Uncontrollable anger

It's funny the things that trigger our emotions. This morning I was waiting for an FBT and had been waiting nearly an hour when in walked 2 people who were bumped up the queue and I was told I had to go to another clinic because they were priority. I had already been fasting since early last night and had a terrible headache and also had another appointment I needed to be at. I was so full of rage at this point that I nearly knocked over the apologetic phlebotomist and stormed out of the clinic, stomped over to my car and drove off like a maniac. Don't know how I didn't crash my car but I was thrashing my fists against the steering wheel screaming and generally acting like a crazy person. I even starting pulling my hair out which I've never done before. I am so ashamed of myself for reacting like this. Just made me realize how bad my anger issues are and that I really need to do something about it. It's been brought up with different therapists but never really got to the core or worked out strategies that are helpful. Or perhaps I just wasn't willing to take on all the advice. I tend to forget things a lot and I'm often spaced out and too exhausted to think. I also find it difficult to talk about stuff in person and seem to be better writing stuff down. I even tried online counseling in the hope this would resolve my face to face shyness but he kept asking me the same questions and it felt like a waste of time and money. I've tried mindfulness but I don't seem to be able to channel my anger in the split moment it grips me. I know I need help. I'm so upset right now I'm a total mess. Having no friends or social support doesn't help either. I hate who I am right now.

The local gym is a good idea because you will most likely find people that live near you and you will grab more attention to yourself once you reach personal goals
And from the exercise you will find yourself in a trance where you cant be bothered to be angry cause you have no energy

It feels like you are mainly blaming your brain for this outburst - but there were more factors at play.
1. you were fasting. Blood sugar drops and all the other biochemical things that happen without sustenance contribute to mood fluctuations.
2. You were under pressure. Another appointment to get to.
3. You were in a social situation that appears to cause you some distress - add this to fasting and what can we expect in this situation?
I could go on but post limited.
Please realise, That you are feeling guilty and are seeking help to rectify this is a very good thing - give yourself a pat on the back, forgive yourself for the outburst and work towards a better time next time.
Some tips - go on opening first thing or go on a day that is known to be quiet. You can modify your actions until your body is able to cope with the stress of these situations and that does not only mean in your mind.

Hi All,
Anger, frustration, panic attacks and so on can come upon us rather quickly and unexpectedly.
I know I am not good at waiting for my Dr appointments. Sometimes I take my own book along or delete a hundred messages from my phone. At one stage the people in the medical centre removed all of the magazines, something to do with hygiene they said. After a lot of people started climbing the walls, they brought the magazines back again. Ha. Ha.
It is good when having to go somewhere if you can time it for a less busy time, but that is not always easy.
When I start to feel any of the above emotions and experiences, I try to calm myself down with deep breathes and by reminding myself everything will be okay. I just have to be patient.
Not always easy! Ha. Ha. I have blown up a few times at other people. I'm not at all proud of it! I find it very humbling to apologise after!
Hope we can all find strategies that will work for us!
Cheers all from Mrs. Dools

Hi MRS Doors, I feel the same and have the same reactions, this morning I could not find a remote control to the TV and lost it i tore my lounge room apart trying to find it and I could feel myself tension heating up getting angry and my hands I tighten and I just wanted to scream, it may sound stupid and out of control but I dand not ont, I started crying cause I just couldn't handle it. I can't go into hospital cause I have a 10yr old son who doesn't like being with his father as we have split up so I'm left with no choice but to stop, I have to take a lot of tablets to calm down, I also have to find another rental house before the 2nd January when the lease runs out , I have had about 8 inspections and not gone any so I'm stressed over that, I am so tired of it all forgetting where I put things and tear th house upside down trying to find it. I have no family here or friends so no one to talk to or help, don't know how much more I can take.
