What can I do to stop being so angry, depressed, stressed, and overwhelmed all the time?

[smahala1991]

I have a lot going on right now with family and work and I stay stressed and overwhelmed all the time. I also stay angry And I used to never be this way. Is it my age?

Find a hobby or activity which gives you peace. I get stressed out by MANY things. And consequently have MANY hobbies. I recently had a very heartbreaking experience. It hurts me to dwell on it- makes me bitter and angry- probably just like you're feeling. So I took up and taught myself violin. I don't know why, but it really helps me. When I perform for people, they observe someone with talent or a new hobby. But on the inside, it's so much more than that- it's a symbol of heartbreak, sorrow and emotion that I am otherwise unable to express otherwise- it's the vehicle by which I express those feelings thereby giving me peace.

I did, among other things... the following (for depression, overwhelming stress, some anxiety, no anger issues but I guess it would work as well)

- I forced myself to get back into sports, with friends
- I temporarily moved in with a friend, as to not isolate myself, which I did lots
- I got myself into kick-boxing practice, with my brother and his friends
- I changed my diet drastically... from an unhealthy one, to a balanced one, quit the excesses I had (mostly sodas)
- I went to general check-ups with doctors (four times a year)
- I got myself into a demanding job (a physical one that kept me busy and distracted)
- I could have gone to seek professional therapy but instead I just reached and opened up with my best and closest friends

Try meditation and writing out declarations like “I entrust my care to the universe knowing my needs will be fulfilled if I’m kind and honest and hard working etc…”

Yes, our age can have a lot on how we act also maybe you may need counseling

Prioritize the things you need to get done or deal with and deal with them one thing at a time. Eventually the list is gonna get smaller.

and invest in ways to reduce your stress.

You need to see a therapist. It is not your age.
