• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Lately I havent been taking my medicine, mainly because I can't get a psychiatrist. They have a thing where I live your you call in and someone asks you questions and if you get them right you will be able to get a psychiatrist, and if not your screwed. Well I am one of those unlucky ones. And lately I have been get very mad. For example, my mom came in the room where we keep the computer and was getting stuff, in the mean time I was getting upset cause she was in the same room as me, and thats not like me. Every little thing gets me upset, and it really gets me mad because I am mad.....lol. some times My mood swings a lot, because I am trying to get out of the mood I am in at the moment, but usually it is hard to get in that pleasant mood I guess. its like if im not mad I am depressed, if im not any of those i am anxiouse and sometimes I am a mix of those moods. I am also getting a little violent, trying to keep that under control but sometimes i break things. Im just ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

dont know if this is the right section to put this under, just didnt find an anger section :confused:

I am sorry to hear that you are having a hard time :( Im not a proffessional or anythign but i am going to school to become a psychologists, i plan on getting my doctor's in it. But i am kinda wondering, maybe what you are experiancing is whats called bi-poloar. Its basically a chemical imbalance that affects your emotions. One min you can be happay as a bee and the next your as mad as a bear. Bi-polor can be genetic do you know anyonein your family that is having this same problem or has had this problem?

As far as controlling your anger the best thing i can recommend is close your eyes and count to 10. Or say a prayer to God to help you calm down and control your anger. Maybe you just need to go take some time to be alone away from everyone. Like when you get upset with anyone invading your space just leave and go take a walk, and if its ur mom just when you ahve cooled down pull her aside and just tell her what youjust told CF and apologize if she took it personally.

You may also just be overwhelmed with stress with no way to releive it. Get involved with a sport, work out, run...find something constructive you can do to releive your stress.
For example my stress releiver is working out and playing softball if i have something to take my anger out on i amless likely to get get as angry as fast as before i started playing.

I hope something i said maybe helps some....:pray:

I will be praying for you :crossrc:

If you ever wanna talk just one pn one or anything feel free to msg me :)

Hi

I've had bipolar all my life. My first symptoms before a psychosis are - depressed/down stages, raging anger inside (often about things you don't really feel so angry about), constant dwelling on past events, extremely happy and airy moods and the fast cycling between these realities. If you are experiencing these symptoms PLEASE seek help before you are to late psychosis is to horrific to contemplate.

God bless you on your way.

well I usually cycle through those emotions rapidly. I am trying to seek help but I have to get evaluated through phone before I can get a psychietrist where I am at right now. I did get a second opinion,but they say I dont need help. but I feel like i am slipping more and more.

See if you can get third doctor tell him/her that you already seen two doctors about this and their conclusions. Then retell your story - leaving nothing out. Don't make it a sob story - rather a factual one. The times you cycle, all the different moods which take hold of you, the thoughts and there changes, the confusion. The depressions to bombard you - eating you alive with its negativity and fears. The highs and their elations which turns to emptiness in the end. Tell the doctor about your loved ones how things are standing. How brittle the rage all makes it. Tell the doctor about the madness that is taking hold of your inner control tower.
If after this you are still not diagnosed then it could well be true that you are not bipolar.

All the best.

there is a variety of issues that you might be going through besides depression. How long have you felt this kind of anger? Does it come and go or is it always people that set you off. You could have "explosive mood disorder" which can be dangerous if your not on medication. Hope you will try and talk it through with someone if you feel like hurting yourself or someone else.

Dear Shye

Indeed you are facing a real battle. I knew health provisions are bad in America but I suppose I didn't think it was that bad. Please don't commit any crimes. Especially rage can be destructive to you and your loved ones. If you grow progressively worse the mental health staff will at one stage accept the problem and provide some form of care (I hope) I will pray for your safety and upkeep.

Hi Shye

Medicare is a national health provision which helps low income patient to pay for their health costs. Prescription medication for example cost someone with little income the sum of Au$ 4,90. Hospital treatment is free.
and for the mentally ill there is a completely free service with staff of all kind of descriptions as well as qualified psychiatrists. Diagnoses is done by psychiatrists not mental health staff.

So far the Liberal Government has not dared to destroy this national icon of goodwill towards the less fortunate in society. Honestly Australia has a very good health care system compared to America.

(Instead of leaving America have you considered changing America from within?)
