I almost threw a vase at my boyfriend. Why? He came by to give me flowers. Simple as that. I almost threw the glass vase with those flowers at my boyfriend. I understand why he did it. I was feeling like complete and utter crap, depressed. But I think I was having an anxiety attack at the time. He quickly opened my bedroom door as I was crying and freaking out a bit in bed. He placed that vase on my floor and snuck right out. I jumped right out of my bed and grabbed that vase. I had the hugest urge to chuck it right at him. He luckily was quick enough up the stairs. I told him the day before to leave me alone that night, not to text me or come over or anything. Which he agreed to. Then that day before the whole freak out, I told him to legitimately leave me alone completely for the whole rest of this week. He has done this before. Come over unannounced when I have told him to leave me be. But he literally doesn't listen or learn. And this time, I was having a small anxiety attack when he arrived. I told him not to come near me or touch me or try to talk to me when I am having one. I normally cannot control myself during. I guess I felt threatened by his surprise walk in. I don't know. I think I may have some anger issues along with my depression and anxiety. I know I have a short temper but I think it may be more than just a character flaw.

Have you talked with a specialist about these attacks?

A long time ago I did. Back when I was covered by my parents insurance. Now I am on my own with it. My mental health has been on the decline since about 17 years old. I have taken maybe two different meds since then and only for like a week. Also, I have never been able to talk with any kind of psychologist. Parents never got that far with my mental health even though I clearly needed it. I cannot afford it at all with my current situation so. I am kind of on my own with it.

@TheAmazingSquid Maybe you can find a self-help group? People with the same problems can surely help you even if they're no medical experts. If there is no group, you could found one.

@MALUSE I have actually tried finding one. I have tried to talk to others who aren't medical experts. It has never helped me.

I got short temper issue as well. Fortunately, I can control myself from throwing anything. My wife is the kindest person I have. I don't want to hurt her.

That definitely doesn't sound like just anxiety or anxiety and depression. As i have both. You may want to go talk to someone

I think it is time to seek some help and talk to somebody about this. He is only concerned and worried about you. I am sure he meant no harm by coming by to check on you.

I know his intentions for doing what he did. But I pretty much couldn't control my anger. It just made me so angry that he refuses to listen to me when I say leave me be.

Start to feel free from inside. One of the best way to be free is try to talk about all of your problems someone who's much closer or understands to you. Don't be alone even if you wanted to. Interact; feel the nature ; explore yourself. Go through some inspirational books and speeches. Im not the expert though but you must try it. Know your problems and find the ways to solve them. Let don't rule anger upon you ; it hurts our close ones. Take some doctor's or expert's advice. Hope everythings gonna be alright

It's a bit harder than to just read some books and talk it out. But thanks
