anyone have sudden rages where you feel out of touch with reality?

Binti1962 · Sep 23, 2012, 07:48 PM

Not often, but about every couple of months I fly into a violent homicidal rage and feel like I'm watching it happen with no control over the situation. I feel disconnected. The rages don't last long, but are very hurtful for my family.

is this part of having bipolar II, or some other mental illness? I do take Abilify and it has helped a lot, but I still have the occasional rage episode.

thanks.

Yeah I'm bpii and I'm not homicidal but I get angry and violent and scream and cry and etc,
Hoping it will stop with these new meds

I know rage well. I'm rarely violent, especially to anyone else. I've got a box full of coping tools, and age helps bring calm.

Sounds a lot like my son, 16, actually. He's not willing to take meds, but since you are! Ask your pdoc to help you with this. Lithium and xanax are what they gave my son. You need to get help with this before something really bad happens.

Funny you should mention this. I am having evil thoughts toward my mother right now. Took my Zyprexa which will hopefully calm me.

Lol that sounds funny

I just get emotions quickly lately. :-\ and intensely.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 08:47 PM

No way to tell pes/per. They'd just write horrible things in my chart and want me to come in.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 08:53 PM

Where is everybody? There ate too many people here and not enough online.

BlueInanna · Sep 23, 2012, 08:53 PM

just say you're having intrusive thoughts, don't give the details, ask how to deal with them

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 08:56 PM

Soft music and Ativan likely. I'll ask though. Be back after I call.

BlueInanna · Sep 23, 2012, 08:59 PM

it's confusing with therapists, once you've lost trust with one... whats the point. i go in and, i realized the hard way that i can't be totally honest all the time, so how are they really going to be able to help me. they say they have your best interest in mind, but they have theirs as well, and their business's livelihood, their personal suvival in this economy, their liability (they call it legal responsibility)... very negative of me, sorry, but my bad experience tainted my future chances at therapy.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:01 PM

Well my therapist -old one- said to never tell pes that I want to harm anyone. I did once. T said it was a very bad idea to have that in your record. I texted my friend but he won't text back. I feel like I'm in some kind of alternate reality lately.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:05 PM

Now she is yelling at the kids and it's driving me insane. All pdoc every says is to leave. Even for a little while. But I can't. Drugged and it's late. I'd be at Starbucks and up all night.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:11 PM

You still there BlueI?

BlueInanna · Sep 23, 2012, 09:15 PM

can you go on walk?

BlueInanna · Sep 23, 2012, 09:16 PM

just go stand outside for a minute, change of scenery

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:19 PM

They are downstairs. They criticize my every move at night and going outside would be worthy of that.

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:20 PM

I really wish my friend would call or text but apparently it not gonna happen. I hate to call if he won't respond to a text.

but if going outside or quick walk will help your mental health, you've got to take care of yourself. shouldn't the kids be in bed - school night? maybe that's what your mom is yelling about. there are what 6 kids there right now?

Moose72 · Sep 23, 2012, 09:28 PM

5 kids and who cares? Yelling is stressing me out no matter about what. I've been on so many walks the last two weeks! I could see if I can take Ativan too. I took Zyprexa yesterday and couldn't keep my eyes open! What gives? I gotta get up to take the kids to school.
