Depression And Anger

By Rhys Jones

Depression and anxiety are said to be the causes of uncontrolled anger. When a person is constantly worried about problems they have no control over or even problems they do have control over, it often causes depression. If you feel that, there is no hope then your depression can affect your life and cause you to drift down into a spiral of despair.

Taking charge of your emotions often produces good results. If you feel that the world is crumbling down around you, then you are probably thinking negatively, which brings on depression and anxiety. In this short piece, we will discuss some techniques to help you to cope with anxiety and depression, thus relieving uncontrollable anger.

Firstly, let us examine the symptoms. Do you feel like you are going out of your mind? Do you shout in your head: 'I can't take it any more?'. Do you feel like someone is out to get you? Do you think people view you as a crazy person? If you are undergoing any or all of these symptoms then you are probably suffering from some form of anxiety and depression.

If you can not find a way to think differently, then you will probably explode when your emotions soar and your anger bursts forth. Instead of telling yourself that you are out of your mind, why not tell yourself that you are temporarily emotionally disturbed and that you need to resolve the situation. Review all the problem areas carefully and search your memory to see if there are answers to your problems there. Reviewing like this, often opens doors to resources you may have overlooked.

If you feel like someone is out to get you then you might have a chemical imbalance or a mental illness. Why not visit your doctor or a mental health expert to learn more about your symptoms and find a way to gain control of your life. Anxiety and depression can play tricks with your mind but sometimes the thoughts are the result of a lack of chemical balance.

If you think that people think you are going crazy, you may care to remember that most people have their own problems and don't have time to analyze you as a person. When you walk into a room and think that people are staring at you, you might want to remember that all people observe the things around them, checking to make sure that everything is all right around themselves before returning to their own lives.

If you feel that you cannot take it any more, just bite your lip and walk another mile. When times are difficult, it does not mean it is the end of the world, although sometimes it may seem this way. If you are struggling to pay bills, fighting to hold a family together, or having difficulty with your children then remember that we all have these problems at some time or another in our lives.

Are your children driving you nuts? If they are, take time out. Go and do something entertaining or some exercise. This very often relieves the stresses that lead to anxiety, depression and anger. Life is just too short to worry about the things in life that you cannot change. If you have problems, the answers lie within you, so it pays to look into your head.

If you are really struggling to obtain your goals then you might want to break them down into smaller more realistic segments and work slowly to achieve them. If you set goals that are achievable, you will not need to get stressed finding a way to reach your target.

It is vital to pamper yourself each day. Learn some relaxation techniques that will benefit both your mind and your body. If you feel snowed under, you might want to breath in and out deeply 10 times.

Stretching out on a sofa to watch your favourite movie can relax your mind and body, if you want to destress. Learn to focus on what you are doing instead of fretting about what you are not doing. This often clears the mind and helps you to relax.

If you are subject to unbridled anger, you will most likely have problems for the rest of your life unless you start to take control of your emotions. Remember that depression leads to uncontrollable anger. - 16890
