Does it help to know that depression is a liar? Perhaps you can identify the lies that yours is telling you. You might better be able to appreciate the warping of perceptions that depression exerts on everyone who suffers from it.
You might be reacting to the pain and frustration that depression is causing you by becoming globally angry at everyone and everything. This is a matter of the psyche and can be changed. It might also be that agitation is a matter of the abnormalities in the function of the brain that can occur with depression. This agitation presents as anger, for which you must search out a culprit when there really is none. The culprit you have chosen to assign blame to is you. I guess there is the appearance of logic here. If it is not everyone else who is responsible for your "reprehensible" behavior, it must therefore be you. After all, there is no one left to blame.
Do you feel that there is a lack of communication and self-disclosure with the people around you regarding what you experience in life while you are in your ill state? You might stop blaming yourself for the manifestations of a biological illness for which you have little control over. You are not responsible. I am sure that you are doing the best that you can with what you have to work with.
I like you. Why is that?
