I am young adult female and I have been having some tough times recently, but there is one thing that I have had for awhile that is starting to bother me now. I am constantly angry. I will rave and rage at employees at the stores, I am driving faster than usual, and I just feel the strong urge to bite on something. I don't want to bite anyone just myself or something like a bath pouf. I curse all the time and I hate everybody. I've always been an angry human being but this is just getting bad. I used to love listening to screaming rock music as a teenager. In the past I have been ticketed for driving 40 miles over the speed limit. I was told by another cop I should take road rage courses. I have felt the need to bite and stuff my mouth full for a long time. I remember watching this tv show once where these two friends had been going through some difficulties and they just started stuffing their mouths. Prior to watching that I had done that too so when I watched this show I realized my problem was probably more than just oral fixation and maybe it was due to my inner desperation. I don't know if all of this aggression is due to some sort of sexual unfullment since I'm a 28 year old virgin, but I am constantly horny. Please I don't need any of the "go get laid" advice, because I have always been a very reserved person and in the mental state I am right now I am not ready for any kind of relationship even if it was merely a sexual one. I try to masturbate everyday to calm down a bit. I have taken zoloft for depression because of the problems I mentioned at first, but they don't seem to work for ocd and rage as they do for depression. I just want to know what this anger can be called and what I can do or take for it. I have been taking hot baths and trying to calm my nerves.

I've been angry all my life, and had my anger pointed out to me as scary and over the top more than once, even though I haven't crossed the line into violence. What helped me was mindfulness meditation. I do it twice a day now for 10 minutes morning and night. I made some posts about it with good links where you can learn how to do it and how it works. Not religious, it predates buddhism. It's a practice to assist you in calming and learning about your mind. Good luck. Nothing else worked for me. This was free and effective in a matter of days. I can't guarantee everyone would get such fast results, but it's got to be faster than psychotherapy, and it's not expensive. Just costs a little time. I hope you find something that works for you.

Getting laid, won't resolve this, so, as you ask, I won't suggest it.

(quote"The anger-impulsive bite is said to often result from
frustration and incompetence in dealing effectively with conflict
situations on the part of the perpetrator and is “governed by time,
location, situation, and type of anger"http://www.all-about-forensic-psychology.com/support-files/forensicbiting.pdf

How do you feel about therapy? How do you feel, about anger management classes?

Repressed anger, can oft be a result of having not been in a place in life, to learn to effectively handle anger. "Facing the Fire" by John Lee, is a book, I found helpful, in understanding why I was still, so angry about my childhood/teen years and early adult years.

To much anger can isolate you, even more and make you even more angry. Are you using anger to protect yourself?

I have been angry my whole life and people have told me that my anger is scary all the time. people have become afraid of me. I cant live alone, I can't drive, I cant have friends, I can't take a class for four years, because of my behavior. When I try to control my anger, people still tell me that I look angry or is throwing a fit. How do I make it so that I do not look angry all the time?
