I went through bouts of this when I was in my teens. I used to get a chuckle when someone got hurt and I had a few physical encounters with my mom and a schoolmate just because I had such a rage inside me that needed to get out. The fight I had with my schoolmate, I blacked out. I felt as though I was moving in slow motion while hitting her.

Good thing is I grew out of it; or at least I learned to control it so that I don't feel that way any longer. I have no idea why I felt such anger back then, maybe it was part of my mania starting to get a grip on me.

One thing I always told my kids while they were growing up is, if you want to yell at someone or you are so mad that you want to fight, go beat up a tree. You get your anger out and you don't have to worry about saying "sorry" in the morning.
