When a person hurts me I get very angry. Sometimes it's hard to control.
I slam my fist into the wall and cursed very loudly. That's very male behavior according to society but who gives a s**t.
I purchased a punching bag and I beat it until my fists swell up. I get so frustrated because nobody seems to like me.
I try so hard to impress everyone and it drives me mad when nobody is impressed.
Hell, Nobody even knows that I exist despite how hard that I try.

I have tried to control my anger by running but it only helps temporarily.
I am going to anger and anxiety management in the near future.

I am angry and them my mood drastically changes to sadness and then happiness.
I get confused when I feel so many strong feelings in a short period of time.

Can depression and PTSD make you feel insane and angry?

Yes, I have ptsd and I frequently find myself angry. I always take it out on myself or the wall, but its really hard to tell people why i am so angry. No one gets what I am going through, or why I am so angry. I have a lot of resentment built up. This is because I could never express my anger, so it has built up my whole life.

I have PTSD-like symptoms, but I'm not sure if they're real PTSD; it comes from when someone tried to kill me. I get very angry sometimes, too--once, I accidentally kicked a hole in the wall, but that was before the person tried to kill me, so I don't think it's that.

On a side note, who knew walls were so thin? :lol:

Most of the anger is at myself. When I was beaten at school I blamed myself for it.
I haven't spoken of it to anyone for years until recently.
People think that I am crazy and emotionally unstable. When somebody hurts me now I get so offensive and angry especially when it is a teenager. I blame myself but don't understand why it had to happen to me.

It's unfair and I cry and then become angry and hurt myself and the wall.
I may get banned from this forum pretty soon because I can't control my emotions.

I am s**t and really want wish that I wasn't. I used to have daydreams about bringing a gun to school and shooting all of them but I was never serious.

The athletes used to beat my back until it was bruised and no teachers would listen to me. They didn't believe me and it has destroyed my life. After they beat me they would laugh at my pain and misery.

Yes, depression and PTSD can make you angry; so can having been abused. Anxiety and anger management therapy may be helpful. Don't blame yourself for the behavior of others.

Yes. I have had a lot of bad encounters with athletes. That's the worst, which I'm sure you know. no one cares about their victims unless you have a ton of money and power to do something about it.

Hey artrat:

Depression and PTSD can make life very difficult.

If you need someone to talk to feel free to PM me.

Good luck.

I hate to push medication for others, but if I'm ever going to recommend it to anyone, it would be mood-stabilizers. I used to punch walls until my knuckles bled and destroyed a lot of my things, during some pretty over the top rage attacks when I was younger. And the anger is usually out of proportion to the moment, but sometimes life has been hard- I know. I can relate to your desperate fury, but you might benefit from something to take the edge off just a little.

I'm close with someone who has anger issues that are very difficult to control, but he does. It's very difficult for me, but I think that in many ways it's worse for him, because he's the person actually experiencing and projecting that anger, without being able to stop it. I hate dealing with it and feeling powerless to do anything about it, but experiencing those feelings coming from within myself would be much worse.

I can relate. I've put holes in walls, broken doors, and even physically attacked family members. I don't think I've ever truly had the intention of seriously injuring anyone but it's just awful. With me it tends to just build up for hours or even a day after something triggers me and I can't get it off my mind. It's usually not just anger but a mix of painful emotions. It's dangerous though as in the worst case scenario someone could call the cops and have you arrested. I carry a fast-dissolving tranquilizer for emergencies but I hate taking it as I tend to feel tired and sh***y from it for an entire 24 hours after taking it. For the past few months I've been taking a stimulant on top of my normal antidepressants and that seems to be helping some. I haven't had a real rage episode for several months now at least.

I've only ever broke a controller due to rage.

Otherwise, I get angry in my head and mumble to myself...it's not craziness, it's me being ticked off!

I dunno why I do it, but I guess I have learned controlled not to express my anger at people...even one of my band friends got so pissed off at me for not expressing myself as I was so used to not showing my anger or depression.
