Ouch (hammers hurt! Especially silver ones). And depression can be hard to just slog through... not to mention the negative-feedback cycle. Anger can play the same trick -- someone is angry, but no one wants to get close to them (and help them release some of their anger) because that person is irascible and grumpy. Feeling isolated and ignored, they just get grumpier.
Recognizing these processes helps, agreed... I've watched Pat deal with bad bouts of depression and I've wrestled with anger and resentment. Hope you're gliding out of the hole by now (hug). And thanks...
