You're not alone. I've been raging like a madman. I quit smoking cigarettes 8 months ago and have been experiencing rage since. I smoked so I wouldn't be so nasty but it started killing me fast. I talk **** to everyone. No one messes with me because it's obvious I've got a screw loose.
This is leading to my feelings of worthlessness.

So, when we feel angry, it is a reaction to a prior emotion. This is why it can be difficult to identify the original feelings. If the anger/rage is more than part of a mood episode, one would do well to consider the cause(s) of the anger/rage. We never immediately feel enraged. There are emotions we experience which then sends us into a rage/anger.

AN example: My sister tells me I am too fat. I feel anger. Before I felt the anger, I felt other feelings, which made me angry. When she said that to me, I felt hurt and betrayed by her. Those are the initial feelings. I then progress to rage/anger.

So when we are trying to resolve anger, we need to try to identify the original feelings.
It is not always easy to identify the initial feelings. However, it is often the only way to resolve the ongoing anger.

Another thing I would like to mention is the fact that many people harbor anger/rage when they truly need to find a way to cry. Yes, cry.
Just something to consider.

I hope you find some relief ASAP.

Keep reaching out!
Good post

(sorry about the ''bump'' I hope nobody minds. I don't necessarily agree with all that DBT teaches (not that I've read much of it) but this is much more helpful to me than all the meds I have been allergic to which make me feel that my body is betraying me

I also don't cry much

I've had many severe problems with rage. The only tool that has worked for me to be calmer is an AP. Maybe Zyprexa isn't the best med for you - or maybe you can take it regularly to create a stable blood level?
