Anxieties and anger

[I][SIZE="7Does anyone ever have bad anger spells when they are very nervous and anxious?I do sometimes when I get really anxious I do lose my temper and then become angry and start to yell.I know part of this is from my mood disorder and bipolar. My son told my shrink have been yelling ever since he was a kid at 13 that was over 25 years ago when I first started experiencing mood swings I mean one minute I am crying the next laughing ,this gets to be so frustrating because I never know when my moods are going to chance I am on trileptol and risperidone however I think my doctor maybe taking me off of it because he said it might be causing my tremors,I will have to wait and see when I get some of my meds next week.It is very hard for me to control my anger I always seem to get this way whenever I lose something or something doesn't work right for instance the other morning at two am I completely lost is because I had cable and no sound.I yelled thank goodness my windows were closed.Or when my witch of a land lady comes here.She makes me so darn anxious.there are times when I do get nervous and I can control myself,matter of fact I just laugh at my problem then there are other times well forget it ,it gets to be real bad.A few times I have taken a pillow and yelled into that.There was a time that whenever my hot water heater ran I would completely melt down I would get shaky and cry because the noise was just to loud I even yelled at the thing.I am better a bit with it now because it doesnt seem to be that loud or if I feel like I cannot handle it,i will put my headphones on. The anger really bothers me because it actually scares me,I am trying to stop but it isnt really easy to do.Does anyone else get like this from anxieties?/oh ya I was really very angry when my mom died too,

I'm sorry you're struggling with your anxiety. It really seems like you're trying your best by visiting your doctor, taking meds, ecc. I'm assuming you already see a therapist.

Perhaps you could try some physical exercise to relieve the stress and anger?

Yeah, my son (16) has struggled with this all his life. He has always been a very intense person - every little thing took on these humongous emotional ramifications with him. At some point, things took a worrisome, fretful, fearful, OCDish tone. His anxiety manifested itself in fear.

As he got into his mid teens, the OCD/fear dissipated and as the fear dissipated it was replaced by extreme irritation and rage - much of what you described resonates. He's not bipolar but is diag with PDD-NOS.

At the core of it, always thought that anxiety was at the root of things, both the fear and the rage.

No therapist cannot afford one right now and I have been to like five of them and they were of no help at all I felt worse when I left there offices.

I myself do have a lot of fears right now it is so dark in here I hear thunder and that just scares me to death we always seem to lose power when we have a stinken storm I got my radio on to scared to be alone this happens every single time we get a thunderstorm I usually hide underneath the covers I am shaking right now,so I am going off the pc sorry so short ,

I am not so anxious today but I am feeling so depressed and lost.I want to cry so bad but I am having a hard time getting it out.I miss my husband ,,mom and dad and my grandmother too.It is kind of a gloomy day all I feel like doing is sleeping,I am very tired didnt get much sleep again last night about four hours if that.I think I may try to take a nap this afternoon I wish I had someone to talk to my kids dont understand my illness they just think I am crazy who can I talk to I have no family .My one friend I do have doesnt want me calling her. She wont be working on Fridays anymore starting in OCt and that was my big day with her,she would laugh watch Days, and sometimes movies but she loves Match Game so we watch that for a few laughs. She would stay for 3 hours so now my visits went from 6 hours a week to a measly three .I feel so sick over this,

I just found out that the klonopin can cause frustration ,anger and violence. so why am I taking this my doctor is making me mad he told me a week ago he was going to give me something other then requipt for the restless leg he didnt give me a darn thing I had to call back I dont know what I am going to do if he doesnt give me anything,

You are not alone in this. I tend to get very irritated and angry when I'm anxious as well. I think it's different for everyone. Some people close up and shut themselves out while others cry and other's such as us get angry.
