Anger problems starting to affect my everyday life?!
Question: I've always been short tempered, but for the past few weeks or past month, I've been in such a different mood than I usually am.
At school I feel fine most the time, probably because I'm around my friends and I don't feel the anger or I don't want to show it. But when I get home, I get into this slump where I'm VERY irritable and I feel depressed like
~everything is pointless
~nothing matters much anymore
~I don't feel good about myself
~I'm TIRED!
~and things like school don't intrest me anymore.
My anger is what i'm most worried about. Idk if the depressed feeling is related to it, but when I get really really mad, all I want to do is punch and break things (and i've done that already).
There is no gradual increase, my anger spikes so fast that I'm afraid one day I'll do something I regret (like hurt someone or MYSELF!).
I use the method of wearing a rubber band on my wrist so i can snap it when i'm mad (and i have before, so bad it left bruises).

Is there a root for your anger ? You should try to talk to your friends , like carly , jen , chelsea or even your older brother jim. Whenever your angry just call one of your friends and talk it out , it's better then hurting yourself . Because if you keep on using the method of hurting yourself now to make you feel better , it might elevate to hurting yourself permanently . Whenever your pissed off , go run it out till you can't run anymore it will clear your head off . You should i don' t know , paint a painting when your pissed off , use a lotta red that might help you out . Though , you should talk to your parents there not gonna laugh at you and they might even help you out . Or there's some chemical imbalance in your brain and you might need some meds for your anger/depression problems. You should watch the movie anger management :) You could also meditate.

Definitely talk to your family doctor or a psychiatrist if possible.
Tbh, psychiatrist would be better, since all a doctor is likely to do is try and put you on medication, which should be a last ditch type of thing, and not the first option you should go for. A non medicated way to find a way to release you anger, such as getting involved in kick boxing or working out could possibly help as well.
I am sure you are too young but....
Birth control pills cause abrupt changes in hormones
causing mood swings for some and pregnancy can cause similiar mood swings.
If these don't apply you may have an imbalance or some underlying medical issue that can be solved. The fatigue concerns me at your age.
hey gurley i was going thru the exact same thing when i was 15 and now im 17 and i always took life the hard way so my mum always says, and every time i got angry id punch a hole thru the wall...i've even tried to commit suicide a few times,but i guess that was life for me, now i dont know about you but i totaly regret the bad things i've done especially to my mum but yeah sh*t happens, and i would proberbly talk to that councellor at your school just about the anger problem you have tho dont want them going in to your personal life but yeah even hang with friends after school sometimes, just take it easy alrite your only young 'were only young' and try just be happy most of time,...hey wait till you fall in love its like you feel all the emotions a humanbeing can feel its even sort of like harder than life.........well sori bout going on and on but i really feel for you and just live life...
Anger can be caused by a lot of things.I think depression has some part of the anger. When you feel angry and some people just feel like giving up on life,no one cares about them, nothing interests them at all and that they are just fed up with life in general. It may help if you see a psychiatrist who can help perscribe some medications for you which will help you control your temper.Seeing a psychologist could help as well. Almost the same as a counselor.The way you eat can make a difference.If you want any more advice feel free to message me.
