So much anger

I am just angry with everything and I have no inspiration. I see posts on Facebook that are all hearts and flowers and how grateful people are for things and it makes me angry. Then I get more angry with myself that I am not grateful for things. I don't like my life right now but there is nothing really wrong with it. I have the things I need yet I am still angry.

My husband is angry all the time too and he yells at the kids and pets and no one has the energy to do anything. Everything is a chore and my house is a mess.

I worked really hard to get better and get off my meds but I am afraid I made the wrong decision. On meds I was comfortably numb. Now I feel everything and I am angry.

I won't go back on meds unless I lose my mind and am forced to. People would have to commit me and inject me to get me back on meds so that is not up for discussion.

I want to have another child, but I am not sure my husband wants to even though he pretends to. He just puts up a wall between us and is tired all the time. He also has referred to me as a B-word, though I made a big deal about that and he hasn't for a couple of weeks. I know what he thinks of me, though.

I guess I am just unhappy right now. There isn't much to do about it but I don't want to pathologize my life and assume all this is bipolar.

I am trying to start a health coaching business but I don't feel particularly healthy right now either mentally or physically. I am feeling like a fraud and a failure.

Sorry to not be here for a while, and then dump all over you all. Just shows what a crappy person I really am.

Please don't be so harsh on yourself. You're going through a hard time, and no one is perfect.

Exercise helps me a lot when I'm really angry. Do you have a gym membership?

I do, but right now I have a back injury and can't work out.

Things people normally suggest for your average anger problems, aside from exercise, would be counseling (with your husband or by yourself), meditation, aromatherapy, and even certain types of teas or natural supplements that have calming effects may help. Chamomile, Passion Flower, St. John's Wort, things like that.

You know what sometimes helps me? Take a really deep breath...and scream your head off at the top of your lungs into a pillow for as long as you can hold it. Sometimes the best way to get rid of it is to release it. It doesn't keep you from getting angry, but expressing it constructively is sometimes a good solution.

My bipolar makes me very angry. I don't fight with my husband but I'm amazed he stays. The only think that really helps me is meds - benzos or anti psychotics. Have you decided to remove all meds? I can relate about chores as well. This past funk has left me barely showering or dressing let alone cleaning. I wonder if you felt numb bc you were on too high of a dose or the wrong meds? Maybe now is a good time to get a 2nd opinion, and give yourself a well deserved break. Maybe it's too much to be grappling with the idea of pregnancy and a new business. I know for me the holidays bring enough stress.
