Eloquent, I have experienced the exact anger you're referring to, that adrenaline rush where I'm fully capable of destroying the house, etc. And it's always been out of an "injustice" as you said; people cutting me off in traffic, I'm waiting for a chance to turn and ppl behind me are honking. It has sent me into a rage. I used to ignore that stuff pretty well. But a few months ago I would get, "incensed" is the word I use. And not just at that---my mom had to take her epileptic dog to the vet, and of course he was acting out of the norm, and one of the vets said, "He's crazy!" and they weren't being facetious. I only heard about it over the phone, but just hearing it made me want to call the place and chew their ***** out. Had I been there I would've certainly ripped them a new one. I realized my anger was getting out of control when people would swerve around me in traffic and almost clip my car, and in response I had to stifle the urge to ride their tail and let them have it. At the time I had no issue with it, but later it freaked me out and I'd think, "Yeah, that's not normal." My dr said I was going a little too "high" so he added a med which has helped a lot.

I never had an anger problem before; truthfully I think I kept it hidden because I saw how my badly my parents handled their anger, so I didn't know a "healthy" way to deal with it. I think in realizing I'm Bipolar and dealing with all that I have in recent years, it's simply made me not take ***** from people like I used to. I don't have a lot of fear of people hurting me, whatever, cause I know if the adrenaline kicks in I can put up a fight. But more than that I've just realized, "I can't hold this in, I can't just sit here and take it. I have to vocalize how I feel." To family members and friends, I mean. But if someone was to hurt one of my animals...... well...
