I've come close to actually doing it once because these people hurt my feelings and I feel that I should make them pay in an and every way. I'm very nervous because I've started to want to harm my mom. She just doesn't understand me and makes assumptions and it makes me so angry that I run around to stop.

Hi afeelingd,
I'm not a professional, but know the feeling and I really think that anger like that, being fearful, feeling that people are trying to harm your or that people don't respect you or that people don't want to be with you is just part of your depression. This is a trick that fooled me for a long time and I think it fools many people. Your anger is real. The reasons that you are angry are real reasons and your perceptions of the situations making you angry are likely to be correct perceptions. The trick is that all of this is misdirecting you away from the true underlying problem. The true underlying problem doesn't have anything to do with the people you are angry at or with the reasons for your anger. None of that makes any difference. It doesn't even matter whether your perceptions are accurate or not. If you want to read about what I think is actually going on and what to do about it, start here
