Ya, I wouldn't have counted it as a full blown episode except when I raged I became violent and broke some dishes. That's not a typical response to that situation. I have in the past just internalized the frustration, but this time I got a little crazier than normal. I screamed and broke things and couldn't calm down or be calmed down. I scared my husband and kids. I went from perfectly calm to a raging lunatic in less than 10 seconds. I scared myself! I haven't escalated like this in a few months...
I can complete relate. I know the posters saying be calm and take a breath mean well. BUT rage is rage, it is uncontrollable AND it sneaks up on you. I've got so mad I scared myself too. The only solution I've found is avoid the trigger.
