So much ANGER........

I don't know how ones emotions can go from one extent to the other in very little time WITHOUT any medication! Today has been busy. I have been on the phone and computer all day. I use to like it like this, until I started having heart attacks and taking weird medicines. haha. I have been so short (no pun intended) with people today and easily angered for no apparent reason. What is wrong with me? I have always been what I thought to be depressed. And I mean this with all sincerity. I am not looking for sympathy or atta boys or anything in life other than happiness and the truth. I think I have an idea of what has bothered me all of my life, but I am really not ready to divulge that information because now may not be the right time. I have always been a pretty funny guy and I have always made a point to make people laugh....I love that. But sometimes I think I am laughing on the outside and crying on the inside. Nature of the beast I guess. I'm not the only one to have those problems. Anyway, I start out my day by trying to be in the best mood I can be...I make people laugh here at work on a minute to minute basis, and they can attest to that, and yes, sometimes I go overboard, but for the most part I enjoy seeing people smile and laugh. But since the heart attack, with this medication that I am on, I am much more quick tempered and quite honestly, a dick. And the weird thing is, I know this...AFTERWARDS. After I say my apologies. That is not fair to anyone including myself because I cant seem to be myself anymore. Sometimes, with all of my heart, I do not want to be here anymore, anywhere, not on this earth. That's sad to say, but it sometimes is the truth. Deep down, I know that this is not what I want, I mean when I was younger, I tried it and luckily I failed. But sometimes with this depression or whatever it is, I think, 'well, maybe it would be for the best', but then I come to my senses, and I KNOW that is not what I want. But why do I think it? This blog is to write what I feel at the time and look back and see what kind of state of mind I was in and what I was doing at the time, or how my day went, but most of all, I hope it to be very therapeutic. That's what my friend told me it would be, and damn if she wasn't right! I have to admit that after I write in this blog, I do feel better. And hopefully by the grace of God, I can have my self-therapy. And maybe, just maybe, I can be the person I used to be and maybe have friends again.

  1. Have you ever talked to your Doc about the side effects? Or is quick shift in mood something you have always had? I don't know much about heart medications but I guess it is possible to cause such a side effect.

  2. I have talked to my doc and we have lowered my dosage on a blood pressure med, but I still think it is something else. I don't know if it is the mixture of drugs, still the blood pressure meds, or ME. I have been quick tempered before, but not this bad. Now it's almost scary as to what I might do.

  3. That is not good. I guess it just depends on the combo of meds you are on...the doctor should be able to give you a list of side effects when one med reacts with the other. If you can look back and know that you have never felt this way, then it is most likely the meds and you should have your doc take a second look....they don't always get it right the first time and sometimes you have to go with your gut.
