Why do I get raging angry over little things?

[Liz]

Most of the time I can control having an outburst, but the feeling is so strong. When things either change a little, don't go my way, or something makes me mad I get a tightness in my throat, my heart starts beating fast, I start to sweat and I get the urge to punch or scream at someone. They are things that wouldn't even bother a normal person because they are so ridiculous.

Like today I was watching a movie at my mother-in-laws and it was half way through and my nieces and nephew came over and they were loud. I couldn't hear the movie. I wanted to scream at everyone to shut up, but i realize it was stupid of me to be that angry so i didn't say anything, but it just stressed me out....that can't be good on me either.



I just don't get it! I need help. Please.

Info on me: I am 22 with 2 little boys(3 and 6 months) and been the same man for almost 5 years and married to him for 2 of them.

Have always had this problem but it has gotten worse over the years. When i was younger I would cry more than get angry, now I get angry more than I cry.

r u bipolar?

You might be a sociopath. Try fitting in with other humans by politely asking people to be quiet. If that fails, you should probably look into becoming a serial killer.

Your not alone, maybe you just need someone to talk to about your anger issues.

[janie26]

maybe you are uptight and havent found a way to unwind in a while~
or stressed out that tends to keep people on edge--
maybe you just need to find some good ways of relaxing
-breathing--eating well --getting exercise--drinking enough water
getting enough rest--maybe doing some of these things you'll be able
ease the tension and not get so upset about small stuff

talking more realistically.

Id say there is nothing wrong with you. Mood swings are absolutely normal. If they weren't doctors would say everyone in the world was bipolar, schizophrenic, borderline personality disorder, kleptomania, anti social personality disorder. you name it! But even I thought the same thing as you at one time. I thought I had a problem, I went to the doctor and he told me that im just having normal mood swings. The normal ones are caused by hormones, stress and all the basics. You say your heart beats faster when you feel... any of angry, scared, threatened, nervous, worried... and it goes on to say that this is called "anxiety".. and everyone has these.. so you shouldn't worry at all. Sometimes when I have anxiety's I feel as if I can't control what I say to people or what comes out of my mouth. Sometimes its all random just to relieve stress. Its not that theres something wrong with you. Its just that... everyone has these.

Hi Liz I don't know how old you are but it could be hormonal changes in your body, this was happening to me and my doctor prescribe some medication to help and they wore not hormones. Talk to your doctor he should be able to help you.

Good Luck

It is probably a chemical imbalance.
Go to the doctor don't put your self and your family through this specially your little ones.

Sound like Bipolar with rage. Go talk to therapist and anger management doctor. I know from experience. I've dealt with bipolar since I was 12 years old and I'm now going on 25. My bipolar with rage was extremely bad where I would blackout and not remember doing really, really bad things. Finally my husband, told me enough is enough things needed to change and I needed help. I got help. Took 2 1/2 years of counseling and medication, but it was worth it. Anger management isn't what I thought it was going to be. My doctor was more concerned about making me "assertive" instead "aggressive. Which is exactly how you sound. You remind me of how I was. There's a book I read during my counseling period (and I still read it time to time now) called "Asserting Yourself". I really recommend it.
