Skittles,

What you describe sounds a lot like myself. It's the main reason I sought professional help in the first place. Fortunately, I have not acted out on other living beings, but I have left a wake of destruction in my path.

I have been a lot better since being on Depakote, but the violent thoughts (with gruesome, gory visions) and pure rage make me very paranoid of myself.

And yes, during those moods, I will get furious over tiny things!
So, it does happen to other people.
