I'm not sure how we ended up at "taking it out on others". Those are your words. I'm talking about being irritable and yes sometimes overreacting to things that you otherwise could swallow.

Are you also of the impression that depressed people should just think "wow, this is just my brain playing tricks on me but I will just think happy thoughts instead"? It's all about self control, right?

If you can, more power to you. Please share your secrets with science.
