Hi, I understand. Diagnostic criteria are never enough. What are your other symptoms (other than the anger you mentioned) ? Perhaps, if you share them with us, we could help you figure it out.
Here are some of my symptoms:
- Uncontrollable and scary (even to myself) anger at the most insignificant things
- Extreme loneliness (not as bad anymore, because I discovered the guy in the mirror)
- Extreme jealousy: Especially when I see couples ... when I see "the life I could have had". (I use immediate and severe dissociation to dodge this one)
- Extreme anxiety about the future: Will I always be alone ? How and where will I die ? Will I ever get injured and not be able to exercise anymore ? I assure myself that, no matter what, I will be able to depart if need be.
- Constant ideation about leaving Earth (sorry, I don't like the "s" word): I'm always up for exploring the worlds beyond Earth. I don't like it here.
- Crying suddenly and at almost nothing: Feels like there's all this emotion bottled up inside, that's just waiting to come gushing out. It seizes any chance it can and comes out (sometimes) as tears.
- Ignorance is bliss: "The stock market dropped 10 points today" ... WHO GIVES A FLYING ***** ??? "Obama said, in his speech to ...." (Tuned out). I don't care about most things most people care about. I have so much to worry about in my own personal life, that world matters are completely insignificant.
- Extreme sexual frustration: I have NO love life. It's painful ... in addition to the overwhelming emotional need, there's also the physical need, and it hurts like hell. Like a 500 lb guy being starved to death.
