I am just so angry with myself. I can't get the anger out of me and it is boiling over. I need to throw and break and punch and cut and cry. And I can't do any of them.

Why can't you just go somewhere and cry? Or bury your face in something and scream! Can you punch your bed?

PLEASE do not cut......it's just not an option.

I'm sorry you are so angry at yourself. Did something trigger it? Throw ice cubes into the bathtub, that might help. Go somewhere and cry, let it all out, you'll feel much better. I hope that you feel better soon. We are here for you. Hugs

Why r u angry with yourself?

My main Bipolar symtom is self rage..I understand the irrational anger towards ones self.

I don't have much to offer you in advice..except what people have said above.
I have to take a Xanax to cope with this kind of anger.

Just know you are not alone with these feelings
Good luck sweetie

I have bouts like that too, especially when under extra stress of some kind....if the feeling doesn't blow over, you might want to consult your dr. It could also be a side effect from some meds that can cause that....have you started anything new lately, or increased anything?

If you can't do anything with your emotions, that sounds like you're emotionally disconnected, which can be a more severe form of depression....not less....do you have a therapist?

Try doing something physical-treadmill, elliptical. plug loud music in your ipod and go for a run.

I'm angry at myself for a lot of things. I will get mad at myself for anything since there is just so much general anger inside of me.

I don't have a therapist at the moment. I just switched heal insurance companies so I am working on finding a new one.

Fill sink up with cold water and add ice cubes. Wait a few minutes. Pull back hair if nec, put face in for as long aas you can. Up for air. Down again. Do like 10 times. Then go take a hot shoer or visa versa. Should change your mood. But you have to do both. I was told to do this in the hospital.
