– I don’t want to be a raging lunatic on the phone like I was on a call to my bank! I just lost it. I had one of those days where my physical reaction to things was way off. I can tell when it’s meds. It’s different from being angry- this is out of control I want to thrown my phone through the widow anger.\u00a0 I made sure I didn’t take it out on others too badly- I have learned to control myself. But it’s hard.<\/p>\n
There are so many meds that can cause this kind of anger and aggression.\u00a0 You know it’s the illness or the meds when it literally comes out of nowhere- it’s not a normal part of your personality- you watch yourself and think what in the heck is going on with me- and your behaviors are odd such as cussing as loudly as possible for longer than normal!<\/p>\n
\u00a0I woke up fine today.\u00a0 This kind of aggression gets people in jail. I’ve seen it too many times.<\/p>\n
It’s important to learn the first signs that you’re getting in a rage and then remove yourself from the situation even if for a few minutes. This has to be done right at the beginning, but you can often realize what is going on in the middle of a rage. This is when you stop- apologize to whomever you yelled at – and focus on managing the illness.<\/p>\n
Is is your meds? Is it a relationship? Lack of sleep? Etc.<\/p>\n
This is how I keep from throwing a phone through my window even though it seemed like it would make feel better at the time.<\/p>\n

PS: Antidepressants are notorious for causing irritation and anger- if you just started a med and you are suddenly more angry than normal- talk with your HCP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
