I'll start out by saying that I am a Taurus, of April the 27th, for those of you who follow by the book "The Secret Language of Birthdays".

I am a normal 16 year old, aside from having ADHD, which I've mostly overcome. I'm not taking medication, I can focus on what I need to and what I want to, and I'm in the last stages of mental maturity as far as brain development goes.

I have an exceptionally long 'fuse'. It takes quite a lot to piss me off. I have a natural ability to be conscious of my mental state, be aware of what's causing any particular emotion, and logically analyze it. I know when to quit with something if it's frustrating me. When I reach the end of that 'fuse', however, I tend to turn into Godzilla. Whereas some people may have a two inch-long fuse that leads to a wet firecracker, a temper tantrum that leads them to be pout-y for a couple minutes, I have a 2 mile fuse leading to an atomic bomb.
When I 'snap' my body gains an involuntary spasmodic effect. I will rage and fume, my mind will be incapable of linear thought, leaving only the pure will and determination to be destructive and vengeful. My muscles will be incapable of calm and stillness, leaving only the urge and need to move and flex and be.... muscle-y. Combine the two and you get a person hellbent on breaking anything and everything close to them.

I've gotten actually pissed about 3 times in my life, and each one of them left me with fewer physical possessions. A few examples: The first time I got pissed [age 12] I snapped my Gameboy SP in half, and then chucked a skateboard at a car; the second time [age 14], I shoved a kid down a moderately steep hill, aiming him for a tree. My aim was true, and he rolled, bounced once, and then hit the tree with his side, breaking a rib and dislocating his shoulder; third time [age 16, last year], I threw my T.V. across my room, threw it out an empty window from the second floor, and then went downstairs and ripped what was left of it apart with my bare hands.

When I start breaking something, I don't have clear enough thought to pick up a baseball bat, or to jump on something. I simply have to use my muscles to their utmost ability, and I need to use them on something. Essentially: Pure Rage.

I would like any and all tips on how to prevent myself from breaking anything else precious to me. I've already lost a couple game consoles, I'd prefer to keep what I have left.

While reading your post, I was reminded extremely of myself. Like you, I have a very long fuse and am for the most part able to control myself when faced with potentially troublesome situations. And, like you, I tend to fly off the chain when that fuse runs out, breaking basically anything in my path. In my experience, you just have to anticipate how close you are to freaking out and avoiding/leaving the situation. Sometimes, I can control my freakouts, but truthfully, people like us who save it all up sometimes just have to let go in a controlled environment.

I have a 30 mm fuse and it is very hard to light bit when its lit all hell breaks loose although the bomb that sets off does no friendly fire but.... As for you it sounds like you get mad at home only so what ever gets you mad won't follow you unlike at school so when you feel that fuse light walk away

If your school has councellor, go see that person, I have Anger Management issues and am seeing two councelors so that might help. Also try meditation, it helps me. :)

This might be a little more than just an anger thing. There's a condition (I forget what it's called) where, completely out of the blue, your adrenaline gland just starts pumping you full of adrenaline. No reason, no real purpose, it doesn't even have to be a reaction to something. This causes you to just lose it. The fact that you mentioned an overwhelming desire to use your muscles combined with your usually calm demeanour and randomness of these episodes made me think of this. I'm not saying that this is deffinitely the case, but it's something to look into.
