Anger And Depression

[hotrod351]

use to be able to use my anger to fuel me when working, roofing, but about year ago my shoulder pain got so bad that im not doing to much roofing. now i have anti inflammatory pills for my shoulders and they seem to be doing a good job, but now i have no where to burn up my anger, instead im venting it towards others, anyone. depression goes along with it, or shortly after. will be seeing a med DR on the 14th, he will decide what to put me on. the only funny part was when i first contacted the VA about my anger issues each person i talked to said = what about exercise, told them = well i roof peoples houses in AZ, really hot her now, do you think thats enough exercise. the only time i felt good is when i was taking hydrocodine, which i was taking one a day fro pain until i could see Dr about shoulder pain, stopped as soon as i get new anti inflammatory pills that work. i know they have something that will take the edge off. so ill hang in there until the 14th.

I found screaming under water really good. Long walks yoga and trauma release excercise are great too.. I'm off the drugs, I found they're a band aid really

I also have anger issues. Roofing in Az would make me angry !:). I am not making light of your anger by any means, but when they said exercise, it is to just get rid of the build up. I tend to do more relaxing things when I am angry. And sometimes it also means, for me, that other things are starting to surface that I need to tend to...
There is always an underlying issue for me, maybe not for you. But something is nagging at me unconsciously and anger is my signal to slow down and pay attention...
Meds can help us over the rough spots.. gives a little clarity to our brain for processing... not for all, but I needed it when I needed it...
Hoping your new Dr will help with this.. sounds like you are doing what needs to be done, but like always, it's hurry up and wait... let us know how you are in the meantime. Come on here and vent away.... it does help to get it out.
