I could really go on a long spree of writing for context and the like that would end up being an intimidating and potentially time wasting wall of gibberish so I will just get down to the main things I would like some help with. I will however say that the depression I have been combating since I was 9 has become worse than ever in the last few months, I am now 20.

1. I keep getting told to not explode with anger or frustration, that I shouldn't just go off the deep end by essentially everyone. The deep end for me is yelling, hitting walls and most commonly now completely wailing on my own head with my fist or forearm. I realize how stupid this is, but I just do this on instinct now, when I lose my temper I attack my self as opposed to others.

How in the world can I not hold all of this in so much? I have already given my self a concussion out of this stupidity but I can't break it. I just hold everything in until I want to knock my self senseless then try my best at that.

just typing this makes me realize how messed up I am, and the tears start flowing, it really is a massive problem.

I was also going to get a little bit of advice on my crippling social phobia but one step at a time.

I know alot about anger and it getting the best of. When you feel your self getting angry remove your self from the situation.Do something you like or a hobby.Or what i try to do is not let things get to me and let others effect me, bc alot of people like to talk.As for holding it in dont what i do is talk about whats making me mad or get active and by that i mean sports,martial arts,parkour,anything that releases ur anger.
Depression and social phobia I have well if Social Phobia is aka Social anxiety.So if you want more help feel free to ask me. smile

You gotta find a channel for your anger somehow - as you already know, taking out on yourself is no good, especially if you're hurting yourself to the point where you're giving yourself a concussion.

I found some links, maybe one of them will be helpful?

Dealing With Anger - Channeling

Anger, Conflict, Resolution (focuses on anger in relationships, but I think it can be taken in a general context too)
