Why are you so angry?

In some ways I feel I have made so much progress... depression and suicidal thoughts are not as big an issue as they once were... I have exciting goals that I am moving towards... I have more gratitude in my life... my house is cleaner (I was a total slob)... I have more friends... but today I was reminded of how much work there still is to do and the consequences of not getting it done.

So here I am, reaching out to this great community for some help. Advice, strategies, recommendations for books, podcasts, music, videos, supportive words, prayers... I'll take anything.
