Greetings fellow TFP'ers.

I have problems with anger management. My explosive behavior is episodic rather than chronic, but sometimes I have real problems controlling what I do and say.

How many of us here believe they could benefit greatly from exercising more control?

What are the methods you use to help yourself (and if it's bad enough, other people)?

Today I had an episode. Really bad; punching walls, punching my head, yelling, walking outside seeking someone to fight with. Strangely enough, it was over my dissatisfaction with the sex I just had (I think it is ironic one would be so upset after having having sex).

I think some of this may be linked to the new medication I am taking (my behavior has been increasingly violent/aggressive when provoked, as the label indicates as a side effect). I took a very large dose of it a few nights ago and since I have had one other episode (two episodes in three days is too much). I place responsibility on myself, but I know to not judge myself for it.

I'm really happy for myself when I know I controlled myself well when I knew I was approaching my "beserk limit".

I am an 18 year old male. I have heard from credible sources that the described behavior happens mostly in my age and sex population (young males). Do you have any opinions or input on this?
