> I agree that aggressive can mean many things. My depression makes me sappy and more of an introvert. When I am feeling fine I have a shorter temper, but it is always controlled and I don't let people walk all over me. But, when I am depressed I am sometimes afraid I will become violent, but in fact I avoid people(seems weird, but that is what happens at times). I think it is the anxiety and agitation of my depression trying to scare me.
This is kinda how I get too when real depressed. Like when I go off meds and crash real bad, I turn into the biggest wussy...totally unlike my non-depressed personality. Like I feel super guilty all the time, dont make eye contact with people, feel "shy" and worry about all kinds of stupid shit that never happens or that I wouldnt do. I just feel like a wussyboy.But when I get on meds and get out of depression somewhat, my confidence comes back some and Im more focused and less nervous and less uptight. When I get to 50% or better, I start feeling "aggressive" again and more like a man and not a wussy. Like Im focused good and can stand up for myself good.
When Im totally nondepressed, which I havent been in years, Im focused and "in control." I feel aggressive in a good kind of way. Like calm, cool and collected. Like when I go out people respect me and call me "sir" and stuff like that.
But depressed off meds I turn into a wuss and nobody gives me any respect.
Thats why I was saying aggressive is not all bad.
