i get bouts of major anger too - i wake up feeling irritable and anything can set me off - usually something so minor that no one else even registers the event, until i start kicking off.

going to a therapist to try to sort out the underlying reason for the anger is a great idea, but in the meantime it may be worth trying to treat it. this kind of extreme anger is usually a sign for me of impending hypomania/psychotic episode. usually, if i increase my dosage of seroquel a little, it evens things out again. obviously that's not a long term fix, but it may be helpful to calm it a little until you can work through the causes.

also, slightly odd, but bear with me! does it get worse in any particular kind of weather? the weather in the uk summer is often very muggy, sticky and close - like a huge storm is due. if the weather is like that, i instantly get angry, i wake up angry and snap at people, get irate at irrational things etc, but after the storm, i chill out a bit. apparently this is something to do with electrical charges in the air. i don't know if there's anything to be done about it, but it may be worth seeing whether certain climate makes you more angry. apparently it's fairly common - strange but hey.

i hope you are feeling ok today xxx
