Have you ever seen a therapist? That’s one idea.
Also, slow, deep breathing helps with both anxiety and anger.
thanks for your response
ive been thinking seeing someone but here (in the uk) it takes about 4 months to get an appointment on the national health service for something like that… ive been trying deep breathing wich helps to an extent but i always have this level of anxiety/resentment.. ive tried slaming things about too to try and get rid of anger but it doesnt seem to satisfy!
Yikes! That’s a long time to wait. You might want to get on a waiting list while you get other help too. I’ll invite a few people to help.

just remember good/bad times come in cycles if you are going through a bad time now bettwer times will happen go for walks, meet ew people, start a new hobby so that you can begin to think of positive things.
There are lots of ways to reduce anxiety. My husband has an anxiety issue and he takes meds for it now. Before he got on the meds though simple things like taking a walk or run, taking a bath, working out, finding something that relaxes you is most important. For me, it’s cooking. When I am feeling like this, I cook up a storm! I would suggest the same as JoJo, get on the list now, in hopes that you can find your own way to deal with it, but if you can’t you have the other option on the way!
Good luck,
Jen
Mandy, perhaps an attitude and perspective adjustment would help relieve this pressure you are feeling. Let us begin with who you are. However you would choose to describe yourself know this, you are a totally unique human being. There is no other you on this planet. No one will live your lifetime but you. No one has the power to define who or what you are. You are the only one that possesses that power unless you choose to put in the hands of another. If you understand these basic truths of you then you can understand that these truths also apply to every other human being on this planet. Once you grasp this wisdom you can incorporate it into your tool chest of life. If you find yourself judging another and it causes you pain ask yourself why in the world you want that job. Also, you have not lived every second of their lifetime so how sure are you that you can judge them fairly? In all fairness, if you are going to judge another you must first make sure you do not make the same mistakes. In other words, allow yourself the pleasure of taking all that extra time you will have on your hands and use it in creating ways to make you a better person. What do you think?
wow, such quick responses - i think i am going to ask my dr to put me on that list.. maybe even doing something like that will make me feel better, just baby steps.. to be honest it has helped just putting it out there and hearing that im not the only one… i know i need to change my perspective but its easy to say and harder to honestly DO IT..
i think what relaxes me is to be creative and make things for others or myself - but the mood im in i dont feel like taking it on
hi carter-j could i ask what meds your husband is on and whether he tried anything natural before going onto prescription drugs?
thanks for your help guys

If you are feeling invalidated, used and abused try attracting people into your lifetime that will not invalidate, use or abuse you.
yes i think i am very irritable and unfortunately (or maybe fortunately!) i tend to keep it to myself… thats probably what makes me overreact from time to time…
i do feel invalidated etc but honestly i think that feeling comes more from me and not from other people… i tend to put a negative spin on what people say or the way they act towards me althoug i dont realise that at the time, in retrospect if i look at the situation later i can see myself kind of being paranoid.
If you can agree that you have a tendency to function as your own worst enemy at times, change roles to functioning as your own best friend.

ok so the test said moderate to severe! thats a bit of an indicator eh.. i guess i will speak with my dr asap… maybe i should readjust my attitude to medication… im just scared of unbalancing things even more, of treating symptoms rather than finding the cause, i certainly dont want to be on meds for a long time!

Mandy,
Looks like you have got some great help! My husband takes Alprazolam. He did not try anything natuaral, so I don’t know where to lead you there. Let me know how it goes!
Jen
