I've been at a bad point before where everything got under my skin horrifically so.
Before being medicated I was always angry but it was like a passive anger that just boiled beneath the skin till I had an episode of rage. Breaking things, crying, cursing; the whole none yards. Once I was medicated on Olazapine and Lamictal that seemed to go away almost completely. When I miss medication it gets weird. I can feel the anger again but now it's even more intense than it was pre medication. It makes me so angry I start shaking sometimes and I'll snap at people all the time without anything really bad happening. I'll get so angry that I'll want to and will hurt myself. Realize this could be over getting the wrong order of good or someone bumping into me accidently. I was wondering if anyone knew a way to at least get back to a numb anger when I do slip up with my meds for a bit longer than I should (which is inevitable with me unfortunately)

I struggle with anger issues myself. I have a hard time getting myself to stop being angry.
I think something you should try to do to reduce your anger is: meditation, working out, listening to music, and watching TV/YouTube. These are the best tips that I can think of. |

Why is it inevitable for you to skip Meds? The obvious answer is to take your Meds on a regular basis. Being in a Chemical roller coaster can make your anger issues worse.

It seems like really trying hard to get your meds on a regular basis could be a benefit to you! I also wonder if journaling might help? Anger management can be really difficult to deal with!

I'm sorry to hear about your struggle with anger. I have felt its power.
This is when I slowly take a deep breath and exhale. Then "look" at the anger, see what drives it. In the split second before it ramped up, did I feel fear? Was I frustrated? Maybe I felt hurt. Helps me to understand where it comes from. Sometimes it's not obvious and I take time to think about it. |

I have been having major anger issues at work. I work hard, and most of it requires me to be in several locations at once. The problem is, I am alone. Other teams have multiple employees that do the same job as me, but my team is only me. The manager says that they don't have the budget for additional people, but my point is that other teams have plenty of people to fill the demand. My anger issues get the best of me, and I think they are not getting enough people, because they want me to just quit. I hate feeling this way, but I am not sure of a way out of it. I have tried so many times to manage my anger, and just do what I can, but I really lost my temper on Friday, and I am praying that it doesn't come to haunt me on Monday. Blessings to you. I pray you find peace.
