Jay, I'm not sure what to suggest for you. Normally, I have a sweet, kind, understanding nature but when my depression's been bad, I don't get sad but angry instead - extremely angry. I want to jump out of the car & punch someone just for forgetting to turn on a left turn signal & I'm stuck behind them at a light. I've physically grabbed kids by the collar & plucked them out of my path when they've been insolent brats & wouldn't move. I'm not a scary person in the least, but people have swerved out of the way when I walk with my angry face & determined stride. And it's almost laughable as I'm only 5'5" & 120., but I really want to hit people or spit on them. I find people in general repugnant when I'm depressed, myself included often.
One AD (Manerix) I took changed my anger into rage. It was scary, even for me. Have you ever tried Provigil (modafinil)? I know it's used for narcolepsy & sometimes for ADD, but I find it a remarkable AD too. It increases my motivation & quiet contentment. And when I take Dexedrine (a stim), I feel so much more mellow. I beam at people walking by & feel more at peace with the world. I know I'm not the only one affected this way either.
