It’s getting to the point know that I’m fearing that I will lose my job. My anger has become out of my control. I’m swearing at work, losing my temper and becoming extremely mardy with people. People who are “friends” . If I lose my job then I really will have nothing and my life will become thousands of times worse. I’m barely getting by now. Financially I’m hand to my mouth right now. Becoming jobless will really put me under pressure and exacerbate my current depression. I know that I should go gym to release this anger. Last time I was this this angry I was going gym 5/6 times a week, 2-3 hours at a time and it lasted for months. Any time I took time off from the gym I would get depressed again. I was a lot younger then as well and had the energy to recover quickly and not feel tired to do other things. Now, I’m tired easily and takes longer to recover. It’s the time during recovery that I start getting depressed again. It’s a vicious cycle. Also, I don’t want to spend all my time at the gym. But I think I must. If I want to get somewhat better and not lose my job.

Hmm, I’ve struggled with anger issues in the past. A lot of people in my family have, I think it comes from a place of depression. For me it took distance, but I’m not sure if I’m the poster child for getting past this. Do you mind if I ask what you get angry about?
Anger is a healthy emotion you just need to find a way to express it appropriately.
At work, it is particularly difficult.
IMO, your anger is a sign of deeper discontent. You need to understand where it comes from and why. Going to the gym and working out that hard, you are just running away from the issue.
You are treating the consequences but not the root cause.
