It’s getting absurd. I very nearly punched a concrete wall when I couldn’t find baby wipes. How am I going to go to work like this? Why am I so angry? I am not having PTSD flashbacks. I cut back my coffee. I am eating consistently. I am sleeping well (with melatonin). Can my klonopin help with the anger? I don’t like taking it, so, haven’t tried and I read it can make anger worse! I’m at a bad point. Going back to old habits, I have the desire to cut myself to bring everything back on an even keel. I just don’t know what to do. I have to wait to see the pdoc, and the therapist says to just breath… I am breathing damn it!
This is what it is like.

Hmm you are keeping your pdoc informed aren’t you? Might just be withdrawals that might go soon, but things are starting to get a little too serious to ignore.

I called 4 times today, but, his secretaries are horrible, so, who knows if he got the memo.
Hopefully he calls first thing tomorrow for you. As would be late for you. I think. Hopefully the symptom subside quickly too.
Wondering if right now isn’t a good time for you to take up running. Might burn off that anger.

If you are fit. Maybe push the run to total exhaustion. Only if you are fit though.

You are trying to stop drinking right? this is par for the course…just practice focus on something perhaps like a rock you can hold in your hand…? Pull your mind away by distraction from the anger if you can.
No, I am not trying to quit drinking, I never really let myself start. I realized the issue and quit before it really got going. I really don’t think that is it. I just googled latuda withdrawal, and that seems more likely, but, regardless, I have to calm down!

I actually can’t watch videos. I have limited data.
It should settle you down.

I was thinking… and this is just my Odd pondering…
sometimes my anger grows from the seed of fear or anxiety.
For you… the new job starting… raising two young children… trying to keep the house in order and trying to help your husband… you have a lot on your plate.
I find my anger creeps when I’m scared of loosing that fine balance that I feel keeps me level.
I have to usually spend some time decompressing … getting away for an hour or two here and there to sit… meditate… go for a walk.
That’s just me.
Again… good luck with everything, and I hope you feel better soon.

Sounds familiar, really does.
I think the ones of us with the anger are not necessarily maladaptive, we often function very highly.
I’m pissed as ■■■■ right now. I’m listening to Slipknot to help. I drank two beers while out with friends last night and I woke up pissed off and psychotic at 5am. Well now it’s almost 9 and my morning meds have been taken. This is Halloween! Our man Jack is king of the pumpkin patch!
It’s ■■■■■■ up how I take solace in likening being psychotic to being in a Tim Burton movie. Oh well.
Oh yeah, all drugs have the opposite effect when they leave your system, so stopping a benzo or major tranquilizer is not a fun time unless you need to be psychotic and angry, but we’re not living in clans or tribes or in feudal Japan or some ■■■■ so we should take the meds and not be potentially disastrous.
I wish I didn’t have class today, I feel like a steaming piece of an angry bull’s ■■■■.
