Hi, I can understand your distress regarding your symptoms. Being more irritable and angry, feeling frustrated, crying spells and wanting to harm self are symptoms suggestive of depressive episode. I would suggest you talk to your family members and seek a psychiatric consultation without any delay. Thoughts of wanting to harm self should be taken seriously and immediately treatment must be instituted. You would respond to anti-depressant medications (Escitalopram or sertraline). In addition, it would be advisable to start exercising daily. Talking to someone and expressing your thoughts can help you feel lighter. Alternatively you can start writing diary on a daily basis. Hope this information was helpful. Wish you a speedy recovery.
