It is really hard to separate out real anger, issues, from physical illness.

Some people get irritable when they are in pain. (I do).
Or some people are irritable when tired... just up in the morning or not getting enough sleep.

Drinking too much caffeinated beverages can make one irritable.

Young people can be irritated by their parents to the extreme.
Some parents don't realize they are being intrusive, and therefore that adds to the problem. And vice versa can occur too.. leading to alot of tension. Opening lines of communication can often fix alot of tension here. My son had alot of ADHD tension, and I found myself spending alot of time working that out with him, just being there for him, and listening, worked wonders for him.

I hesitate to recommend any supplements when there may be other solutions to the problem. Supplements are for when you are deficient, or physically ill in some way, causing a depletion. They are not drugs...or to change feelings or fix conflicts.

This is what my doc says helps primarily with depression:
Fish Oil
B50 Tablet
D3 (gel type capsules)


He also highly recommends...
eating healthy (avoiding sugar, alcohol and caffeine) and getting in exercise about 4 days a week.

Have you seen your doctor recently? Please do not hesitate to get a check up. You might ask about these things. Some really good health food stores have trained personnel. I am fortunate that my doc has an interest in supplementation. This doesn't mean that I do not also take traditional medications. BTW...things like having your thyroid out of whack can cause mood problems...so don't ever hesitate to get a check up. Please find a physician that you trust.

I'm taking classes. When I have a test and drink coffee...sometimes I get anxious. I can relate to what Mrs. D has said. We forget that this is a "drug." We forget that foods are drugs. The book Food and Mood is really good.

Individual and/or family therapy can be a real blessing as well. Often times it takes a combination of things to provide the best results.

Again, you might want to start off with an appointment with your family physician. Wishing you well.

Hi I can relate to you a lot and why I have went back to a psychiatrist. I have a history of depression/anxiety but since my physical health and pain has gotten so bad I have went back to go back on mental meds. I am not sure if you would consider that and or a therapist but that may help. I have been having outburst of anger with my family and my psych told me the meds I am on should help. I do feel from a long history of mental battles that it takes a combo of self help tools and meds to work. As for a supplement I do remember a psych telling me to increase my omegas and that may help.
I hear some of your triggers to what angers you and is there ways you can help to calm yourself down. Like telling your mom you need space or healthy outlets like listening to music/relaxation tapes/hobby?

I seem to recall you take thyroid medication?

If this dose is too high for you, say something has changed
for you and you don't need it as much, that could make you
irritable too.

Take care...

Thank you for that Vowel Lady ! I will look for that book. It sounds very interesting.
Im taking my omegas, vit B and D, and yes, Im sure they help.... I will ask my doc because maybe I need a higher dose
Im trying to avoid sugar and caffeine... Specially caffeine as it is bad for my dry eyes and skin too.... Maybe what Im missing is doing exercise
