Yes I have read online that anger, pain and depression do go hand in hand. It goes in cycles with a person becoming irrationally angry and then later calming down and feeling depressed again. This has happened to me some and I have started to control the feelings of anger better. I am not outwardly angry and it is more that I feel angry.
I just have trouble it seems with "letting things go." If something bothers me I think about it too much and I need to fix it or move on.
bingo!
thay sums it up for me, I can go crazy with going over things in my head. the funny thing is when I'm raging in my head, I've had people tell me how nice and calm I am in general? if you only knew, you would run!
with that said I can be happy, and not depressed or angry.
Yes I agree I can be angry on the inside and then later on in the day I relax and feel ok, even happy. I am learning more about negative thinking and how a person can learn to quell the negative thinking. I still have the issue of thinking about something and trying to let it go. It is just that I often feel that I made a mistake in the past and why didn't I do x, y and z instead of a, b and c.
