Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Firstly, I'm new to the site, so forgive me if I cross any boundaries or anything.
Something totally unexpected happened today, after suffering from depression for a while this is the first time I've experienced this.
After a reasonably average start to the day I've started to feel worse throughout the day, it got to the stage where about an hour ago I totally trashed my flat, bookcases thrown around, kitchen stuff smashed up, furniture torn up. I've never felt anger and rage like it and it was the only way I could let it out. I can't face getting out of the bedroom and facing the damage I've caused and had to turn a good friend away from my door because I didn't want them to see what I'd done.
When my depression has hit me bad before I've never felt anything like this, just pure anger at myself, other people, the world in general. Is the a sign of things to come in the future, now it's started will I ever be able to stop it?

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I have had fits of rage where I scream loudly or throw items around, but not to the extent you described.
I wonder, how did you feel afterwards? Relief? Shame? More anger?
an idea might be 2 take up some sort of boxing etc...just in case u feel the need 2 release some anger again ?
how comes u felt like that ?
how did u feel afterwards ?
sorz 4 all the questions just tryin 2 help lol. the most ive ever done when angry was punch walls.
the fact that ur worrying abowt bein able 2 stop is a good thing, cuz that means that u have control over urself etc.

i would try and get your self the energy to clean up, it might make you feel better to make things right again.....
Atleast you let it out. Maybe take up boxing and discuss it with your therapist/GP?
i wouldnt worry about the doctor, they usually can see the difference between an injury and a self inflicted cut....
Why is it ending? IF you dont mind me asking?
