annabelle 18 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 There has been a family member that I currently live with that is driving me crazier than I already am. He was recently in the hospital for suicidal ideation (but they released him after two days because they knew it was a cry for help) so I feel like I cant express my anger with him. I spent 6 days in a hospital for being extremely suicidal years ago and it really upsets me that he isnt taking any of it seriously. I do think he is having problems with anxiety and depression but he isnt even trying to take care of himself. Its not because he is depressed, its because he is unwilling to change his lifestyle. I have struggled since early childhood but practically never acted out for attention. I always kept things to myself or confided in a few people. He on the other hand, has been telling everyone and had SO many people visit him in the hospital. It makes me very very very angry. That is a short list of things that bug me. I really want to be sympathetic but I cant. Im just so mad and I cant express that to him for fear he actually is mentally/emotionally unstable. This builds up and burns.I cant sleep right and its making me even more irritable. I am just filled with such anger some nights that I lie in bed for hours imagining confrontations with him. My blood pressure goes up, my heart races, and I even sometimes shake with anger. I have even come close to having a panic attack. Does anyone have any advice on how to get sleep when angry thoughts are racing through your head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 I hate when I feel like this ... the only way I have found to deal with it is to take some xanax. That will clam me down enough to sleep. Are you on any meds? I'm sorry I don't have any other ways to deal with it! Maybe others will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
