My depression is manifesting itself as anger. My husband and daughter are constantly telling me this and point out everything that I do that is done in anger. All I do is switch off and hide behind a wall and all their advice and suggestions runs off like water, non of it goes in.

If I open up, I just don´t feel that they understand anything about me and when they ask me questions my answers just don´t make sense to them which, in turn, fuels my anger as I feel more alone than ever when I open up and ask for help.

Has anyone here successfully found a way of communicating needs from depression to their family without ending up enraged and walling themselves away? Don´t know if I´ve explained myself properly here...
