My mental health

Lately, everyone has been telling me Ive been changing. I didnt think I was, or even notice it until yesterday.

I just cant seem to shake the senseless anger I feel. Lately, I feel as if Im just kind of losing focus.

I cant shake the feeling that if I stab or poke or cut myself with anything, it will make the pain go away.

Ive been lashing out at everyone -- friends, family, even people I dont know. Hell, yesterday, I threw an assload of change at a truck, a lighter, and an orange, just because the lady cut me off and almost hit me. Then, the same day, I get in a fight with one of my best friends. Not an argument mind you, but an actual FIGHT.

I dont know whats happening, but I dont want to deal with this shit anymore.

I was and maybe still am an angree person.... getting older though, learning to deal with it, driving on the roads brings out the worst in alot of peops, but I will not let any a-h drivers ruin my days, when you go out expect the worst and accept it and stay calm, you'll probably end up in trouble and the others will be let go, How old are you?.... get a physical,
get the old blood pressure checked, don't wait for something to push you over the edge, to many good things in life to walk around agree over,

Nah man, its not just driving on roads. I can sit and have a nice conversation with you one minute, the next minute Im ready to put my fist through your face. Im tired of acting like this, but I have no insurance, not enough money to go to a doctor. This is going to be the end of me, I can feel it.

Maybe its time to lay off the reefer. Also try meditating. If you do it right it is very effective at clearing the mind and finding a balance in yourself.

Fuck man. Im hiding in my room right now from my friend, cause I know if we come face to face Ima punch that bitch OUT!

It sucks living in the same house with someone you just got in a serious fight with.

Yea man I was in the same way, you definately need to do something to change your situation, if nothing else take some time yourself go for a long walk at a fast pace get the heart pumpin, if your physically fit already, go for a jog, clear your head, change up your diet, junk food makes anxiety worse,
find someone to talk, do some research on depression or anxiety on the net and find something that will help, there is alot of good info out there,
putting my fist through people was my favorite way for a long time, but it makes things worse

Good advice from Angee Pirate ^^^
Keep it in perspective man.
Love.
One thing that has helped me out with focus and overall well-being has been changing my diet, excercising, meditation (spiritual association), supplements like fish oil to help with my focus, and so many other things.

Take care and hang in there...sometimes it's hard to see the horizon beyond the storm.

I've been feeling the same way myself too, but I'm also having some money problems so that is my only suggestion that maybe one cause. Most likely it is a number of causes, do you smoke? Shit I was hoping to start smoking soon to help with my anger issues, but if that doesn't help I might end up down the same road.

One thing I do know that really calms me down, something I haven't done in quite some time now that I think about it, is to simply drive around with nothing to do other than enjoy the scenery. It's best to get out of the city, on scenic roads. I live close to some mountains so sometimes I will just drive through the mountain pass with no music other than the natural sound with the windows down.

It can be very relaxing, you just need to set some time aside for that. At least that works for me, but if not for you just try to find something you can do without trying to hurry at it and just simply relax.

If that still doesn't work, maybe we can meet up and beat the shit out of eachother so we can each let off some steam lol

If you are having these feelings is there another underlying problem that may be causing all of this? divorce,extra stress, health, etc. I am the same way but I suffer from PTSD and severe anger with homicidal tendencies. I ended up being prescribed Zoloft, but me and that shit didnt get along. Maybe you need to see someone professionally, I am no expert but it almost sounds like bi-polar disorder. Again maybe you need pro help..look at it this way at least you are smart enough to recognize that there is a problem.

A good idea for anger management is to smash ice cubes. Ive tried it, it really does work because watching the cubes smash against a wall is destructive. I HIGHLY reccomend it to anyone who gets pissed off at times.
