What do you do when you feel miserable?

Lately I've been feeling really hopeless and miserable. From being a sweet and easy going person that was never bothered by much, I have become a very bitter, caustic person and I have started hurting people that I really care about. Today I had an argument with my mother which turned into me being so rude and disrespectful that I feel like shit now. She's the best person I know and even though she forgave me instantly, I know I've hurt her real bad today. I'm just so disgusted with myself and I just feel so miserable.

Force myself to exercise or meditate and then work out in my head how to go about fixing the parts of me that I don’t like

@Effloresce It must be nice to be that sorted. I've just been having random bursts of anger and I feel so damn low that at that time I lose any consciousness of what I'm doing. It's making things worse, as I'm not an angry person at all.

@Maiya nah I never am able to actually fix what I try to fix, but being able to acknowledge the parts that you don’t like is a great step one. Have you looked into seasonal affective disorder? That’s always what causes me to act that way this time of year

@Effloresce No I haven't but I sure will. Thank you.
