hey bybillion,
yep - constant companion. you mentioned bitterness, too. me, too. i have 2 sons and they have seen alot of anger and frustration from me. this is my greatest regret. i'm not a thrower, hitter or breaker, but a yeller for sure. my mother was a thrower, she's gone through numerous aquariums, don't know why her wrath is concentrated on those poor fish. maybe she likes the sound of breaking glass? who knows - i tried for years to understand her moods - goofy, i think you're right - we all show it in our own unique ways. i think maybe we are smart, we know we're smart, but can't conform and use our smarts productively. make you a deal bybillion, instead of yelling at your son -get on here instead and we can lob back and forth and try to get it out of our systems. i'm glad you admitted and wish more would participate in this discussion. isn't anger a huge part of depression? which comes first? the depression/anxiety which causes us partial disability which causes us to be angry?
or being angry makes us depressed? are we angry because we weren't loved enough? or understood? or cared about?
