There are moments when I get so mad that I want to smash something- and these are the dangerous moment, because when the reason for my fury is a person, I often feel almost an urge to physically hurt them. And I know that if I lose it, I can do it. I just feel it. It's like I am becoming somebody else in those particular moments.
I also get irritated easily- sometimes it's just one word said in a particular manner, or a person. Although recently it's people in general- their stupidity, their ignorance, their poor judgement, and so on. All this makes me angry and frustrated all the time. Is there any way to overcome it? And psychologists couldn't help- I hate their gibberish-talking about how you must believe in yourself, be optimistic, try to see the positive site of life and so on- it doesn't help at all. They don't even know how to help. But then... maybe it's just a thing about the psychologists in my country.
I'm not exactly sure whether my post is logical and makes any sense but... I tried.

I hope this helps. I've worked with several people who were truly scary. I think you run a
serious risk of getting pounded to a pulp by the person you choose to harm. I mean this in all sincerity and with good intent: minding your manners is the best way to get along in the world. Women are no safer than men, nowadays. Everyday I encounter women who look ready for a fight. I think the way to overcome your anger and frustration is to
let it go. I know, I know, easier said than done. I disagree. Let it go. If people are stupid and use poor judgment, find a way around them. Hitting them is no answer and will only land you in court or in hospital. No psychiatrist worth his or her salt is going to palm you off with platitudes. I don't think you need a psychiatrist as much as you need a tough, been around the block a few times counselor; one who is willing to work with someone having a problem coping with life in general. Please see if you can find someone like that. And on an even more practical note, have you thought of joining a gym? If you exercise hard enough and long enough, endorphins will kick in and you will feel better emotionally and your body will appreciate the conditioning. I wish you peace of mind and love.
