Sometimes i get ao angry i punch things. On a really bad day, i threw a kitchen chair at my dishwasher, repeatedly slammed cupboard doors because I wanted to break something. is this anxiety, or part of depression? I'm on meds for both but was wondering too if anyone else experiences this. Thankfully this hasn't happene in a few weeks but it use to happen frequently for the last 2 years.

I have done the same things. (Racing thoughts, hair pulling or other frustration based actions, and the frustration quickly turning into anger.) When I took the Sanity Score test I had 14 areas of major concern. Two of these areas were Anxiety and Depression so it may directly related to your dx. However, another area of major concern, and my dx is Borderline Personality Disorder. I am not saying that is your dx (I am not a doctor, nor do I play one on tv). I just wanted to let you know, that even though we have different dx's, you are not alone. Many of the therapy sessions that I had dealt directly with the "breaks of violence," and my inability to shut down my mind at bedtime. I'm far from my ideal, but it has gotten better. If you haven't already spoken with your therapist about this, I would suggest that you do so. There is hope; there is help.
