Hi, My name is Jess and Im 21 years old, ive had anxiety, post traumatic stress and also in the recent years some agoraphobia and panic disorder. Lately I've found I've reached a point where everything just makes me really really angry? like furious to the point where my head pounds and i grit my teeth and feel like my chest is going to explode and stuff. then its like all of a sudden i want to just sit on the floor and cry.
sometimes its over nothing, or the smallest thing as well! like not being able to find the right pants i want to wear or i just snap at anything my boyfriend says.

Then last night i was in bed alone watching tv and then all of a sudden i felt the urge to just cry, over nothing. it was just like a bad feeling rushing over me.

i hate being this angry and moody all the time and i need some advice. Ive tried the breathing calmly etc when i get really frustrated, which helps.
but more than anything its like i need to learn to bite my tongue and control my emotions? im on zoloft and see my psyc regularly but i feel this is different and im not sure why but im not coping with it well!

Anything you wanna say go for it, im open!

Hi there, I have GAD and am also on Zoloft and though I can't relate exactly to the anger I have an idea as to why maybe it's happening? I myself often have that 'bad' feeling whafting over me and I just want to cry for no reason it seems so i gotcha on that one. The anger I want to say is perhaps resentment. I feel resentment at a lot of things in my life right now and I'm not even sure why, I'm also pretty irritable and snap at my boyfriend without meaning too. The other reason I know myself to be resentful and irritable is because of fatigue, I get so much sleep but I'm always so tried, it's because I worry so much I tire myself out.


The last thing I want to say is maybe its fear? I know when I feel panicky or afraid I get really defensive and snappy. That's the best I got for you hun good luck and keep smiling!

How long have you been on Zoloft? If you recently started taking it and have noticed that things got worse around the same time, then maybe you have a problem with the Zoloft.
