Can't imagine severe depression (been there) manifesting as anger.
A specific example or two of the kind of interactions you're having will help. Without that, I wonder if you're trying to explain to them how you feel (i.e. what it means to be depressed), and not having been depressed / having no reference point, they aren't getting it and that's frustrating, which comes out like anger..

I think a well as frustration I´m feeling resentment that they "don´t" help me when I´m low. At the moment I´m feeling ok and can accept that they do try everything in their power to help me but they just don´t know how to help me when I´m feeling low and can´t motivate myself to get out of bed for hours at a time and just lie there and cry. I´m trying to understand what going on and not sure how to but the idea of frustration turning to anger has made me think about resentment as they have no reference point.
Thanks for helping me. I hate feeling angry and want to understand why I feel that way a lot of the time. I have my first appointment with a therapist in 20 years on Monday, I´m a little scared but trying to understand and make a change.
