I have for about three years now been exercising nearly daily. It has taken many different forms, from just simple long walks, to swimming, to running, to hiking. Over the last year or so I have been incorporating strength training 3-4 times per week. I have noticed a few times over the last month or two, as I have tried to up my training intensity, that I feel angrier with people, more quickly annoyed and like it's taking all the restrain I have not to scream at people. If my testosterone levels are going up (because of weight training) could that cause my depression and anxiety to take a more aggressive turn?

I just did a search for "testosterone levels going up because of weight training", and it looks to me like the effect is only short-term. However, the way you have worded "as I have tried to up my training intensity" might indicate a combination of a bit of frustration of some kind along with the rise? Just a guess to ponder...
In my own case, trying to exercise very much at all is aggravating, depressing and makes me "snappy" because of the physical pain I experience.
