During manic rages, I can get quite scary. It has resulted in cops being called (or threatened to be called) and people crying. One therapist quit me out of fear, and yet I have never ever threatened any living creature/person, physically. My mouth has been the main cause and/or how I look during rages. [Steam coming from my ears, fire from mouth, red face, laser beam eyes.]
Most of my manic rages were caused by feeling threatened/cornered, under extreme stress, or very frustrated.
I call those times my "Tasmanian Devil" periods. Remember Looney Tunes?

I can relate. My mom used to trigger me big time when I lived with her, saying mean things, swearing and her husband would do the passive aggressive thing and threaten me physically, just by looking at me. So its no wonder I lashed back. Once, I left the house after one of these (different time than walking in the snow in my pajamas as is referenced above) and called my sister and told her
so she called the cops. I got taken to psych emergency services and let go pretty quickly- after they laughed at me for saying some of the things I wanted to do to do to my mom's husband! It was a bad scene!
And yes I remember the Tazmanian devil. I can see how you might feel like that!
