Hi,

Thought I needed to pop in as my anger is playing a huge part in my life right now. I get angry at the silliest thing and for nothing. A child was walking infront of me and taking his time, it peed me off to the point I wanted to shout obsenity's at him. Pls don't judge me.

I am angry at the world, I am angry with my parents, I am angry at the few friends I have and I am angry with society. I feel like punching someone at times although I would never do it. If anyone disagresees with me or has a different point of view I hate them for it. Not all the time....just when I am in this phase. My anger has left me very isolated and hateful towards the worlds contents and myself.

Even worse, my anger is at psycho level when I do actually have something real to be angry with. I mean I become irrationally aggressive and violent towards my husband and have had thoughts about being violent with general public.

I am not always like this. When I am 'ok' I am a fun loving, easy going, spirit of the party kind of girl who can take anything on the chin and see a positive in everything. But not today and not for the last few days.

When depressed its's worse but horrible thing is, I am not even depressed right now, I feel kind of levelled out but just really easily angered and have zero tolerence for everything. And all of this, I still expect ppl to be tolerent of me and my moods. I want help. I really do. I have spoken with my CPN and she has brought my pdoc app froward to June and has mentioned going back into therapy but I need some kind of quick fix.

Any angry souls understand this and how do you deal with it if at all?

I get it. Sometimes I feel a huge rage building in me. It was worse when I was younger. I didn't have a diagnosis so wasn't on meds. I hated everyone and was in an abusive marriage. Finally now I'm on a mood stabilizer and that has helped. I make myself stay in contol. I still have a few bad episodes now and then. And the fact that most people annoy me doesn't help.

My anger has always had it's up's and down's also. Almost always I'm very tolerant of everyone and because of that I find it very difficult when people are not tolerant with me. I have always tried to watch what I say, because I consider myself a people pleaser. But for some reason I have zero tolerance for people who take advantage of other people or rude people, I have a history there of being emotionally abused. For me I find that listening to music helps. I take an I pod or whatever they call it with me wherever I go. I'm not artistic at all but I love art. I personally have to be careful what I read or watch cause I always think I can do it better than anyone else, even though I don't say that. Hope the idea of music helps...

In the past two years I have become very angry. I call it the rage. It just comes over me like a tsunami and I am lost in the fog of rage. I haven't been violent, but I think violent thoughts. Very, very violent thoughts which are scary. I get angry very easy and at stupid things. I get angry at my mother-in-laws dog for wanting to be let outside to go to the bathroom. Or for walking in front of me.

My anger has come from a build-up of things that happened over time. I am working on making it less, but since I dont' have access to a T or pdoc right now I often feel powerless and like I'm losing my mind.

I deal with it by trying to calm myself down. I try to reason with myself. I try to take deep breaths. I take some time to "let it out." Like.... go out to the car and scream my head off. Sometimes I can't and like I'll go on a long rant about something to my husband and it kind of freaks him out. The other day he told me that I'm an angry person and I just agreed with him. I said I was an angry person and I'm struggling with learning to cope with things. I am not going to deny it.

I hate being angry all the time and I just want it to go away. I used to be a carefree, laid back, and calm person. It took a lot to get me to lose my temper. I want to be that person again.

After my manic/psychotic episode the rage was overwhelming. Luckily I had a few ppl in my life that I could share my thoughts with, without them judging me. It made all the difference. I knew I wouldn't act on my violent thoughts-it's just not me-and my friends knew that.
But I was miserable. I prefer depression to the rage anytime.
Seroquel was the med that's been helpful.
Good luck

Been dealing with rage/anger for the past few years. Multiple causes. Treatment resistant ultradian cycling/mixed state, frustration with watching my life go down the drain, an unempathetic/unsupportive wife. Even high dose Klonopin(2-3mg) triggers irritability and it's the only drug I can take. Angry, right now, writing this, because I truly don't have any options. Just want to run away from my effed up wife and live a quiet, solitary life, with an occasional lady to share my bed.
