Adult Temper Tantrums

Do any of you know about adult temper tantrums, are there causes to them? other than just wanting their way like a child does? I'm askingbecause I tend to do what I believe to be tantrums, crying fits, rage, screaming, trowing my self to thr ground, kicking my feet up and down, jumping up and down, etc just like a child does. I dont know what I do this, and it mostly happenes when I get upset about something culd be anything, and when I'm very stressed, tired, and not feeling wells its wrost. Any ideas on this? and how to cope with it? When they happen I have no control over what I am doing and have no clue I am doing it until the after effect. Is this an adult temper tantrum or something different?

I go through something similar any time I don't get my way. I feel like crying, I get moody and irritable. I don't want anything to do with the person who didn't give me what I want either. I don't really know where it comes from but I just wanted to let you know you're not alone.

Even during them I look at myself like "wtf is going on? Why am I behaving like this? how can I stop?" but I can't stop, the feeling is still there.

That is how I am smackyfrog I tell myself to stop, but cant than I get more upset. My boyfriend asked me today after one of my crying fits, do you have any control of what you're doing when you're like this? I replied with a sad No and bursted out into tears

I feel one coming on now...Boyfriend's been playing Black Ops for 4 hours now and has basically forgotten that I exist. I'm leaving for Cuba the day after tomorrow and this is the last night we'll get to snuggle for a week and a half and now I want to cry, kick, scream and beat him senseless with a frying pan because he doesn't understand why I'm upset.

I feel ya 100% there that is how i am with my BF and his video games, and lately it has been bad, and than last night I had a HUGE fit because it was like I couldnt do anything I wanted, it's always wanthe wanted, his games, his stuff, blah blah, and i had important things and he kept interrupting or not understand why I'm upset. I got so upset I literally just started hitting myself back and forth on my head and just trowing mysel fto the ground, stumping, etc and he STILL didnt get it.... So I feel yas! (((HUGS)))

He also hasn'tunderstand my routines, why I ask what is going on the next day when we go to bed, why I repeat things, etc. All I ask is for him to listen, but sometimes it feels like he isnt, which turns into huge fits for me

you are so not alone (((((safe hugs))))) i agree with the others. i do this also but mine turns to the point i am throwing things screaming cursing and breathing so heavy my chest hurts. it doesnt take much to set me off and i always feel like garbage afterwards theres only so many times i can say sorry for acting out in the same manner. i was embarrassed to admits this but since i have seen that i am not the only one i dont feel so alone and ashamed of it altho i am very ashamed of my anger exploding episodes. im curious alot what this is associated with. i know growing up expressing any emotion in my family was strictly forbidden and my therapist thinks that is the key to my explosive episodes. i hope that you dont feel so alone with this now and that we all find answers soon as to why we are doing this and how to best learn to control and channel in better ways good luck to you and the rest here dealing with this ((((safe hugs))))

I also curse, scream, etc I even trow myself to the ground and breath heavy and cant catch my breath etc. I wish i knew why I did it Therpist hasnt said anything about being from the past etc, alot of things have been trown at me even forms of austism but no answers
