What Can I do about Benzo Rage?

What can I do about rage? I feel it the moment I wake up. I don't want to get out of bed and face the day. I feel it toward anybody that I am around and it just so happens that ends up being my wife and daughter. I'm so tired of feeling like this.

Anybody dealing with rage on a day to day?

Well, I was, and I can safely say now, I am not anymore.  You are probably sick of hearing from me now Boomboxboy.  LOL.  It was a problem for me for about two years.  I honestly can't say if it was just time or me changing how I thought and approached it, or a combination of both.  I definitely sympathize with you.  Distraction is key.  I played a lot of video games and just tried to not react to the things that pissed me off.

Thanks, Greencup. You have been super supportive of this symptom I've been dealing with. I just feel an internal rage that burns on the inside. I never show it though. I'm glad it's gotten so much better for you.

I had this a few times throughout this process. A few weeks ago I got into a road rage confrontation with another driver where I (shamefully) rolled down my window and started yelling and cursing at this older woman. Right after it happened I sat in my car thing “who the hell are you?”. It was so unlike me, so out of the blue and I was so shocked and  ashamed of my behavior. It was like someone else took me over for a second! I owe that poor woman an apology. I would never speak to an elder that way in my normal state, , I feel terrible about it! I’m so sorry I don’t really have any advice, it only happened to me a few times (I’m usually more of an internalizer than anything), but know you’re not alone. It definitely happened to me a few times and it’s quite unsettling. I’m sorry you’re feeling that way.
