think? Every little thing irritates me. Things that wouldn't irritate most normal people. I am very impatient and I want things done right away. I am now getting to the point to where I hate my home phone or cell phone to ring. It always seems like when it does it's a family member and they usually don't want anything. I feel like people are always tracking me down or calling me to do something (i.e. transport them around). When my friends call they always seem to call with problems. I have problems of my own. I don't mind listening to their problems, but I really don't have a lot of advice since I'm going through a lot. I will read a book almost to the end and then put it down for several weeks. Then when I pick it back up I can't remember everything in the story. I will not read long articles or e-mails. I just skim through them and if nothing appears to be interesting within the first 5 seconds I stop reading it. I even get mad at my husband for normal things.It seems as if I am in this mode of irritation, and I feel that everybody is bothering me if they call or ask me to do something. I'm really not a selfish person but as of the past few years I will avoid family members that I know will want a ride somewhere or something. I tell them I have other things to do. At work I have to force myself to stay off Yahoo Answers sometimes. I will start working and before I know it I'm back on this.

You might be OCD, but then again it might just be personality traits. Maybe try some diagnosis exercises.

Irritability can be a symptom of depression. Impaired attention span can also be a symptom of depression.Sometimes people tell you their problems because they want advice; sometimes, they tell you their problems because you say "Hmmm" convincingly. Try saying "I don't know" instead of "Hmmm."Do you have access to a counselor whose fees are within your budget?

Maybe, not really one but an initiate of one. It is easy, see a doctor, find a free one. If you think you have a mental problem, so you do and if you think it is easy to have treatment, so it is. However there must be solution of any irritation. Problems come with solution. Depression comes from roots.
