Lately, I’ve been dealing with a lot of issues related to irritability and depression. It’s like an ever-present fog that just won’t lift no matter how hard I try to shake it. It doesn’t help that everyone around me seems busy going through their lives, seemingly unaffected by what’s bogging me down.
I’ve had my bad days where all I want to do is curl up in bed and sleep away the sadness. I’ve also had days where my irritability runs rampant and anything can set me off into an emotional meltdown. It takes every bit of strength in me to keep it together when that happens, but usually, I end up alone trying to get my emotions back in check before facing anyone else.
It’s not always easy having no one around that understands what you are going through when people think you should be “over it” already without having any idea how hard this struggle actually is for us. We don’t choose our battles with depression and irritability but must find ways to cope with them nonetheless.
The good news is that there are many resources out there if you need help managing these feelings. I’m learning more about myself day by day, including how to recognize triggers for my mood swings and coping techniques I can use when feeling overwhelmed. And even though there may still be times when everything feels like too much, I am slowly feeling hopeful again as I learn more understandings about depression and irritability along this journey of self-discovery.

Take advantage of the resources available if possible - they could make a difference for you in terms of being able to cope even with these hard times.
