Hi-

There are times when I get so angry, I have impluse control issues....this then turns into an enger/highanxiety attack in which my heart is pounding.. Yesterday I could not control my actions & sent the guy I am dating a pic of some female I think he is cheating on me with. It was whacky on my part..I knew I should not do it, Bu tcould not stop my self.

Maybe this belongs on the relationship forum?

He just texted back "creepy,creepy,creepy".

Any tips on controlling my impulses?

kirby777, We basically have the same dx's. I know what causes me to be impulsive and sometimes it is the antidepressant that I am put on. Sometimes I get AD induced hypomania and I also get a little impulsive. I have an ADHD dx but it has not been well documented nor well tested and I also have been impulsive in things and done things I wish I hadn't of. My best help was knowing how to spot my mood or urge before it happened so I could stop myself. My first indication that I was getting this way was anger. I don't normally get angry very often. Do you have triggers that have stemmed from your childhood? I know that I do and these triggers have pushed me to do things that I wouldn't have normally done. I have had to become aware of these triggers with my T and support groups. I wish you wellness and the best with your boyfriend. Regards.

i used to have outbursts of anger usually when someone was telling me they thought i was getting sick mentally, i found out they were right as it was more than one person too. I was hospitalised and got help for myself with doc and t. they really helped and i hardly ever get ngry anymore.good luck

I was on a script that was making me feel the same way. I could not control my actions and I did not like it. I told the doctor I wanted off because I was not acting like myself. He told me to wean off but I just stopped because I started harming myself. I think that the antidepressant triggered hypomania in me, the doctor was confused because it happened suddenly. I have been with my husband for 8 years and had a similar issue, and I knew it wasn't true in my mind but I could not stop my mouth from saying it. I hope that you are feeling better, and things are better for you and your boyfriend.
