I'm having the same problem well I always have and my sister is trying to get me to go to the doctor but I also feel I"m not depressed but something isnt right because i know what I do isnt right but dont see it at the time of yelling I dont understand I have 2 great kids and a wonderful husband but still fly off the handle for no reason

Does it seem to happen at any particular time of the month?  Like around the time of your period the depression (or whatever it may be) comes out and then that's what people are basing their opinions on.  For example, if it did have you heard of PMDD?

Just a thought.  I have depression also (I'm bipolar) and don't like when people misinterpret things I do, say, etc.

PMDD is a good start but I have my out burst more then not. So for like 3 weeks out of the month I am raging and there is one week of happness in the house. I wish there was a shot of "Dont worry about it anymore"!!!!

Hey girl!

Follow your gut. 

If you feel like your not depressed THAN YOU ARENT! 

Do not allow anyone FAMILY MEMBERS, husband, MOM, DAD, SISTER, BROTHERS,

WHOEVER to LABEL YOU EVER! 

LOOK at my name! 

THERAPY is quite subjective and all therapist have to go on is what you tell them  then they go to this book called a DSM  DIAGNOSTIC SERVIVE MANAUAL  or a DSM to look up you "mental label"  to charge your insurance company.

 Therapy is great dont get me wrong I just dont want you to fall into a whirlwind of various different therapies and pills and never get anywhere.  Are you pissed off at your husband?  OK we all are allowed to be!  I am here for you kid!

xox

I hear ya Labelfree!! I dont think I am pissed at my husband, not all the time anyways. I think I cant handle stress. We have 4 kids all together and one on the way, no more after that. I just see things in away I want them and it cant be like that.

I was told the same thing that it was just depression, but it really is an anger issue/ stress. If you find some good answers let me know, i went to an anger mgt class and that seemed to work for a wk.  THe only thing that is helping me is takin out my hositility on a punching bag.

I had a lot of anger issues and my rheumatologist, whom I saw at the time I was going through this anger stuff, put my on Cymbalta at my request.  I thought I was depressed because anger is an outward sign of depression.  But, Cymbalta just totally wigged me out and I got off of it very quickly.  I then was given Wellbutrin and that helped, for which I was so grateful.  I guess I was on it for about a year-and-a-half.  It began not to help and I was back to getting angry over nothing, or at least benign things.  My insurance raised my price from $4.00 to $45.78, so I contacted my PCP because I had been off of it for six days and I felt a whole lot better.  He said I didn't have to take it anymore.  I've been off of it for about ten days now and I'm a new person, I guess you could say re-born.  But, I can so relate to where you are now.  I just hope you find something to help you.  I'm not married, which is probably a good thing, but I do have cats and I think they were terrified of me.

Sound like ODD,  oppositional defiant disorder. Look it up online, You could say the sky is purple and it gets you angry if people do not understand you, or how YOU feel about things. You can be angry and then depressed because you can't control the anger... but your not depressed, look it up.

I am sorry for your frustrations with being depressed or not depressed.  I hear your words and I just want to let you know that I understand exactly what you and many other women are going through.  I have been through this same issue of am I depressed or not.  I do think women become depressed for a many number of reasons.  Each womans biological processes are so different.  When we go to see a doctor, many times they just want to get us in, give us med and get us out....They should be troubleshooting us by testing our urine and blood and making sure we do not have a hormonal imbalance...not just depression...sometimes the hormonal imbalance is what makes us enraged or uncontrollable...which can lead to depression...Each woman is so different, but a hormone check is a good place for the doctor to start...
