Have you considered the possibility that you may have PTSD? I used to go into rages where everything looked red while I was having a "fit"&luckily I never got into law trouble. This year the anger/rage became a real problem for me again&my t diagnosed me w/PTSD. Bouts of rage that are "triggered" by sights, sounds, smells, being touched, etc. I just turned 40&everything came back in a flood-lots of abuse issues. Maybe this is what is going on with you? I also know that when I get manic I can be terribly nasty. Maybe try to make a journal of times when you've become angry&the yu&your t can look through it&figure some things out. I'm currrently on meds, in therapy&read lots of books on anger&controlling it. You feel what you feel but yo don't want to get in trouble because of it-go to a t.
