I don’t know why I’m mean lately?

[Anonymous]

I’m going to therapy and I’m on new antidepressant medication but I’m just angry all the time now… my therapist says I’ve just been through a lot of trauma but it’s never been this bad or I usually I can mask it but now I’m all over the place I don’t understand. I’ve been working out , cleaning , taking care of myself but I just feel like a shit friend and daughter lately

Stress? For me it’s usually stress and emotions getting to me

[Asker]

It honestly feels like my anxiety is through the roof so ya probably

[JaxiCats]

Yea it happens and honestly when I faced the possibility of me having trauma from past relationships it made my anxiety flair up

[Asker]

Ya honestly I don’t think I ever took my trauma seriously they are teetering on me having BPD or just severe ptsd but regardless both stem from trauma

[JaxiCats]

Yea. I don’t have bpd but I have ADD or at least suspect that I do and a mood disorder so I not only find it hard to focus on stuff but I also get irritated easily and get emotional fast

[Asker]

Adhd and add runs in my family but my doctors don’t ever talk about it being a problem which I feel like it is

[JaxiCats]

You gotta bring it up

[Asker]

Oh I have multiple times but they haven’t diagnosed me with it yet

[JaxiCats]

That’s odd

Everyone responds differently when they've been through trauma and dealing with any mental health illness. Maybe the way you handle/cope/deal with your trauma is anger. It's normal, don't stress. It'll pass.

[Asker]

Maybe it’s because I’m actually looking at my trauma and finally saying it’s not okay before I shrugged it off and didn’t really let myself be upset. It was a very much it happened and I was able to talk about it freely but it because I didn’t take it seriously

I don't know why you mean, either. I don't even know what that question means.

[Asker]

Did you read the explanation? lol

[FunkyMonkee]

Yes.

[Asker]

Okay lol

[Danny_dan92]

Maybe seek a therapist. It helps

[Asker]

I have been that’s why it baffles me that I have less control now

[Danny_dan92]

Find out what’s bothering you

[Asker]

… that’s what we’ve been doing lmao the thing is I’ve been able to talk about stuff freely I’m almost too open with my stuff. But I’ve never been this much of an asshole and it may not even be through anger

[Danny_dan92]

Well shit I don't know

[Asker]

Sorry it’s just a lot but thank you for your comment
