does anyone here know anything about 'Rage'?

[LeeJunFan]

Recently I have been getting pissed at stupid things and I think I may have a problem, I play squash and in the last 6 months I have got through about 10 rackets and tonight I smashed my pool cue just becuase the cue ball went 'in off', I know the simple thing to do is to just control my temper but I don't think I can, is there anything that you can get prescribed that will calm me down or chill me out, it's starting to affect my personal life aswell now!?!
Any thoughts are very welcome!

harness it. it is a gift. learn to control it when you have to, and unleash it when you need to.

that's what I do.

I get that way....I don't know how to get rid of it. For me, it's mood based. If I'm in a pissy mood, shit gets broken (and I bitch for a month at myself for being an ass for breaking it!!), if I'm in a good mood, most things bounce off me.

I've dealt with it in the past. In highschool I played tennis and I'd break maybe 5 rackets a season just from getting pissed off at stupid things. Rather than taking pills, you just need to learn to control it. I'm a lot better now but I still tend to be a bit quick-tempered.

You play squash, you are probably quick then.
You lift, you are probably strong then.
AND you get piss easy, you are probably dangerous then.

Best thing to do, punch your balls instead, you'll do it once and never again !!

(tea, meditation, weed, diazepam .. to mention some, I don't recommend the last two).

I have learned to control it due to the fact that I have seen firsthand what it can do to a person and those around him (my father). You just have to grow up (not that you ever outgrow these things). By grow up, I mean realize the destructive force that a temper can be to those around you, those that you care about and love.

Exactly. I`ve seen it happen to people as well. It`s not pretty. You`re lucky you know that it`s happening to you. Some people don`t take responsiblity enough to say they need help. Good luck

It does`nt happen to me but maybe this will put things in perspective. Can you remember an incident 3 or 4 months ago that made you angry? Is that incident important now? How about 6 months ago? A year? 2 years? If they don`t mean anything to you now, then they probably were`nt worth getting crazy over back then either.

Think of the signifigance of things and put things with a priority type attitude. Life`s too short bro.

thanx for the replies, I used to smoke a lot of dope but then quit, to be completely honest it has gotten a lot worse since starting Accutane, I mean I had a temper before but now it's real bad, I suppose I'll just have to try and control, I just don't wanna do something that I regret (and it's inevitable that I will unless I calm down!)!

Relax bro. Maybe it will make you feel better by knowing we all get like that to some degree, but we HAVE TO learn and control it. We all deal with the same thing, it`s not just you.

Knowing others are in the same boat should help things out, you just gotta let things slide a little more. Big picture bro. Big picture, don`t sweat the small stuff.

a good ass kicking might do the trick.

in the movie "28 days later" rage was a disease that effected the central nervous system of humans...it turned them into zombies within minutes of infection...like rabid dogs...
