Honest question.

[Dnel82]

We all know what a struggle it can be living with an anxiety disorder. The physical symptoms alone tend to take it's toll. Honestly has anyone ever went into a fit of rage because of their anxiety? You become so overwhelmed and frustrated you can't help but burst out?

[Worried-help]

I know how you feel. I have become frustrated at times just wanting to feel how I felt before the anxiety.

I know how you feel! It’s like you get into this cycle, you feel good and then it’s kike you are waiting for it to hit again.

Hello yes I have many times over the years unfortunately I never new it was anxiety at the time I thought I was stressed and lashing out at the smallest thing, it's horrible but now I no because my doc told me it's down to anxiety not stress, if this is what you mean then the answer is yes xx

My anxiety causes me so much fear and I feel stuck. I usually end up breaking down crying.

Honestly, Dnel, I have had fits of rage. I tried to limit the worst of it until I wasn't around anyone. Like drive to an isolated place, and scream. I would also drive nails into blocks of wood, or frantically scrub walls. Channeling my rage into something physically productive kept me out of trouble. Uncontrolled rage can be scary, both to watch, and to experience

Yes, i use to go pound rocks with a sledgehammer to vent.

Yeah I’ve been here, if I don’t watch it mine comes out bit by bit in day to day life at my partner, colleagues, family and friends. But what I’m saying or doing feels like no big deal compared to the rage I’m feeling inside of pure frustration. Until I see the impact on people. I manage this now by doing lots of exercise, being assertiv about my boundaries and when I need head space, and being quick to both apologise and forgive tempers. If o ever find myself feeling snappy or hot with anger at work for example I take the first chance I can to step away and take ten deep breaths xx
