Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
Is it a symptom of anxiety to ALWAYS be irritated? Or easily Irritated? I want to live my life in peace.. and be a loving person, but I find it hard when almost everything drives me crazy. :P
Of course as I am getting older I know people are going to say it's hormones..but I have been like this for years.
but hormones can play a part in anger problems and extreme agitation. can't rule that out.
I know what you mean about thinking that you are an Angry/bad person. no...it's just the way we are wired. I feel that way too sometimes.
You can take time to lower stress levels. I think that is a given for anxious types. I know sometimes I get impatient and irritated..and it's because i am not getting what I want. Have to learn to wait and prioritize what's really important. but I can get mad at little things like opening a stupid packet of candy or crackers or whatever. I get pissed off at a ton of things really.
I think taking in deep breaths and focusing on breathing that can calm the touchiness we may have.
avoid stimulants like caffeine and alcohol, they can increase symptoms for many.
and consider calming music, it can soothe the savage beast....
but im not irrated all the time
just some of the time
I just find that people, particularly, frustrate me... i would just assume be a hermit i think.
