Anxiety and Anger Issues
Asked for male patient, 21 years

Doctor, I have been struggling with anxiety and anger for a long time. I often feel nervous, restless, and worried, even when there is no clear reason. Small problems make me overthink, and I become frustrated very quickly. Sometimes I lose my temper and say things I later regret, which affects my relationships with family and friends. After an angry outburst, I feel guilty and emotionally exhausted. I also have trouble sleeping and concentrating on my work. I want to understand why this happens and learn healthy ways to control my emotions and feel better.

You can contact a clinical psychologist like me. You may need an assessment of anxiety and psychotherapy for it. Anxiety is actually an umbrella term; one person may have multiple anxiety disorders. If you find your symptoms uncontrollable/severe/unmanageable, you may better take a consultation with a psychiatrist and take psychiatric medicines
Anxiety can be exhausting and that leads to frustration and irritability. It is something that can be managed with medications and/or therapy. Please consult a psychiatrist or psychologist and get the help you can.
I’m sorry you’ve been dealing with this for so long. What you describe is real and treatable, and it does not mean you are a bad or angry person.Anxiety can build tension until small problems trigger angry reactions, followed by guilt and exhaustion.
Helpful steps include pausing before reacting, slow breathing, identifying anxious thoughts, exercising regularly, improving sleep, reducing excess caffeine, and communicating after calming down. Since this has been affecting your relationships, sleep, and work for a long time.
Also, these are just general help measures you need to consider speaking with a psychologist who would apply therapies which can be very effective in reducing your anxiety and anger.
