yeh I guess hormones must have some sort of influence, cos at the age of 14/15 was my worst period when I started trying to top myself. I read somewhere, however, that what you eat can also affect ur moods greatly. Sugary foods and high carbohydrates, I think, cause ur body to release more of the hormone insulin, which affects ur mood cos its a hormone. Lately I've been trying (reluctantly) to go on a healthy brown bread diet and see if it helps. We're supposed to be MORE irritable when we are high in sugar, and depressed when we are low in sugar, so we need to find a balance. (second opinions welcome). Lately I've been fine apart from a few weeks ago, I started getting angry for no reason and basically smashed all the furniture in my room. I been told to pack up and get out cos my family 'hate' me but when everyone calmed down we talked it over. Neither side meant it although I still feel bad for causing so much trouble. But just because things start to go wrong again doesn't mean you should give up. Your efforts are worthwhile. Are there any other underlying reasons u can think of for your anger?
