>As for wanting to scream - do it! Scream into a pillow until you can't scream anymore! Slap that pillow silly. Scream at the people and things that are causing this anger. Tell them what they are doing to you. I also scream at God, but it usually ends into a very loud prayer of sorts. Things do change! That is the only constant. I hope they change for the better for you.

Noa, Annie is absolutely right about the guilt, it is unwarranted and will only encourage a downward spiral of depression.
She's also right about the screaming. My favorite place is in the car, as long as no one is along side you(then again, so what?). I like not having to muffle myself with a pillow, I just let loose, sometimes even to the point of hurting my throat, but it is verrrry cathartic. My screaming is also usually directed at God, but somehow I don't think she/he minds.
Think I'll start a thread on philosophy, it would be interesting to hear opinions on *Belief* and mental illness. Stay tuned...
