Are anxiety and anger related? I have had so much anxiety lately. And been so angry. Are they the same? I don't even know what I'm feeling anymore. I am just on overload, really stressed out. I feel my anxiety shoot sky high at the littlest thing, can't sleep when this happens, just obsessing about it. Like today at work, a collaborator sent me an email bawling me out for picking up some materials from her office yesterday as she hadn't had a chance to look at them yet. Well, her boss had called me previously and asked me to pick them up so she wouldn't have to deliver them to me, so I did. I thought I was being helpful, then I get bawled out. This little incident made me so angry, I could feel my blood pressure rise in a flash. Normally, this sort of misunderstanding would not bother me at all. I would just realize it was miscommunication between this person and her boss and I was caught in the middle, no big deal. What is wrong with me? Why do I overreact like that and stress about these things and get angry? Am I anxious? Am I angry? Are they the same? I normally don't even get angry at things that would make the average person mad. I am uncontainable.
