Lately I cannot figure out what is wrong or going on, I am so angry frustrated, I just feel like I could just pound on somebody for no reason. My anger is out of control and just being frustrated about everything. Just a littlest thing sets me off. I sent a message to my doc and then found out he was out of the office so I have not heard back from him. Any suggestions on what to do to keep myself from blowing up on somebody for no reason or hurting someone for no reason. I need a chill pill but not sure which one to take.

Don’t blow up on anyone stay cool. No matter how hard it is, this happened to me and after I blow up on someone I only felt worse.

Strong hugs,

To avoid blowing up at people in that situation, I usually try to minimize unnecessary contact and communication and let those closest to me know how I am feeling. I tell them I might need space or to walk away and if I am short with them I don't mean to be. Although I couldn't always help getting irritated at people, I removed myself from the situation til I cooled down if I felt anger boiling over. I ended up punching things in this state which is somewhat helpful, but usually was done in a rage and was a random object. Might be helpful to punch a pillow or punching bag. I even thought a stress ball might help, but haven't tried it. Also, putting on music, closing my eyes and removing myself from outside stimulation helped, too, because I found myself simultaneously overstimulated. Exercise, walking, meditation and deep breathing were also helpful to me.

Also just wanted to add my pdoc was going to give me prn clonazepam for it, but I didn't end up taking it. He said it would help my anger. I think I might have been hypo or mixed? Hope you feel better soon.
