My normal anger is good too, it is protective. I like that term, the dignity emotion. That is good. Mine lately is serving no good purpose. It is not the normal reaction to an injustice, ect. It is an overreaction to an irritation that feels so pathological.
I am glad that yours is appropriate and that you can use it to improve your quality of life. That is what it is for and it is cool that you are getting this opportunity. The meditation is a great idea, I use to do that and got good results. Now I fall asleep as soon as I sit in a chair and start to relax. Maybe I should do it standing on my head. No, then I would probably get a stupid migraine.
I can't wait to see the pdoc today. I will let you know the upshot of the visit.donna

> I feel the irritablity but it has not gotten me into trouble. I think it has always been there under the surface. I'm sleeping half-way decently but I may investigate seroquel. At this point I'm relieved to be out of depression (most of the time) and trying to use the increased agressive feelings to my benefit. An example is my job. I have moved from a defeated feeling to more like.. this situation is pissing me off and I'm going to do something about it. I recently signed up for a career counseling program. My social life has sucked and I'm getting out a bit more. I'm thinking, if anger comes up is that a bad thing?

But I felt like if I didn't, I would either scream or slap her. Are you like this only on the patch? I am worse on the patch. something must be done. I just read a little about seroquil. I can't do anything that is going to make me sleepy all the time and crave carbs more than I already do. It is looking more like lamictal. But I am going to ask about bupe first.
