"Irritable! That is how I frequently feel!" And on checking with my other half, she concluded. Unusual as it may seem we both realised something wasn't right, separately, on the same day, after 18 months of struggle.
Because of the realisation that the consuming outrage that would rise up with no warning was really an indicator that I was reaching my end - I was depressed. What a revelation that was; to grasp there had been a way out, but that that way out meant admitting my weakness. And then an irony appeared; the instant I confessed my need for help, in that moment - that very moment - hope drew near.
Bad temper is a tell tale sign of depression, especially in males.
Something would go 'wrong ' and I might flip into a rage, regardless of if I was alone or nobody else noticed; within me I was beside myself with ire. And at the very same time part of me was asking, in a desperate state of confusion, "What's going on here, Steve?!"
Such fits of wrath were exhausting, and though fortunately there was usually no perceivable harm made, there had been much non secular torture that needed to be reconciled. I was out of control and didn't know how to revive that control.
But the word irritation - or cantankerous - got me wondering. It hit me in a second of openness of heart and mind. God used that word to reveal his truth. My irritability with the sign I was depressed. I had fought the best I could, in my strength, for 18 months. Now was the time to actually admit my weakness and seek help.
WHY ANGER Is Sometimes THE SIGN OF DEPRESSION
Why would we get unreasonably angry otherwise, unless our inner world was chaotic?
Occasionally outrage is all we have left to rail against a world we will neither understand nor work with. That world, for whatever reason or reasons, has given us cause to feel declined in some shape. All we have left is anger. And self-righteousness is the driver, because justice hasn't been served - according to the depressed perspective.
Outrage reveals unhappiness for the issues of contempt in our lives we don't have any control of. And it doesn't take much to feel out of control.
When we admit our sadness , however , because we have realized the task anger is playing, the trail to recovery opens up - regardless of the despair inside our circumstance. When there is a need, get professional help to help you, before it affects your life and make you ned up in debt for cultivating unacceptable habits!

Uncharacteristic bad temper could be a sign of the unhappiness of depression. Sometimes all we have left is annoyance; but upon realising our desire for help, to confess that, opens a trail to recovery. If we are honest about wrath we could very well see the sadness beneath. Such unhappiness is an invitation to be explored, to be validated, and to be wrestled with. As fast as we do these things the door to wish swings ajar and then wide open.
