I do not know, but I know it well, and I have had to learn to (sometimes even literally) "drop the hammer" (to the floor, not upon anything or anyone) and just do nothing at all until after having re-gathered my senses. I think CloserToTheMid is accurate in mentioning overwhelmed as the (or at least as an) underlying issue, but why anger is the intrusive emotion rather than any other still eludes me.
