You could try screaming into pillows; chomping on carrots; buying & hitting a dummy or punching bag; hmmmmm..... Those are the only ideas I've been able to come up with. It sounds as though you get intense energy surges and you want to GET IT OUT. Anger? Have you talked to a T about these tendencies that you struggle with?
Gentle hugs to you.

I don't think its simple anger, but that is part of what I feel..I think it has a lot to do with my having PTSD since that makes me on edge so I am more likely to get set off. I didn't really have this issue as a kid I think I was better at suppressing things, in fact my suppressing of things probably increased my risk for getting PTSD. But yeah it is literally an intense energy surge because if something triggers me it sets off what is known as the fight of flight response also reduces impulse control. Luckily I don't bang or hit my head every time I get set off....but still enough to be concerning to me.
