Write down how you are feeling, and look at it the next day.
It will change you.

Very useful suggestion. If your serious about helping yourself, write things down. Keep a journal and read back over it. It will help you get lifes most important weapon - perspective.

You'll be able to see where you've come from and where your going and you'll be able to keep your self heading in the right direction - happiness.

I second the writing a journal recommendation, learn to write free-flow and let everything that's bugging you out onto the paper then read it back the next day, it gives you some great insights and might give a better idea of what's at the root of your unhappiness.

Best of luck.

Raises hand!
Yes, I have - going to the doctor for advice helped me and having my bf to talk to and help me through.
Take care Jenny

Doctors are trained to show alittle empathy and prescribe methods of help!

Talk to someone, anyone about how you feel. It WILL make you feel better, just getting things like frustration off your chest can be a masive relief. If there realy is no one, just post in here all teh stuff thats been making yiu angry, this form of getting it off your chest will be a release to you I guarantee it.

Let it out, it helps.

Frequently.

What has been a massive help for me is to keep a journal of feelings, thoughts and plans on what I'm to do to help myself which I've been doing for nine years.

Your doctor will absolutely not laugh at you for this - doctors are trained professionals and as a paying customer of their services they are obliged to adopt a professional attitude and do their best to help aid you back to good help. I promise you, your doctor has most likely seen much worse than a patient stating they feel frustrated, restless and miserable.

I would advise you to go to your GP and discuss this. Think about this: The sooner you make the appointment, the sooner you will be better...

I wish you all the best.

To echo what the above posters said - your doc will not laugh at you, they're there to listen. If you feel embarrassed tell your doc that you think they'll laugh at you and I'm sure the doctor will reassure you

Keeping a journal is a great idea, as sometimes it's difficult to describe to the doctor how you are feeling and it may help pinpoint what's at the root of it. Try to make a point of writing down the good things too, not to focus solely on the bad.

further to this point, the doc wont laugh, i was feeling the exact same way, literaly miserable! i went to the doc myslef i felt so bad, id randomly cry not knowing what was wrong! the doc was so understanding and actually admitted to feeling the same way herself at one stage to make me feel better as i was rather embarressed about talking about ti.

i got perscribed some anti depressants, as i was having panick attacks too, and i have to say, i was extremely reluctant to take them but im so glad i did! i dont feel super happy or anything, just my old self! i can enjoy life again! i havent cried myself to sleep, or had any panic attacks, the relief is just unreal! obviously im not suggesting this, but the doc will know whats best for you, and you never know, it might help. the ones im on wont cause any harm, and as far as i know, a lot of people are on them!! but thats only one answer but many possibilities! journals, counselling, there are plenty of alternatives, its down to whatever works best for you, and again a doctor will have lots of advice on the subject. i just thought id share how it is for me, and i can honestly say, i feel a million times better! its improved pretty much every aspect of my life.

i hope things pick up for you

Hey Jenny there can be medical reasons why you feel like that also.
See a GP if you are feeling like this alot.On the other hand if you are not happy in life maybe you need to change your whole way of life and look at things that make you happy and things that don't make you happy and cut them out.Or perhaps you are not physically or mentally challenged enough.
Take care we all feel like crying and screaming at someone sometimes.But i would look at reasons why you want to scream at them particular people also.
Also another thing is anger managment which may help

I'm completely up for correction on this. Won't a GP refer you to a counselor or psychiatrist. Would it not be better going straight to one of these.

I know it sounds extreme going to one but honestly it's not a big deal. A lot (and i mean a lot) of people go to them at some stage or another. You do the talking and they just help by focusing your direction and showing you what you're telling them in a new light. A bit like a friend who knows just the exact points to focus on to lead you out of the mess.
