I've beat depression and haven't relapsed for 2 years now. I've realised that I have an anger streak even without my depression. But yeah, during depression it can trigger a whole sequence of bad emotions and lead to a negative spiral. I found that the trick was to be mindful of my mood in general and realise what my triggers were (e.g. I get really angry when I get hungry). And so, knowing my triggers, I would be able to avoid the whole negative situation altogether (eat on time!). Otherwise you're trying to control your anger once it's already reared its ugly head and controlling that beast is hard. I write more about mindfulness when in depression in my book "Depression Blueprint". It's free to download on Kindle May 4 - May 8: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06ZXVMXWK

Yes hello,as I'm laying here going over things I just want to fade away.it is so overwhelming as well as heartbreaking to be here when I don't feel like I'm good for nothing.moodswings are awful and I know exactly how you feel about them.it doesn't take much of what someone says it's how they say it and the tone.But when I defend myself people just automatically think o Lord there she goes again or tell me I took it the wrong way or just ignores me.i just think it's best I stay away from everything and everyone cuz the struggle is real and I can't take the disappointment any more it just hurts too much.i love my family so much but they have no idea the battles I fighting every day in my mind a d if I try explaining it sounds stupid or I'm ashamed.its just no use.

I'm just the same terrible temper I think people are putting me down all the time no self esteem I'm 71 and the first 40 years of my life was full of sexuall and physical abuse how my partner now puts up with me I shall never know but had my tablets changed today so let's hope They help

I do suffer from mood swings and depression.i lash out at people sometimes because Ive been through so much in my life and had nobody to protect me so it puts me in defense all the time.A person may not mean something in a way that I take it but I attack with words and many times I find myself feeling so bad for the way u acted and people talk about me making me feel even worse.Ive even tried explaining myself but they don't understand.

I don't know that I have anger issues, but strong feelings often seems to exhaust me and ends with depressing thoughts. Then anger can returns because of the way depression affects my life, so yeah vicious circle.

Depression also comes after anger and bargaining in that '5 stages of grief' thing, so it makes sense to me.
