yeah, Dinah, what rex said--why is angry unreasonable?
I'm angry, too. Only it's hard to be angry, and it is hard to articulate why I'm angry. I know why. But it slips right into depression when I feel powerless. But when I think about it, of course I'm angry. It is not unreasonable.
You have plenty grounds to be angry, with all the good girl expectations on you. But on top of that, you sound frustrated that the meds are not doing their thing as well as you want.
Are you angry at your therapist? Or at the responses you got from us to your questions about dealing with the therapist's personal issues?
Do you remember the movie "Network"? Feel like going to the window with me and screaming, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not gonna take it anymore!!"?
Actually, that image made me laugh and feel a bit better--the image of us social babblers, the angry ones, going to the window together, having a scream, and then feeling better, and all going out for dinner together to put our cares behind us.
Silly me.....
