Angry...disappointed with myself
I feel so ashame.... I am a very laid back person, always happy. Very little upsets me. The past 3 days I have been feeling so much anger. Deep down in my gut. Nothing has triggered it, nothing is happening in my life to make me mad. Yesterday I almost could not stand it. I'm very short with my family. Every little thing, such as something being out of place wants to make me beligerent. I have NEVER been like this. I even went in my bedroom and I slammed some things down and broke them. This is not not not me! I'm calling my dr this morning. I have heard of hormone dumping. I'm 5 1/2 months out from surgery and 102 pounds lost since surgery day. Any one have any suggestions. I still feel angry this morning but not as severe. Help.
If you aren't seeing a therapist already, it might be wise to add one to your Obesity Recovery Team. I know I'm really grateful for mine - being able to vent my spleen to someone who "doesn't care about me" once a week has been extremely beneficial. And she gives me good ideas and insights that I often can't see myself without some prodding.

Therapy might be a good idea especially if you don't know whats triggering your mood. Goodness don't break your **** or anyone else's, things too expensive nowadays, it might not be much but beating up your pillow or taking some kickboxing classes might be a way to get that aggression out till you find out what's setting you off. If anything get outside & walk & calm yourself down.

There's a lot of stuff that can mask anger. A lot of depressed people, for example, discover a big lump of rage when they go on antidepressants. Overeating can sometimes be used to self-medicate when we're feeling angry, too. Whatever is making you angry, you've probably lost whatever it was that was masking or soothing it. I definitely agree with the people who say get a therapist. You can't deal with your anger until you figure out what's causing it.
