Irritability is definitely a symptom of depression. It's a hard one to overcome, too. I think it's because most of us feel like the people around us just don't really understand how we're feeling, and oftentimes aren't willing to listen. I feel like a lot of people don't know what to do for someone who is suffering, and they feel helpless, and they don't like it.

You'll find a lot of people here (and elsewhere) who have felt what you're feeling so many times, and we're here to support you.

I'm sorry that you know these feelings, but just try to breathe and remember no one is perfect. They're likely not trying to annoy you, they're just doing what they think is best, too.

And if you're angry, use this space to vent. That's what it's here for!

That's tough.
All I can say is just because you're feeling this today, doesn't mean you'll feel it tomorrow.
I hope you feel better soon.

I can definitely relate to you - lately I've been snapping at everyone for no reason.

Just know you are not alone and don't blame yourself!

I've had days (ok, weeks) like that...where I'm just cranky. I've learned afew tricks that have helped me. Maybe they'd help you, too? First of all, I've learned I have to eat healthy foods, not junk. The chemicals in the junk food actually trigger me and I can get pretty cranky. I also have to force myself to exercise, because I don't like it, but I do it knowing it releases the needed endorphins to help me overcome the lows. I also have to make myself go to bed at a decent hour and get enough sleep. Also, I like watching funny movies...laughter is good medicine. And, for me....I have to stay away from social media sometimes because I find myself comparing my life to everyone else's, which is very silly because half of the stuff portrayed on SM is puffed up half-truths anyway. Still, I see the 'perfect' lives, and begin the comparison game. Maybe some of these tricks will help you :) When I take care of myself (which doesn't come natural or easy), I feel better and find myself less irritated with life and the people around me!
