Thanks. I basically never get truly angry, unless someone clearly means to seriously harm me. If they can't harm me I also don't get truly angry. Only when they have the possibility. Or when I'm severely depressed and suicidal. I scream at random people that say or do something that's slightly mean. I truly regret those events, but when you can't stop thinking about suicide, any slight annoyance either makes me angry and lash out OR makes me feel even more miserable.
I hope you're doing good :)
Totally hear you, controlling my own anger has been a long journey over the past 10 years but it’s truly liberated me from a negative feedback loop I absolutely did not need. I’m doing really good now, because of it (thank you for asking).
Keep being great and striving for greatness because, from your post, you really deserve it. Hope you’re doing good too!
I'm doing wonderful. Have been eithymic for 1.5 years thanks to lithium and Seroquel. Found the perfect medication for me after 3 years of rapid cycling, multiple psych ward stays and suicide attempts.
Lithium. Heaven.
I can finally work again. I found a job that I'm happy with. My life is worth living again.
So thrilled to hear that and I’m so happy for you. Thank you for persevering and staying around; we’re lucky to have you. Keep spreading that empathy and understanding, and sharing your tales that help others understand and grow. ☮️
