My grandma died yesterday and I'm having anger problems. I know that it's probably because I'm mad that she died, but that's not what I feel like I get mad about. I keep getting pissed at people who aren't really doing anything wrong or are doing something wrong that is so small I'd usually ignore it. I'm walking around feeling like I just want to beat everyone who talks to me to the ground(which is very strange for me).

Besides sitting there crying, which I've already been doing, how can I get my anger out?

it might not sound like much but I find a blog really helps, or if you aren't into blogs you can always use a regular, real-life, journal. They help you get your feelings and frustrations out of your system without snapping on others.

The benefit of the blog is that you get comments about your feelings which can help you sort them out. Plus it always helps to know you aren't alone ;)

other than that I'd suggest cymbalta (depending on your age, I think cym is for 18+ only) or some other depression medication. Just a small dosage to help level your moods so you can grieve in a more.. healthy? mannor.

In either case what you're going through is completly normal and it's okay to be pissed off and angry, just try to keep your head up the sun will come out again in due time *hugs*

Yeah, I used to keep a journal, but then stopped a while ago. That would be a good idea to start again. I'd really like somewhere to complain about all my minor issues without making people think I'm a completely crazy grump, so I think I'll go with the traditional journal.

I'm really paranoid about medications, so I probably won't be taking any...at least not yet. Maybe if after months I'm still snapping at people, but I think it's pretty normal to be angry at this point since she just died yesterday.

Thanks a lot for the advice, I will try the journal and see if that helps.

A journal is a really good way. My oldest daughter seems to think it helps her when things get rough. So starting it up again might help you. It's really hard to lose someone. It's hard not to vent on everyone around you when the one your mad is not able to help you out. Maybe there is someone near you that understands what's happened and is able to help you put things in the right perspective for you so you can move forward and let go of the anger that your left with.

I really hope that you don't linger long...your grandmother (I'd think) would hate for you to be stuck and miss out on the happiness of your life ahead.
