't control it with whatever I try to do. I can't be myself even during the times after I have my anxiety attack each day and before I have my panic attacks each day. I don't know what to do! I'm miserable.
anger is really rough....for me abilify controls it but that's about it. You mentioned switching over, maybe this will get sorted when you get new meds? One thing though I found about reading was I couldn't always do it sometimes I just had to watch a movie or something that made the simple parts of my brain happy.....audiobooks are another compromise...I know it's not optimal but it might help calm you down.
