I've swatted him on his bottom and smacked his hand but I don't even like doing that. I'm afraid that the rage will take over and I could really hurt him. Right now it's manageable so I'm not scared yet but that's usually my main fear when I'm irritable and rageful.
At least the meds are working enough to keep me somewhat contained.

I definitely had this problem too before meds especially, now the meds take the edge off enough that I don't have a physical reaction to things like I did before. I used to feel it in my arms and hands that I had to grab or shake or something. I never went off the deep end thankfully but it was scary.
I know how challenging it can be to parent sometimes. Are you on any other websites that talk about parenting specifically?
