Depression is nothing new for me. Neither is anxiety. But lately I find I am irritable and angry. I get annoyed over every little thing and I imagine I’m driving the very few people I have, absolutely mad. What is one to do?
Been there. The only thing that worked for me was repeating to myself mentally on a daily basis that i must analyze what i’m being told before reacting back (because people don’t have the fault that i’m fucked up inside). After a while it became a habit and i stopped replying in a bad manner (unless i wanted to).
wait till your not actively angry and write each of them a letter- not a text or an email- something they can hold- explain how you feel, apologize for past hurts, let them know you appreciate them, and ask them for a little more patience and help as you conquer these demons
they will have your kind and sincere letter to help them get through the rough patches when you are unable to show that side of yourself-
it’s like you’re giving them a little part of you

Same thing has been happening to me as well. Honestly, sometimes I can’t even stand myself.
