Rage!

So the past week I've been very irritable. Anything and everything seems to p*ss me off. Well, while in my room, I became upset about something that I heard and SLAMMED my laptop shut. When I turned it back on it made a scratching noise. I thought for sure that I broke it. After 20 minutes, it started fine again. I am very lucky. My rage almost cost me a lot of money. (Not the first time..I once broke my signal changer off the steering wheel by pressing too hard down, which was also done out of anger).

Usually when I'm this angry I just punch myself, or sometimes a wall. I feel like I'm having a nervous breakdown. At any rate, I need to cool it. I cannot afford to break anything!

Anyone else feeling rage?

no, i'm feeling some anxiety though, about all the stuff i have to do for my classes. having to read alot and study and other stuff. this semester is the most packed one yet. .___.

why don't you punch a pillow or your mattress instead of yourself or a wall? not much pain to you and you can punch them alot more.

what are you angry about?

I get that rage once in a while but it tends to go away by the next day. When it happens, every little thing other people say or do pisses me off. I don't know what is worse though, rage or complete apathy. I hope you feel calm again soon and your laptop makes a full recovery. And like Gummybear said use a pillow, or better yet, buy a punching bag.

My rage has cost me money also. I've destroyed a Samsung Blu-ray player, my keyboard, and a set of headphones withing the past two months.

I keep this link in my favorites list and whenever I get really irritable I go to it and hit the weights (whenever I have time).

This.

Not at the moment, but I've been there. Put my fist through the wall at a gym I used to go to. I bid a hasty retreat and never returned. Got fired from a job for not being able to control my rage. Tore apart one of my text books in college and just stopped attending the class. Been there many times.

About 2 hours ago, I felt a lot of rage. I let it out by talking to myself out loud. I really don't like it when people try to impose their views on me and make me do things their way. They think they know what's best for me. They may think they're "helping" me but actually, their "help" is unwanted because I never asked for it in the first place. Gosh, I just wish they could leave me alone. They're not even my friends.

Yeah!

This is very regular for me.

I try to hold back from hurting my machines. Head slap is commonplace.

In others' spastic driving style around roundabouts, I generally use indicators left / right in a mixture of expressing 'don't know... uhh...' I'd slap the wheel to use the horn, but I never have, because the sound is empty and meaningless. I like detail. I beep people in the street that I know, so they wave back, or when arriving or leaving someone's driveway, I beep as a greeting, and glad not to include any anger.

As I write, my first event of the day was an immediate cell fone call, with no ID. I know exactly what to expect. I often fly into a fury, and glad I never chuck the fone anywhere. The female voice asked what my name was and if I was jobsearching. I attempted to match her pronouncement to be friendly. After a string of "hello? hello? hello? hello? hello? hello? "I said "yeah. huh. uh. yep. Indeed. Yes. Yes." In response, I get an expressive way of her letting the handpiece fall, clattering onto the base, hearing 'clatter, clatter, click, click, bang.. whistle...'

Every phone call gets me into a miserable self-pitying whirl

Tantrum is at the root of my being.
I've learned that I've never been able to please anyone, from birth.
I think a proper, hanging fullsize punchbag would be my best vent. Such a shame that I have no chance to use one, and it'd be a public one in a gym

Just sometimes I scream at people and it goes badly. I can't avoid it happening. I use metaphors to explain scenarios to simple people and make them understand. This is eg. in a street and if a tree has fallen down - don't let it block your path. Walk around it or jump over.

Metaphors are the worst thing I do, to simplify complex things for simple people. This generates a lot of problems. It's just in my head that things are complex. I can't translate this to others. They see that any problem can be fixed by smiling and laughing. Everyone sees the world as perfect & so wonderful.

Yeah I know this. My room is full of broken and destroyed things because I often got careless or raged out of frustration of some sort.

Hmmm, no. I'm not easily angry, never angry for long, and never rage. It just doesn't fit to my personality, I guess.

When I didn't notice the ice under the snow this morning, which caused me to fall with my bike and get somewhat bruised, I checked if I broke anything, then fetched my smartphone for light and tried to fix the breaks of the bike that got damaged. I wasn't angry, just slightly annoyed that I will be a bit later, and wondering whether I could have avoided this by biking more slowly.

Have you tried an anger management course?

Me usually neither, but I often drink coffee (bad addiction) to get me starting doing work. It helps me focus. However, it also has the side effect of me becoming very irritable.

Like this morning I was on some website and was able to log in with my password, later I was logged out and typed exactly the same password and it didn't work for some mysterious reason. This made me curse like hell and slam a pillow. Everything I learned about meditation and controlling thoughts and emotions just goes straight out of the window and I act completely on impulse.

My mood is either: sluggish, slow, unfocussed or hyperfocussed, irritable, raging to the smallest things. I should probably give up on the caffeine and just exercise to start the day to get the blood flowing in my head, but it's hard when your day starts in slug-mode.

I end up grunting, swearing at myself even if I'm angry at myself or irritable or mad by others. I wish there was a punching bag in my room that I could hit...

hi everyone

its weird as I find myself snapping at people for really no reason at all .. when someone asked you to repeat something as they didn't catch it the 1st time it just comes out without my really truly understanding why I snap out with a louder stronger more angrier voice funny one

Much love
Ukmale
