What is going on here??

[Patch]

I wouldn't say I'm the happiest person on earth, but I'm not normally in a bad mood. Sometimes though; and happening more and more lately, I will just have these "spells" where I want to scream at everyone I see and punch anything within reach. I actually have some nice scars on my knuckles to show for that, after a run in with a concrete wall. These spells don't last long, maybe about 15 minutes to half an hour, but I can feel myself building up to them beforehand, and afterwards I'm usually calm.

While one is going on, I can feel a sort of rage inside me, and it's like I'm screaming inside of my head. I'll alternate between crying and being furious at everything. Once it happened while I was sitting curled up in my favorite squishy chair, and I couldn't even stand up. I just laid there shaking and punching the arms of the chair as hard as I could. Starting not too long ago I will cut myself a lot during one of these. I can't think or speak clearly either. It's actually a very scary experience when it does happen.

What it's triggered by varies, sometimes it takes a lot, other days it happens and I don't even know why. I just want to know if anyone else experiences this, and if it's something I should be worried about? Does anyone know what this would be called, if there's even a technical term for it? Thank you

I get like this sometimes when I pms. All of a sudden i feel really angry and, like you said, punch everything around me. That being said, you should still try to talk to someone (like your mom, therapist,doctor, etc). It prob isnt good to have these bouts of anger, ecspecially if you might either hurt yourself or someone else. Try doing something else to let go of your anger, like venting or yelling into a pillow or whatever.
<3 best of luck. pm me if you ever need to talk..

I don't know much about pms, but Yeah you probably should go to a doctor and talk about that.
