I find myself incredibly pissed the eff off. True everything about my day seems to fall apart. BUT WHY IS EVERYTHING SO IRRITATING?!?
I can't let anything go. Everything is like nails on a chalkboard. I don't understand why people are so stupid. Why is everything I'm trying to accomplish turning to s**t? Nothing is getting done. Everyone needs to have things explained 10 times. And still they aren't getting stuff done. I know that any given situation does not require this must animosity from me. It should not be a big deal. Why can't I just take a deep breath and let it go... like I normally do... Why can't I control these feelings when I KNOW how irrational it is to respond in such extremes? If I can recognize my own irrationality, then why can't I control my response?? I know it has to do with my depression affecting my energy level with a big helping of panic attack, but still, WTF....

i understand this SO well. I have been walking around in an invisible rage uniform and almost everything makes me either have an anxiety attack or lash out in anger. And, me being me (meaning hating to be a burden on others), I have been doing my best to internalize it and not to show it to people.... But, when I come home, I scream in anger, cry uncontrollably, tear up all my pillows.
The funny hing is people have no idea. At work, for instance, I act so calm (people actually told me that I am one the most level headed employees, so wtf?) but as soon as I get the rage, I go out to my car and start hitting the seat cushions and return to my office. This has been like this for very long time. It is really exhausting and overwhelming. I cannot make any plans because I cannot rely on my anger. I have been extremely moody, with my rage poking its head in every little frustration. It has been so overwhelming. I hate this with every little cell in my body.

I have agitation with depression and I have periods where everything is intolerable and I feel like anger is about to erupt in me at the smallest things. Noise is a big trigger for me. I take medication for it.

I don't know if this resonates with you or helps, but .... For me being p***ed off at everything and everyone is usually the extreme frustration. So I don't think it's completely irrational. It's just not helpful. Because it's frustration, I find that getting something else done can help me feel less powerless and frustrated. Anything. But when I'm in the midst of it, and feel that all people are just a bunch of arrogant, hypocritical, self-centered, obstructionist twerps (*cough*, *ahem*  ), I stick to tasks or activities that don't require interaction with other people. Physical stuff works better for me in most cases.But in general, you can also look to any of the coping techniques for emotional distress (DBT, ACT, et. al.). Although I know how very hard that can be sometimes.

Irritability is a symptom of depression.

I can relate. That happens to me as well when I'm particularly stressed... it's not your fault.

Anger is not irrational it just is. I get that way when I’m depressed or in a mixed mania episode. I feel like I want to yell at my husband and demand that he stop blinking so loud.

I feel angry too. I miss the days when I didnt feel angry!! I find myself getting irritated at other people a lot more and I'm having to hold it in a lot. Maybe it is something to do with not feeling so good
