Hi,
I have posted a few times in the last couple of weeks and my anxiety and depression seems to have got worse recently .
A lot of the symptoms I can tolerate on the whole as I have been suffering with GAD and social anxiety for many years but at the moment my temper can be bad in certain situations and I seem to struggle to control it . Normally I would walk away from situations or ignore them but my fight or flight is definitely fight! at the moment a red mist seems to descend and I swear out loud or square up to people who I feel have been bad mannered or rude.
It is the classic trigger situations such as busy shops, streets , buses etc. and loud noises can trigger a response. A lot of the time I regret my actions and try to remember not to fall for it again or get drawn in to petty squabbling or pushing when I feel someone is going to walk in front of me or jump a queue, I also get angry with people speaking loudly on mobile phones which I think is bad manners and intrusive.
I hope these stupid aggressive outburst will pass and I know that its my anxiety making it worse but I worry I will get myself in trouble or someone else, I don't think I would be violent but a meltdown in public would really upset me at the moment.
I hope I do not sound too much like a thug or a stereotypical male who is not dealing with his anger/anxiety issues, typing this down helps me put it into perspective and I wondered if any one else suffered with anger problems.
Cheers Bob:mad:
