I'm currently on 1500 mg of Depakote and 200 mg Seroquel. Seems to be helping my mind to stop racing and control my mind from wondering too much into the darkness but I'm still having trouble with intense rage.
This can come out of nowhere. I rarely ever act on this rage but inside it feels like it's clawing at me to let it free and scream and beat someone up and make a huge scene. The more I control it the harder it gets to keep to myself and sometimes I have to go somewhere quiet and break something Anyone have any experiences like this and if so did anything help you? |

Hello firewater83: Oh yes, I have had some experience with this sort of thing. I have allot of anger I carry around inside. This has always been the case. I'm aging now &, as a result, I tend to be less volatile. When I was younger, I broke things on a regular basis. I still feel the urge. I just don't act on it.
What I try to do is to accept these types of emotions... with compassion. I breathe into them & smile to them. Sometimes I'll even place my hand over my heart as a sign of lovingkindness & compassion for what I am feeling. I strive to accept what I am feeling whatever it is, just as it is. I don't always succeed. But this is always my goal. I do this in the belief that trying to ignore or stuff down unwanted thoughts or emotions just causes them to grow stronger. Another thing I will do is to do walking meditation. I find this particularly useful if I am having difficulty sleeping because of pent-up anger. Going for long walks outside also helps me.

I'm trying to quit my AP right now. Long story. Only thing keeping me calm is trileptal (increased dose myself, no I wouldn't advise anyone to do that) and my ativan
