For one, you are not a bother. IT is so easy to think of yourself way, I know because i feel that way towards people i love as well. I want more than anything to be good but i never feel good enough. They just remind me basically that i am being stupid, and i remember that that is true.
I have depression and do not know much about OCD or GAD, i wish i did. However what i can say is that although this is a disease, God cures diseases if you let him or if it is His will. (remember that God does what we would want if we knew what He knows) You mentioned anger. and while mine is not as extreme i guess, i have had problems with anger all my life, stemming from my depression. While i do not know you enough to say where this anger is coming from, i bet it is frustration. frustrated that you don't seem to be getting better (at least that is what you think) There is nothing wrong with being angry, just acting on it is where the problem begins. My advice (which seems to work for me) is to ONE - look at what you are getting angry at, see if there is a different side TWO - see where your anger stems from and try to work on that. It is hard, but very worth it. I can have people yell in my face and i simply shrug it off because i know it is not worth my time to deal with them. It takes self-control which God smiles on. I really hope that helps. I know what you are going through because i have been there,....and partly still am there.
