DO I HAVE A MENTAL DISORDER?


[+] serious ballot by TheGreatLSD
created Thu Oct 12, 06

I really need your advice on this one, guys.

Occasionally, I get in this state of rage. I call it rage because I want to destroy everything that I stand for. It's almost like something else has taken a hold of me and wants to destroy everything I've done. I thought about anger problems, but I don't act out. Or I act out in different ways than violence. i.e. I will ditch friends, hate everyone, and generally just be a crudy person.

I have lost friends because of this. I noticed it's generally towards all people in general, including myself. Please. Does anyone have any help?

It's normal, of course
You're just f***ed up
I have help...
You're mad at yourself
You are a Republican
If you have to ask...then yes...you're probably gay too.

We're living in stressful times, so I've seen such behavior all too often these days. But I would get help ASAP, more for yourself than those around you. Negative feelings like that can have a pronounced effect on you, both mentally and physically. And I speak as a person with some experience in mental-health issues.

I'm no expert, but regardless of whether you are acting out, I still think you need to consider whether you have anger issues and could benefit from some anger management training.
by cranky on Thu Oct 12, 06 6:53pm [+]

I know someone who has similar moods. I think it is an anger management problem, but it may be caused by physical issues and not psychological ones. For example, I read that High Blood pressure can cause what you describe. I think you should get a complete physical and maybe see a Psychologist. I also know of someone who was taking these over the counter energy pills that you can buy in Deli's and those were making him act just like you describe.

I know you say you don't act out, but really, you are. Just because you don't punch something or someone doesn't mean you're not acting agressively. I think go to your Dr. and try to tell him exactly when this happens. For example, when ever you feel this way, try to see if there is a common factor and maybe that is whats causing it?

I have to admit I have virtually the same issue and I can go into absolute rages sometimes and I've actually had to be medicated for it. I haven't had one in a while. I can tell you more in Private messages.

Too little information to really give any targeted advice, TGLSD. You don't mention your age, but here are some initial possibilities that come to mind:

* You may still be (at the risk of sounding cliche'd) "finding yourself," especially if you are under 25. Dissatisfaction with interim 'selves' is not uncommon.

* You may be extremely dissatisfied with your current lot/ position/ circumstances in life -- if you have internalized the Great American canard that life is (or is mostly) a Meritocracy, you may be experiencing cognitive dissonance beween who you think you are and what you appear to have 'earned.' This might manifest itself in a strong urge to change your 'self' so that you can change you circumstances. Finding onesself in an ever- repeating cycle where the circumstances don't improve could prove very frustrating.

* You have been living your life based on the desires/ principles of others -- taking actions because others tell you these are 'right' rather than what you may (secretly) believe in your heart. Hypothetical example: Your folks want you to get an MBA, but you have no interest in business. But you take that major because you assume it is 'the right/ adult/ rational thing to do.'

* You may be in some situation where you feel a significant lack of control or ability to affect outcomes.

As I said, just some speculation. If it is affecting your life significantly, seeking some counseling could be useful. (BTW, IMO, anyone who is sane seeks counseling at some period sof their lives, unless they just don't have the means).

It is unlikely there is a physiological disorder, but that might be a possibility.

Don't continue to hurt people. You cannot undo hurt with the push of a button. That hurt goes on.

Alright, thanks all of those who actually gave real advice. It helps me more than you know.
