I've had very bad rage and irritability in the past. I was put on Abilify for it and it helped alot. I still get irritable now and then.
I also had a bad episode of rage on Sunday. I threw such a fit over something minor that the thoughts in my head were taking over and I had no control. I was in the shower, too, and my razor was in my hands and well, I won't say more of what I wanted to do.
It's hard to snap out of it quickly. How do you do it?
I tried really hard not to say any harsh words to my stepdaughter when I was raging mad. I so just wanted to yell at her some nasty things, but I thought to myself, "She'll be telling her therapist this one day." and that's what stopped me.
