Extreme Rage/Anger

[[...]]

I have this constant rage or anger where I just want to start screaming or punching walls. It lasts almost all day.  I have zero patience with anything/anyone. Can anyone relate/validate this for me? When did it subside for you? I have a 2 year old daughter and I get so frustrated way to easily.

 

I need reassurance

I've been having this on and off during my taper.  It is very hard to not actually get very angry at something for me.  I think the longest it lasted was two weeks but it seems to keep coming and going for me.

You're not alone. Personally it feels like the fight/flight response being stuck in overdrive. When I'm not afraid of everything (flight) I'm really angry (fight). It's not rational. It's just part of the damage done to our brains. I have had windows so know it will get better eventually. I'm in a wave now and the rage is over the top.

I get really impatient with my son, which is awful cuz he's only (almost) 4.. he deserves better.. but he does things that just send my senses into overdrive.  If I'm taking a break and my mom is watching him, if she turns around for even a second, he is running down the hall to our room.  If I lock the door, he pounds on it and kicks it. 

 

I find myself snapping at him and feel like a monster.. it's awful.

 

I also fight with my dad a lot, which sucks because it just gets my anxiety and heart rate up and I'm pretty sure he just enjoys it.. I try to be understanding (I can't walk in his shoes, he can't walk in mine, so neither of us should be making assumptions/judgements) but I remember how he was when we were kids... he drank a lot, yelled a lot, called my mom the "n" word (we're white), threw plates at her, dragged me by my hair, pummeled me with his fists a few times, pretended to hug me then switched to hurting me.. Anyways, it's hard when he's around.  He's mellowed a lot towards my mom over the years, but he's basically switched on to me.  BUT he has kept a roof over my head, cooked for me, and it's not like he was abusive daily.  I just hate it when he tells me I'm a bad mom in front of my son.. I feel it enough already, and he's a hypocrite.  He never admits when he's wrong- I always do.  I always feel wrong.

 

Anyways I think I got off topic... but point was I can totally admit to the anger, and DEF the lack of patience.

 

Wishing you a speedy recovery,

I almost never struggled with rage, until now. A rage attack is like a panic attack bit with a different switch turned on. I had a rage attack at church on Sunday of all places. The message was too long, the music too loud. I ended up snapping at my wife and really hurt her feelings. I think it's important to remember we're not angry people, and are trying to do lif, relationships l, etc, with a fight/flight on overdrive. I think the rage eventually clicks off, like the panic. Mindfulness helps some. I try to ride it out, don't always succeed. You're not alone!

I have a 2 year old little girl and feel the same.  I have zero patience with her, and it's not fair to her.  I used to be so calm.

I'm sorry you're having a tough time at home.  I hope you have a window soon.

I practice some simple yoga stretches and it keeps me calm a little for the day you should give it a try there's plenty of videos on YouTube.

I sure can feel the same. And this terror and fear. I am afraid of myself. That I will punch someone or get crazy

This is so true.  The anger/rage I have been experiencing is really like a panic attack.  It is so weird.  I think I like it better than panic?  I say this reluctantly because rage isn't great either, but it sure makes it easier to keep going on and doing things when stuff is all other peoples faults as opposed to mine own.
