RAGE

How do you manage extreme RAGE when it feels like yours is SO strong and powerful that you could even kill somebody, yourself or make a slaughter?

its not an exaggeration. im really meaning it.

No one can help?
My mind is tortured with flashes/thoughts/fantasies/visions of blood and murder.
How do i get the control back?
I'm scared, tired of fighting those images...

I haven't been where you're at, but am thinking of you. Cat

Hey, can you write it down?

A few years ago, I wrote one angry letter to my mother, it included body mutilation of her body, a couple years later, she asked me about it, I brushed it off telling her that I was just confused, I have no feelings for her left in me, and to shut her up, and to keep her out of my life, she'll be receiving a blood soaked piece of paper, I'm not even going to waste my words on it.

The way I see it, it's about the relationship with you and the target of your rage.

Some suggestions are, accept it, use it to help the helplessness, channel it out somehow. Swallow it all back and face your own fear.

Stay safe

ETA: Sober up once in a while. It's just a friendly advice. You're still trying to work it out. Spit 'em all out here if that helps you.

One last thing, get yourself a professional help if other persona feels too real. Guess I need to say that here.

The first thing I have to do when I become enraged is to TRY to remove myself from anything and anyone who triggers me. Then if I'm still having trouble calming down, I'll usually find something to do that will physically drain me of all the anger. Like, find an inanimate object to beat the hell out of, or some type of strenuous work, preferably something that needs to be torn down! I'm currently looking to find myself a sand bag that I can hit, kick and punch whenever I need to. ( saves a lot of money on replacing walls and doors and other broken items! )

I've learned to control it a lot better than when I was younger.

I used to break stuff, hit myself or others, and just be generally out of control.

Now I've learned to isolate myself and have a nice little self-pep talk off that ledge.

While I'm not Zen-like, I'm certainly handling my rage a lot better as I age.

Now to conquer sadness. With the pain of my fibromyalgia, comes depression...

Why don't you try standing in front of a mirror and expressing all of that RAGE? Then when you are calm enough, call your doctor and tell her or him you need help with your emotional regulation.

i ve felt this often when i was a child, wanting to hurt my parents as they were very strict. i guess i just matured and learned not to be this way after years of medication and therapy.
