I've been angry a lot lately. I want to break things, and I don't know why. Nothing in my life has caused this, and I'm scared I might hurt myself. This is severely out of character for me cause I am a very calm and peaceful person, and I'm a girl. Can someone one please give me some info on whats wrong with me? Thanks.

How old are you? If I recall right, you are a teenager.

One of the things that teenagers experience is changes in hormone levels through their maturation process. All these crazy mixed up hormones cause your emotional state to fluctuate and behave erratically. Part of the problem is you haven't learned anger management and self-control on the same level as the emotional mix-ups you feel.

Have you considered anger management classes? It might help you know how to resolve these feelings.

Good luck to you.

Normal? Absolutely, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't do anything about it. Talk about it with people, whether professionals, friends, or family. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, a hobby to channel your emotions into, meditation, and making sure you get enough sleep can all help keep your hormones balanced.

I don't think this is normal. I thinks something is very wrong and you can't put your finger on what. You need some help with this. Start talking to someone you can trust about these feelings. You may want to seek counceling.

Hope you feel better!

I agree with Sherasi (she always gives great answers).

If there is nothing leading you to that anger then it should be hormonal.

If I understand you clearly, you feel like doing aggresive things but you manage to get a hold of yourself. This is good. It means even though you feel the anger you are able to control it.

In that point I also agree with Methos. Your behavior may be normal (up to a point) but you still have to check it out with a professional, maybe a doctor at first to confirm if it is a hormonal problem. In case it´s not hormonal you should go to a psychologyst to try to figure out what is making you angry.

Good luck!

Is this connected in any way to your periods? When I used to have them, I would get very agitated just before, just after, and in the middle of the month. I had PMS.

Good advice - talk to your doctor about this.

It has nothing to do with my period. It never happens around my period suprisingly. Thats some of the reason why im scared.

Hi. I would like you to read this because I had the same symptoms when I was your age. I may go a little too long of a story, but it will be well worth the read.
At your age I was angry all the time. I was drinking at age 14, because where I grew up there were no enforced rules on underage drinking. Anyways as the years went on, the anger would subside and then come back, over and over. This went on for years. I remember in 1959 my boss asking me what the hell was wrong with me being a jerk all the time. I remember telling him that I was depressed and didn't know what to do about it. He told me to go and see a psychiatrist, but I just laughed and said, Yeah, like I need a shrink!! Anyway this goes on in my life till I reach age 64, yes ma'm, 64. I have been married for 21 years and just in the middle of January, my wife must have really been tired of my attitudes and moods. She went to see my family doctor and told her about me. She came home and said to me, John, you have an appointment with your Dr. this afternoon at 3:00PM. I asked her what was wrong and she said that she was afraid that our marriage would not last much longer. OK, it finally hit home and I felt a huge weight come off my shoulders. I thought, "she cares enough for me to do this". I went to the Dr. and finally I admitted being depressed and angry for years, but would not admit it. She went ahead and prescribed an anti-depressant for me and in about 5-6 days, my world turned upside down. All my bad thought slowly left my head and all the positive ones grew larger and better. I haven't thought of death since the middle of Jan. And our marriage is going wonderfully. I went to Hawaii 2 weeks after I started taking my anti-depressants and had a second honeymoon for three weeks while in Hawaii and it is still going. I am so happy that she took the enitiative and seeked help for me. I owe her my life and I never again take her for granted and express my love for her daily. I was worth it.
Now, I am not giving advice, but read my story once again and think of what I had denied all those years and the suffering I went through . I don't wish that on anyone and I hope this story will help. Love from John...
and , oh yes, I'm also seeing a counselor twice a month and letting all my past junk out of my system. God, I feel good today....

Johnny, that is a wonderful story. What you must have suffered. I wish every person who feels as you felt could read it.

Have a wonderful life!

Catty

yes, professional opinions will definately help.

and, for the time being, may i suggest that you invest in a very punchable pillow...

What a great story Johnny you have touched my heart! I'm so glad to hear you are doing good now may the rest of your life be filled with happiness and love. Beth

Great reply and believe me they work wonders. Beth

Thanks, Beth. And it still feels good and more relaxing as the days go by. Sometimes it's hard to believe how life was before. I don't ever want to go back there again.
