Do you get so angry that you can hardly breathe and you can't stop shaking? It's like this powerful force that comes over me, destroys everything in its path and leaves...like a tornado.

Yeah I have felt like that many times, but not recently. Only when I was 13 - 16 I'd say. But I know how it feels, it's like there's a red haze over my eyes and I want to smash things and just fling myself against the wall and do something drastic and my head is pounding and I can't stop shaking with fury. But I never get angry for no reason, it seemed to happen when I'm in a bad mood and people won't leave me alone. like they keep joking about how sensitive I am and they don't respect my privacy and barge into my room. My mom did that a few times, barge into my room, I was in a very bad mood and I said "please leave" she started a lecture about how this isn't my house and she as a parent has a right to come into my room and check up on me, blah blah, I only heard half of what she said, it made me so angry. I said again "Leave" trying to control myself, I think she saw how angry I was, so she said "if you ask nicely i'll leave" well that might have worked some other time but this made me so mad, it made me explode I was so furious at her I wanted to kill her, I started screaming, get out get out, like a crazy person, and I jsut pushed her out by force... then I was stressed for the rest of the day. Actually these anger outbursts are the primary reason I started to cut, cuz cutting always calmed me down instantly and cleared the fury.

Well I guess I went off topic but yeah, I have felt the anger.

I get like this a little,
and it takes sooo much not to throw things.
Sometimes, even when I'm not angry, I just get a really strong urge to throw something.

i do get angry at times, for something that need not to get angry. and when i do, i will shout at everybody who happens to look at me at that time.

for instance, yesterday, i went to a restaurant to have dinner with my son. finishing his dinner, he wanted to go to washroom. he went behind a old man chair, who was having his dinner and said "excuse me" expecting the old man give him way, instead of taking the other way which slighty far compared to the short cut behing the old man. the old man said why don't u take the other way, instead of disturbing me eating? i got angry with my son and asked him to take the other way. despite having myself to have given instruction to my son, the old man keep on mumbling and telling his friends that my son disturb him. i stood up and shouted at the old man. then the whole restaurant looked at me and i started shouting at everybody and start banging chairs to tables and other stuffs. i was completely crazy.

today i went back to the same restaurant and got few ladies staring at me. i stared at them back and they pretended not to have stared me. i hate people staring at me. but it is unfortunately norm for asian to stare...oppss..off-topic, i guess..

My anger has ruwined my life, i lost my daughter because of it and now i'm even more sad. It's like I start b----ing and then no one is listening or something and I just start hyperventalating and having panic attacks and then I get so tense I need to punch something and I cry and shake. I just can't clam down no matter how hard I try and I want help so badly cause I hate living like this, Its not only ruwined my life its ruwining my families. I feel like such a horrible young mom and maybe I wouldnt be a young mom if I dunno I was thinking with my head.

When I was about twelve I started having these fits of rage. I was really shy and a bookworm. Didn't trust people and had low self-esteem (abusive bio parents, and foster care)so other kids would pick on me. I finally flipped out one day and it didn't stop until I was in my twenties. I would get that same rage that others are talking about (the red haze, tunnel vision, shaking) and would freak out and attack people, swearing and not remembering a thing of what happened or what I said. I would also have less extreme versions of this with slamming doors, screaming and innappropriate anger and impatience. I remember not being able to get my hair to look right and slamming myself in the head over and over with my hairbrush and screaming and crying. I never cut myself (a few times when I was drunk) but I would often punch myself or slam my head into walls.

I am afraid of losing my daughter now. What I mean by that is I am afraid that I will emotionally harm her, especially if she imitates my behavior. I don't want her to be around me if I'm like this, but her father is screwed up too. My daughter is three and I haven't physically abused her but it's like I'm afraid of loving her too much. I get emotionally distant and I also get irritable and impatient all the time. Her father(who is narcissistic personality) is always trying to get full custody, and once that started I noticed I started acting up again. It's like I'm pushing my daughter away because I'm afraid of losing her. I need some help ASAP. I can't control how I feel. Thank God I never get those major rages anymore.
