Rage triggering depression?

*Trigger warning, I guess....*

I have really bad anger problems right now. My irritability and anger are very high.

Something happened earlier today (don't really want to go into the details) that made me severely p*ssed off, and now I just feel depressed. I feel depressed because I feel like I'm out of control and there's nothing I can do about it. What I mean is, I feel like I'm hopeless in controlling my anger. I feel like there's nothing I can do about it. No amount of medication or therapy has helped control it, and I don't see what can help it at this point. I feel like my life is hopeless if I can't even control my anger... if that makes sense. It's made me question my own existence because I feel hopeless and helpless.

Hoping this feeling passes, and that it's not a true depressive episode. (I've always suspected I had BPD, so it's possible it's something related to that. I'm a very reactionary kind of person.)

Hope it passes soon. Hugs!.

If you are otherwise stable, and you are feeling this out of control, it may be a variety of things. You should have your health checked out just in case. Blood pressure, lab work, whole nine. I hope you feel better soon and find your center.

Maybe you're having a bit of dysphoria? I suffer from it pretty bad and the only thing that helped me was trileptal and risperdal. So getting on a stabilizer and a AP for anger and rage.

Yeah, who knows where the irritability comes from. it could be from my ADHD, and I know that my pdoc won't treat my ADHD. Or it could be from anxiety. Or it could be from some medical condition. I wouldn't even know where to start

I don't know if it's dysphoria. Right now I just have constant thoughts of wanting to die...

I think I'm normally irritable, and all it takes is a minor thing to set me off.

So far, Latuda hasn't helped with anger and rage... and it's technically an AP. Nor does it really work for my depression. It's totally useless. The only thing it does is make me sleep a lot.

I'm currently titrating up on Lamictal, but I won't even be at a therapeutic dose until a month from now.

When I was titrating up on lamictal, everytime I went up a dose I got dysphoric. Just a thought. I went off it right away.

Yeah, it's entirely possible. I don't think I've really felt this way before taking Lamictal. I mean, I've gotten agitated depression before, but not like this.

I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 2am. Don't feel tired whatsoever. I have loads of energy, but a depressed mood. So, you're right -- it probably is dysphoria. :/

i now have part of the beginning of the rilo kiley song- a better son/ daughter going round in my head.
