Wait wait. You kill people?!?! IF that is just a thought then you really need to cal down. If something or someone makes you ad then you just need to take a deep breath and realize you aren't going to please everyone.

Heh, I have similar anger issues. Sometimes it explodes right then and there but other times, if the person pisses me off or if I just feel like it or am in the mood, I don't explode at their face. You wait until their back is turned, then either strike or you go after their friends or others, slightly crush their world then you either keep it up or just crush them.

Usually, I get a feeling or have the voices or thoughts telling me step-by-step instructions, such as "break their arm, drag them over there, slit their throat", etc... . I sometimes punched walls until I messed my hand up and it took a while to heal.

My "coping strategy", whether it's good or not, is to imagine them being tortured, see their eyes fade as I look into them, or just go online and watch some aftermaths with humans dead, dying or severely injured, or killings. Then it makes you feel excited, then when you stop, it gets sucked back out of you. Either you keep it up to get your "high" feeling back or watch Family Guy, study or do whatever. Although I still find that I hold a grudge against them and if need be/want to, make their life a bit miserable because their pay-back is not yet complete.

No shortage of people with "Anger issues"!


Be careful not to use this bit of psychobabble as an excuse for continuing the behavior. Awareness means that you have a responsibility to change/control it, not continue it.

Often, a bit of self control and self discipline work wonders here. Be aware of the urges and the feelings, and regardless of the intensity, keep them to yourself. ffnd other outlets, either talking, or physical activity, or something else other than expressing *this* with your actions or bad words, etc.

If you cannot do this, then it's time to get to a doctor who specializes in these things. There, in therapy, you can learn ways of understanding where these urges and intense feelings come from, modulate them better, and find other ways of dealing with them.

But, try some self control first.

You're sorta confirming what I'm saying here. A 'Class' is only effective if it teaches you something you already didn't know. Try exercising self control, that means eventhough you WANT to punch something, you don't.

I do those things sometimes...rarely but they do happen...

I sympathize:(

I'm sorry you had a bad day, Dylan, and it certainly sounds like that other kid provoked you. Let me ask you something. The urge to throw the book, was it sorta instantaneous, or was there a brief moment when you thought about it? Could you have stopped yourself?

Dylan, the task then would be to make your reaction less instantaneous. try to recognize *that* feeling just before you blow, and use it as a cue to back away and exert some self control.

I know we aren't allowed to give a diagnosis, but if you go to a psychologist or psychiatrist or neuropsychologist, consider IED.

Thanks. Yesterday a kid tackled me and put me in a choke hold. The reason, a disagreement between me and another kid playing wall ball. He wanted to fight me after school, but I stayed in band class until my ride came.


At least you were able to avoid the fight, good for you, Dylan! You can go to the school authorities about this, you know, they can take care of the bullies.
