Not necessarily. If you really WANT good mental health, you can develop some coping skills to help you. One class that is very helpful is "Wise Mind," or Dialectical Behavior Theory. DBT, when practised, helps you detach yourself from a situation long enough to decide on what emotional response you want to make. You can avoid anger and save face by practicing DBT. It saves relationships, and helps with self esteem. Ask your counselor about how/where to take the class.
Then there’s the ever present hit-or-miss medication problem. A little patience and good communication with your doctor will eventually result in a medication combination you can live with. Your life should even out at that point.
I’ve had bipolar disorder since 1978. I have been willing to try new medications whenever available. I now take seven per day and feel great!! I made a pact with each doctor I had, that I would call them whenever I was feeling suicidal in other than a fleeting way. I’ve rarely had to call. (I lost three members of my family to suicide, and I know firsthand the pain and agony suicide causes).
If you feel like your doctor isn’t working for you, get an appointment with a new one first, then cancel with the old one. That way you aren’t stuck without medication or refills.
I would finally ask my counselor about some good books to read, or even some good movies to see. Depression is a disease, but growth and good self esteem make the ride a little easier.
well ppl with mental health issues are likely
2 b easier angered because dey feel a lot of frustration
@ der situtation
and as 4 da suicide well yea der @ a higher 4 risk
because dey dnt feel good bout/within themselves but it doesnt mean tat
all are…
it really depends on da induvidual
I had repressed my angry for over forty years,
I resented the way I had been treated, in fact my angry was an intense rage.
In the end I couldn’t cope any more, on any level planning my suicide gave me peace of mind , I had a way out.
suicide is just another way to cope
My mental breakdown was the best thing to happen , it punctuated my life.
of course there r times when i’m down thats normal, I choose not to stay in the depression thats the difference now.
Alot of the shit that happened I now accept, rather than remain a victim to it,
I’m trying to be kinder to myself, I was always so harsh,
life is good , crawl out from under all that shit and live it.
Firstly I have to say NO..
Not everyone suffering from depression will consider suicide..
There are many who do, but it would be more usual if they also suffered from other forms of deep depression…
Such as…
Suicidal Ideation…
To try to explain:
I suffered from depression for many years, yet never once had I thought of killing myself..
Perhaps the thought I had children (grown up) but my children all the same…
Never gave me the time to consider myself, I only worried about how the next day would be..
How I would cope with all the anger and pain of the next afternoon, when they would be here again..
So the fact that I was trying hard to cope with the situation and my own illness, stopped me feeling the need to take more drastic action..
So I will say once again. No not all depressives consider suicide as the first answer..
Anger is also not what comes to mind.
Depression makes peolpe hide away, shut the world out, be alone, be sad and lonely…
Depression hangs over us as a dark cloud, no light to see
Nothing within…
Just dark sad lonely place….
Other thoughts can link to those
If we allow them to….
Suicide is an extreme measure that people will turn to when they feel it’s the only way to escape the pain, so not all depressed individuals are automatically suicidal. Some people will think of death, others will threaten with killing themselves, and those are major issues, but it does not mean those people will actually go and commit suicide.
About getting angry easily: having to constantly battle your disorder will make you frail and sometimes defensive. Depressed individuals might get angry if they believe you’re taking their problem lightly, especially if they had a hard time confiding in you.
On the other hand, a person can just have short temper, and their mood swings may have nothing to do with depression.
Not necessarily suicidal. I have been suffering from depression for over 16 years. At times I will think suicide but won’t do it. On the other hand I think, ‘I’d rather be dead than go through this another day’. I do get angry very, very easily. I fight every urge not to take offense to everything that is said to me, even if it just a joke because I fail to see the humor in anything when I feel this way. At times I think I should be locked up, not a jail. My own tax dollars will pay for it, still got a little humor.
While many depressed individuals feel suicidal at some point during their illness, a relatively few will actually attempt suicide and fewer still will succeed.
Depression is a very common illness. It ranges from a mild melancholia to a severe clinical and/or chronic condition. Treatment varies from person to person and range from drug and talk therapy to hospitalization and in extreme, very extreme cases a dr may suggest ECT (Electroconvulsive Therapy).
Anger is very much a part of depression also and here is why. The definition of depression is anger turned inward on ones self. Dealing with whatever it is that is making you angry is a big part of coping with and hopefully eliminating the depression. There are healthy ways to deal with anger and of course not so healthy ways. You may have anger about something that you’re not even aware of and that is where a good dr and/or therapist comes in. They can’t tell you why this is happening to you but they can help you find the answer for yourself and then help you to deal with it in a healthy way.
I hope this has helped you some and can lead you to where you need to be. Good Luck.
