Rage/anger issues - General Health Message Board

Wolfget · 07-09-2008, 04:23 PM

Im 16 years of age.

And i bet your thinking 'Oh no another stroppy teenager' but the thing is, i think i have a real issue with my anger... when i get angry i tend to rampage out of control and shout and just the other day i trashed my bedroom and punched a wall which cut all of my right hand knuckles open.

Ive had anger management on more than one occasion, i used to have it twice a week for 3 hours at a time

(Ive done more sessions in diffrent places but i cant remember dates etc as it was a long time ago)

Some people think i have rage issues because i have had a rough upbringing and they think it may effect me.

Deep breathing, drinking water etc does not work for me, deep breathing tends to get me more worked up

is it worth going to see a Doctor or something?

Thank you for the help in advance.

You may be able to control your moods with medication. Worth a shot, at least.

I don't have issue with anger (towards others at least...) but I have bad mood swings due to my bipolar disorder...I really found Trileptal very helpful. But I had to go off it b/c it interfers with my birth control. (you won't have that issue though LOL) I'm on Neurontin now but it makes me REALLY dizzy...works for my moods though.
