Does anyone else wake up with a great deal of rage in the morning?

[RussianParasite]

But its like the rage is gone but the contempt and hate i have for this society still festers ya know? Seems like 2012 was like the last year of a dying world and this new world fucking sucks

I had these types of feelings once when much younger. It has helped me to realize now that you literally can’t do anything about it, so why bother feeling the rage?

There are certain people placed in extraordinary circumstances that change the world, but you’re not one of them and neither am I. Laugh at the absurdity of the state of things and worry about yourself.

Not saying there is an easy “off” switch to these feelings, but if you work at shifting mindsets gradually you’ll get somewhere.

I don't wake with rage but i do I wake up with the very peak of depression every morning, and it's usually intense. I am sure there are some helpful neuropsychology exercises designed to train your brain in order to wake up in a better mood, but I'm fine with suffering for now. I don't really care

 

[Dom Cruise]

That happens to me too sometimes honestly, I wake up and the shittiness of the modern world really hits me hard laying in bed and just kind of thinking randomly.

Usually I feel a little better after I've gotten up and woken up a bit, but it can be hard.

My biggest cope is nostalgic memories of better days and I take solace that if you plucked almost any random normal person from back then they'd agree the modern situation is fucked up, it's only happened through the proverbial frog in the slowly boiling pot of water.

has the opposite effect for me personally, I hate thinking of how good shit used to be versus now.

I now it sounds gay maybe talk to someone like a psychotherapist or counsellor if you have the money or time. Is there a specific event in your life that caused you to feel this way? Unless you were born mentally ill which Is admittedly shitty most people don't naturally wake up miserable or furious at the world for things they have no control over.

I don't think I was born mentally ill, but trauma definitely did develop and build up later in my life

Also with that said, you could message me if you're genuinely curious about the recent happenings that's caused me to become a sadboy (don't really want to take over another guys thread)

 

[Halt and Catch Fire]

Can't relate. Have you tried chilling out a bit there?

 

[CognitiveDeficiency]

Rage, but mostly pain. But then I do my yoga and either run or lift depending on the day of the week and both they both dull down into a slow smolder.

 

[BlaireWhitesBottom2]

Brah you really need to work out and eat right. Get walks in, that helps reset your brain. Maybe learn awareness and mindfulness. I'd also seriously suggest a boxing club. The good kind, where they can see angry young men and get them on a better path.

I'm angry too, I just finished a long form effort post about the American child torture industry. You can't let it consume you though. Realize you're mad at things, but do not 'be' mad.

I used to love boxing only problem is my shoulder is so destroyed it comes out whenever i box, and i am guessing you mean North Fox Island, and how Dean Corll and John Wayne Gacy were probably in the same ring right?

 

[Ughubughughughughughghlug]

Make sure that you disarm yourself if you’re thinking like that and also have weapons.

I had a similar state for a long time, except somewhat different reasons. I felt intense hate at people around me, and it was like my mind couldn’t stop circling thoughts about it, and I’d get these sort of anxious/anger panic attacks that left me feeling exhausted all day every day and with a dread of it happening again.

In the end nothing cured it really, I kept working on trying to improve my life and it gave some control which helps (short run), and then when I had to go back to work again I fell into a deep debilitating sadness for a week or two. Now I just anesthetize myself doing pretty much nothing but gaming, and i feel happy, but in a phony way, and know it can’t last because at some point I have to do some work.

One thing I did was I would set things I had to be present for. A festival, conference, concert, any stupid thing that would be a real shame to not see. When that’s done there should be another lined up. You can keep yourself strung along forever.

I wake up with the very peak of depression every morning, and it's usually intense.

Supposedly morning depression is often caused by a disruption of circadian rhythms. I have noticed that being out in the early morning sun when I wake helps keep my sleeping more regular. You might want to get your vitamin D levels tested too, or just see if taking some helps. I wouldn't take antidepressants personally for it, they always make me want to rope.

a psychotherapist or counsellor

I don't think cognitive behavioral therapy with medication, the standard treatment, has been shown to be particularly effective for anything.

I don't think most people are mentally ill, they're just reacting to their environment. We're all being poisoned and overstressed. Prescription drugs, heavy metals, pesticides, and plastic are all in the water supply. Also, the prevalence of autism these days might be due to NSAID use during pregnancy or childhood. Nobody knew they did that until recently. Whoops.

I am reading a book now called Good Reasons for Bad Fellings. Its written by a psychiatrist and the first sections of the book is just going over why the mental health field is nonsense and doesn-t work. I am just starting to read it so i haven't quite reach the part where one starts to be optimistic. He does have proposals of his own but like i said, just started it.

Of couse, most of this stuff i have been noticing more and more in last few years. Just look at this shit.

No, seriously, how the fuck is this a science?, imagine in any other medical field your doctor tells you that you have only 24% chance of improving in what is the most common aillment but even then you have about 1:1 chance of loosing the improvement anyways. You'd call the doctor a quack but in psychiatry this is somehow acceptable, now you have a generation of legal drug addicts that bought the meme that seeking professional help was going to solve their issues and that you could trust a therapist.

Fuck this.

That number might be optimistic, anti-depressants do not fare well against placebos. This is a good read, Antidepressants and the Placebo Effect by Irving Kirsch, I'll quote a section but the whole thing is worth reading:

How is it possible that medications with such weak efficacy data were approved by the FDA? The answer lies in an understanding of the approval criteria used by the FDA. The FDA requires two adequately conducted clinical trials showing a significant difference between drug and placebo. But there is a loophole: There is no limit to the number of trials that can be conducted in search of these two significant trials. Trials showing negative results simply do not count. Furthermore, the clinical significance of the findings is not considered. All that matters is that the results are statistically significant.

The most egregious example of the implementation of this criterion is provided by the FDA’s approval of vilazodone in 2011. Seven controlled efficacy trials were conducted. The first five failed to show any significant differences on any measure of depression, and the mean drug-placebo difference in these studies was less than ½ point on the HAM-D, and in two of the three trials, the direction of the difference actually favored the placebo. The company ran two more studies and managed to obtain small but significant drug-placebo differences (1.70 points). The mean drug-placebo difference across the seven studies was 1.01 HAM-D points. This was sufficient for the FDA to grant approval, and the information approved by the FDA for informing doctors and patients reads, “The efficacy of VIIBRYD was established in two 8-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials.” No mention is made of the five failed trials that preceded the two successful ones.

Thats just awful. Shit like this kills any trust left in society as a whole. If you are suffering and vulnerable then everyone will want to suck your blood and strip your corpse for loot., self help, cults, the medical industry, just a gigantic grift.

Implying modern-day therapy is worth a damn

 

[WolfeTone]

Go for a jog or a bike ride

You'll feel much better and you'll start getting more control over that natural energy as time goes on

 

[HindWisdom]

I am not psychologist but I think only you can suffer your own thoughts and emotions, the feeling of sympathy and empathy is just glorified pity or sorrow. everything stems from within. outside forces can only stimulate it and once you learn how to control things that happen within you nobody can shake you. In order to do this there's one thing you gotta realize, that you can't be mad at things you don't have any control over.
