"Irritable! That's how I often feel!" And upon checking with my wife, she concluded. Peculiar as it may appear we both realized something was not right, separately, on the same day, after 18 months of struggle.
Such was the realisation the consuming outrage that would rise up without warning was actually an indicator that I was reaching my end - I was depressed. What a revelation that was; to know there had been a way out, but that that way out meant admitting my weakness. And then an irony appeared; the instant I confessed my need for help, in that moment - that actual moment - hope drew near.
Irritability is a tell tale sign of depression, especially in males.
Something would go 'wrong ' and I might flip into a rage, even if I was alone or no-one else noticed; within me I was beside myself with ire. And at the very same time part of me was asking, in a desperate state of puzzlement, "What's going on here, Steve?!"
Such fits of anger were tiring, and though happily there was usually no visible harm made, there had been much non secular torture that needed to be reconciled. I was beyond control and didn't know how to revive that control.
But the word irritation - or cantankerous - got me wondering. It hit me in a second of openness of heart and mind. God used that word to reveal his truth. My irritation with the sign I was depressed. I had fought the best I could, in my very own strength, for 18 months. Now was the time to actually admit my weakness and find help.
WHY HATE Is Frequently THE SIGN OF DEPRESSION
Why would we get unreasonably angry otherwise, unless our inner world was in flux?
Sometimes anger is all we have left to rail against a world we can neither understand nor work with. That world, for whatever reason or reasons, has given us cause to feel declined in some form. All we have left is anger. And self-righteousness is the driver, because justice has not been served - according to the depressed perspective.
Hate reveals unhappiness for the issues of contempt in our lives we have no control of. And it does not take much to feel beyond control.
When we admit our sadness nonetheless , because we have realised the role anger is playing, the path to recovery opens up - in spite of the despair within our circumstance. When there's a need. There's a requirement, get pro help to assist you, before it affects your life and make you ned up in debt for cultivating unacceptable habits!

Uncharacteristic irritability could be a sign of the sadness of depression. Often all we have left is anger; but on realising our desire for help, to admit that, opens a path to recovery. If we are honest about anger we may see the sadness underneath. Such sadness is an invite to be explored, to be certified, and to be wrestled with. As fast as we do these things the door to wish swings ajar and then completely open.
