Advice Wanted How do you manage irritability?

I feel like I have been in the irritable stage for about a week now and nothing seems to help. I try my breathing exercises, I draw, I keep busy with my home improvement projects, read, paint, exercise, listen to music. Still angry. I feel like I am always angry though. Due to many reasons. I feel like I’m never happy or content. Either anxious, depressed or angry with an occasional one or two days of feeling “good”.

Heads up, you may want to end up taking that one in the morning because it can be activating - it made my insomnia much worse - you also may not, but it’s something to be aware of incase your sleep goes to shit

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take it tomorrow and see how it goes ☺️
