Hi, i have a problem that has slowly been growing. I have not been evaluated by docters but i think i have some anger issues. My father takes medication for anger issues and my grandmother is bipolar. I think i am because anything sets me off and i cant control myself, i have almost stabed my brother with a knife. When i think about things i do when i am mad i am dissapointed in myself. i have punched myself so i wont puch holes in my walls, i have left sevaral bruses on my stomach that will hurt for 4 or 5 days afterward. i need help and i have accepted that i have anger problems. If i do set up a docters appointment what should i tell them i have and what type of medicine.  ps> i punched myself cause i was trying to stay on a diet and i stoped for one day and i got pissed off. i geuss its cause i am always called a fat ass :( i wiegh 180, and i am 6", male.
Degree understand your concerns went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. Anger always comes due to frustrations in life. Frustrations are normal with everyone. People learn to ignore frustrations when they get experienced. Do you get angry to circumstances outside your home as you get angry at your house? Your office, bus stand, railway station, neighbors etc. If yes, you might need to get evaluated for anger issues. If NO, just understand and compare the two situations, and you can be better yourself. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.
