Anger vs. Depression


21 years ago 0 1062 logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo logo 0
Hi. To the person taking a test, they often don't seem to really hit the exact mark, because each person's experience is different from the next person's. However the test covers different aspects and the replies to these give the experts clues as to where to look more. They are merely an aid. Anger is a part of your scenario, but something is at the root of it. A competent therapist or psychiatrist is the person to help you with this. First, why not get that part of it over with and then together you can tackle what is behind it all? This message was edited by AM on 9-8-03 @ 3:07 PM

I've taken a handful of these online "depression" tests, but I have to admit I don't feel like how these tests gravitate towards. I definitely score high on the intense feelings of frustration but none of the tests really seem to hit the mark for me. Things have gotten bad and I don't sleep well along with some of the other benign questions initially asked, but most of all, I'm just really really pi**ed off. I'm so frustrated and angry that I become even more frustrated, but I don't think about suicide and I don't explode into rage against anyone or myself. It's more like the angrier I get, I get even angrier by analyzing the things that are making me angry in the first place. What happens is that I'm closing off more and more and disconnecting myself as much as I can from anything I can find a way to disconnect from. When I stop feeling angry, then I start feeling what I classify personally as "depressed." I don't know if that's what depression is though, so I go online and take these tests and then it's obvious that I guess I'm really not _that_ depressed, according to these tests. All I know is that I'm not feeling suicidal, I'm not being a threat to others, and that nothing is going right and there's nothing that I can do about it. So, without going into (even more) detail, what's the connection or disconnection between massive frustration/anger and depression? Thanks
