It sounds like it is depression and possibly PTSD. Have you thought of seeing a counselor? It sounds like you need to talk some of this out- you were wronged badly and that will leave scars. However it sounds like now you are causing your own problems- you might consider seeking out a counselor and doing some sessions, so you can see how your bad experiences might be causing you to lash out at people...possibly to keep from being hurt again.
 
thank you very much i have been in touch with my gp whom as refered me to see a councilor, look for to chatting with you again once again thank you both so very much as i feel lost an lonley even though i do have a very supportive family they are to close
 
I hope you will let us know how it goes. You can always post things here when you need to talk in between your counseling sessions, but I'm glad you will be getting some professional help. A good counselor will be able to help you work through your anger and trust issues.
 
PTSD = post traumatic stress disorder

It's often associated with soldiers who have been to war, but really it can happen to anyone that has been the victim of a particularly stressful event.

I'm not saying you for sure have it, but possibly. Your aggression makes me think there is more going on with you than just depression.

Can you seek out a psychiatrist and be evaluated? Right now your actions are self-destructive but I think you know that- you have taken one very positive step by coming here to talk about it.

And others will probably chime in with their own opinions.
 
Way to go! Good for you! You could have chosen to wallow in anger and self pity and gone down that road, but instead you are now taking care of yourself. Taking care of yourself is probably the hardest road to take when someone has hurt you like this, but it seems to me the best road and most rewarding road to take if you're to come out of this OK. Good luck to you.
 
many thanks im enjoying the friendship with faceless strangers whom have com passion for others thanks alot for your support hope we can all keep in touch lisa
 
I agree with the previous poster. You've taken a great step by trying to talk it out and get help, even if its just a website, its a start. Also, you seem to realize that the problem is now with you. I couldn't begin to guess at a diagnosis for you but it seems you are very uncomfortable emotionally. Depression sounds like a peice of it. I'm not sure how long you've been taking the antidepressant but you've probably been told this takes several weeks to have any effect. It also sounds like you are deeply hurt and angry over the behavior of those closest to you. A neutral 3rd party like a counseler or psychologist or even your family doctor might be a good start. You really seem to be stuggling with the anger and could probably use some professional guidance. Just my opinion knowing about you only the things you've posted here.
