Pushing everyone away

I'm so irratable and angry lately. I don't know what to do anymore, I'm pushing everyone away. I have been on every medication and nothing seems to help. I see a therapist but not improving. I don't want to push everyone away and have no one. I hate myself!

Maybe you haven't had enough time with the Therapist yet? Are you venting here so we can help and support you? We understand the mood swings all too well. You are not alone, ever.. Hugs

wow, I have this problem alot too. REALLY BAD to do this, I can be aggressive or I withdraw from everyone and tell people I'm sick cause I just don't want to deal with anyone.

I do that a lot. Then I feel guilty because my friends and family start to worry about me. I'm a single parent with a preteen and I hate when she sees me like that. Lately I've been feeling this way a lot and I'm trying to push through it. I hate to say it but drinking helps. I just gave up drinking for the week and only drink on wknds but the weeks are killing me.

It is going to take inner strength to reverse this predicament otherwise this inertia of alienating yourself will take you to some dark places...
Perhaps support groups like NAMI may be a place to voice yourself or consider volunteer work...isolating yourself is the worse thing you can do - the hate you have for yourself will only grow...
