Constantly angry, can't sleep

Question

Lately I have been just permanently furious and can't shake it. When I am around other people I usually settle down and can be quite friendly(unless they annoy me) but most of the time I am just wishing someone would give me an excuse to ******* beat the **** out of them.

I never used to be like this, and I don't have an anger management issue as I have been able to hold my rage in so far but I know that can't last forever. I am worried I am going to snap and hurt someone or end up in prison. I've tried talking to people but nobody gets it, I get like a pat on the shoulder and a "you'll be okay" but unless I can get rid of this mood I know something bad is going to happen.

Most nights I fall asleep for like two hours, then wake up and am so pissed off I can't sleep for the rest of the night and end up lifting weights all night just to try to burn up my energy but it never works. As a result I am also becoming exhausted and my concentration in other areas is suffering.

What the h**l can I do?

Answer 1

Okay, listen to me.

You could be in a state of mania- BUT NOT THE HIGH/HAPPY as h**l one!

I used to get mean, and agry as all h**l. Not eveyone gets the happy high. We get the angry, mean stuff.

If you do not have a therapist, get one soon. You could be bi polar.

There are medications to lift your anger.

Answer 2

I used to have fits of rage, mentally and physically hurting the people that I love.  I have come to find out that I am bipolar and that the fits of rage were bad manic  episodes.

I am not  trying to say that the same is true for you.  But get it check out by a qualified mental health professional.  I didn't for many years and ended up missing out on a lot of happiness and having bad relationships.

You are right in worrying about legal problems.  I was lucky.  But then years ago, violent behavior was passed off as having just a temper.  Nowadays, people are more aware of problems and are more likely to report incidents to the authorities.

God bless.  Go with the grace of God.

Answer 3

Well, you have a sort of symbiotic relationship here. The lack of sleep leads to the anger/leads to the lack of sleep etc etc etc.

The thing you need to find is why you're so angry lately.

Has something happened?

That's what you need to sort out.
